I'm feeling extremely summery today and I've had some absolute belters on, and need some more to add.

I feel like anything that was a Sumer holiday anthem in the 90s & early 2000s needs to be one there. The proper cheesy ones from your all inclusive holiday to turkey in 1998.

Anything that has either a maraca (is that how you spell it) or some sort of tin drum needs to be in three too.

Anything that gives you "summers here" goosebumps.

So far I've got:

Holly valance - Kiss Kiss (turkey 1998 remake)
Madonna - la isla Bonita
Calcium Harris - summer
Kevin little - turn me on
That Swedish bird - Viva espania ( I love it)
Lil John - Gasolina
Chaka Demus & Plyers - murder she wrote

Please add to to this playlist so I can close my eyes and dream of being on a beach!
