Default Summer songs

This thread seems familiar, but what the hey...

Ok, given that we seem to be craving sunshine, let's make a list of "summer songs"

To get us started, here's some obvious ones:
  1. Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles
  2. Summertime - Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
  3. Sunny Afternoon - The Kinks
  4. Summer in the City - The Lovin' Spoonful
  5. Sunshine on a Rainy Day - Zoe
  6. In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry
  7. Hot in the City - Billy Idol
  8. Summertime - Gershwin
  9. Summer Holiday - Cliff
  10. Summer of 69 - Brian Adams

Don't necessarily have to have summer in the title, or be weather related, but what tunes get you in the mood for summer?

My non-obvious ones would be:
  1. Today - Smashing Pumpkins
  2. Even Flow - Pearl Jam
  3. Crazy - Aerosmith
  4. Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack
  5. Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
  6. No Rain - Blind Melon
  7. The Sun Rising - The Beloved
  8. Hard to Handle - The Black Crowes
  9. Magic Number - De La Soul
  10. Hello, I Love You - The Doors

Some just seem to be sings I listened to in the summer growing up, others just have that vibe. Loads more but I'll let you guys (and gals) have a go now...

I'm rubbish with naming songs or movies for that matter, I'm your worst nightmare for a team member in a pub quiz. I'm the guy that starts singing in the music round and knows all the words to some obscure song, and can't remember who wrote or sang it.
