To ask for your best 70s/80s summer tunes

[Coroico97]

Just that really. Planning a party and need to create a playlist. My faves - Long Hot Summer by Style Council and Cruel Summer - The GREAT Nanarama. All your faves welcome here. THANK YOU!

Summer of '69
Mr Blue Sky
Summer Nights
Shool's out

In the summertime - Mungo Jerry

Hot in the City - Billy Idol

Brilliant suggestions. Totally forgot Grease! Tons of good material there! Think have to have Oh What a Night too - and gloss over fact it was actually about a night in December!

'Barbados' by Typically Tropical

(Hot town) Summer in the City by the Loving Spoonful

Summer Fun by The Barracudas

Plus just about everything by the Beach Boys.

'Holiday' by Madonna. Always makes me want to turn up the radio and sing along.

And 'don't dream it's over' crowded house, and t'paus 'China in your hand'.

Bowie/Jagger 'Dancing in the Street'

KC & The Sunshine Band - Give It Up
Fat Larrys Band - Zoom

Both remind me of being a child in the 6 weeks Summer holidays!

Lovely day is the best tune ever, but I still see the Tetleys tea characters when I hear it

Boys of Summer- Don Henley.
Play that Funky Music- Wild Cherry.
This Town Ain't Big Enough- Sparks.

Summer Breeze, The Isley Brothers

Seasons in the sun..cant remember who

Boys Of Summer - Don Henley
Summer Of 69 - Bryan Adams
Summer Love Sensation - Bay City Rollers

Walking on sunshine, Katrina and the waves. Cheers me right up whenever I hear it.
Some John Cougar stuff would be a must.
In the air tonight, Phil Collins.
Rhythm is gonna get you, Gloria Estevan
Everybody wants to rule the world, Petshop Boys

Club Tropicana - Wham
Rio - Duran Duran

Circles in the Sand - Belinda Carlisle
Somewhere in my heart - Aztec Camera
Don't Go - Hothouse Flowers

Aztec Camera - Somewhere in my Heart - the one that goes 'Summer in the city and the air is still...'
Don Henley - Boys of Summer
Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine

Everybody wants to rule the world, Petshop Boys

That'd be Tears for Fears

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves. It borders on cheesy but it's an infectiously happy song!

Easy like a Sunday Morning - Commodores or Lionel Ritchie version

Very superstitious - Stevie Wonder

I believe when I fall in love (it will be forever) Stevie Wonder

All night Long - Lionel Ritchie

Pretty much any Stevie Wonder/Lionel Ritchie for that matter...

Dreadlock Holiday - 10cc

Bill Whithered...

Well he would do in the summer heat
