I think the song of last summer in particular (although any year will do) is Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.

 

[mtbskalover]

Summertime - Sublime

Fat Freddy's Drop - anything

for me and my friends, this summer is
THE SUMMER OF DUB!

fat freddys and salmonella dub seem to be the very favoruite choices.

also the dub, reggae, pure ska, hip-hop side of sublime is great in the summer too.

Happy Mondays - Step On - choooonn of my summer in '89 that. All that heat and all the blokes still had all that hair curtain style swishing around their faces

Bran Van 3000 - Drinking in LA

Dee-lite - Groove is in the heart & B52s - Love Shack. Both equally good at any time of the year but particularly in the summer.

I'm too much of an album person to single out individual tracks, but 'Life' by The Cardigans is pretty much a perfect summer album.

Has anyone mentioned Sunshine Superman by Donovan yet? It's always one of my fave summer tunes. Saw him doing it at the weekend.

And before you say it, yes i am a bit of a hippy sometimes
