It's Oh So Quiet....

Shhh ... Shhh ...

I've been really quiet the last six months. It's now for a summer party on my pages. You know the kind: lots of fun friends, jokes, bbq, patio furniture. Today's topic of summer fun is all the music that reminds you of pure summertime. Let's kick off this summer list with a few of my favorites:

1. All Summer Long, Kid Rock ... cuz everyone has a little WT in their grass roots
2. Summer of 69, Brian Adams ... yessiree!
3. Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffet ... even for the non-drinkers
4. Two Pina Coladas, Garth Brooks ... for the drinkers
5. Say Hey, Michael Franti & Spearhead ... gotta have some dancehall
6. Soul Sister, Train ... ooo, fun stuff
7. I Want You to Want Me, Cheap Trick ... reaching back
8. Three Little Birds, Bob Marley ... well, any Bob really but I have 3 little birds ;)
9. Upside Down, Jack Johnson ... curious george in a music video makes me smile
10. Banana Split, Louis Prima ... all-time favorite swing song
11. Come By Me, Harry Connick Jr. ... unless you count the awesomeness that is Harry
12. Country Road, John Denver ... it's john!
13. Walking Man, James Taylor ... come on, sunshine and a guitar. if you're not hearing it, get your ears checked
14. Shame on You, Indigo Girls ... very summery feeling if you've ever lived in the south
15. Beautiful Girls, Sean Kingston ... ok who can resist more fun rhythms?
16. Footloose, Kenny Loggins ... cuz I heard this last night, rocked out, and it's summer
17. I Just Haven't Met You Yet, Michael Buble ... a REAL Michael Bubbly song (haters can stand to the right, lovers can stand to the left, I will just dodge bullets)
18. Beautiful, Snoop ... need I say more
19. The Way You Make Me Feel, MJ ... mmmmmmmmm
20. Rock Star, N.E.R.D. ... who doesn't love a little N.E.R.D. - for reals??

Please Note: This list contains laid back, relaxing car songs.
Also Please Note: Stay tuned for the Dance Version of Summer Songs. It will include amazing pieces like One by Swedish House Mafia.
Also Also Please Note: This song list is my sacred cow; your opinions mean nothing to me!
Also Also Also Please Note: I just realized I missed Fishing in the Dark by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Peace Out.
