Collating the best summer playlist. What's your fave summer track?

[overthinkersanonnymus]

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!

Summer Breeze Isley Brothers

Somewhere in my Heart by Aztec Camera and Smooth by Santana. It needs to be hot before they are played though. Grey and miserable doesn't cut it.

Summer paradise - Simple Plan

The Boys Of Summer - Don Henley

Sunny Afternoon - The Kinks
Summertime - Fun Boy Three

Saturday Night at the Movies (The Drifters) is cheerful and upbeat enough to fit a summer playlist imo.
