Summer Playlist

What better way to usher in Summer than with a great playlist.

Here’s a playlist of songs that just say summer to me.  They are all upbeat,  fun, and for whatever reason, I recall them being released (or first becoming a hit) in the summer. This recollection is highly suspect.

So fire up the barbecue, blow up those pool toys, call up the friends and be sure to turn up the stereo.

• Soak up the Sun – Sheryl Crow
• MMMBop – Hanson
• Best of My Love – The Emotions
• Sunshine Superman – Donovan
• That Lady – Isley Brothers
• California Gurls – Katy Perry
• Blurred Lines – Robin Thicke
• This is What you Came For – Calvin Harris
• I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas
• Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen
• Jessie’s Girl – Rick Springfield
• Crystal Blue Persuasion – Tommy James and the Shondells

Highly subjective, in no particular order,  and not open to criticism.
