Summer songs!!

[hunnybunch]

Hi, I'm trying to compile a CD of summer tunes and was just wondering if anyone could give me some songs to put on it, I'm 15 by the way. Thanks.

Summertime by Jazzy Jeff featuring The Fresh Prince is *the* summer tune.  Try checking out the soundtracks to films like American Pie, Blue Crush etc for happy bouncy songs.  It goes without saying The OC soundtrack is probably full of songs you could use.

You can find a lot  of soundtrack listings on www.imdb.com.  If in doubt, google it.

albatross is an old but good lazy summer tune also bob marley is made to be listened to in the sunshine !

1. Summer in the city

2. School's Out

3. V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.

4. Summer Wind

but at 15 you'll not have heard of any of them.

Here comes the summer by The Undertones

I love 'We be Dreaming' (i think) by the Blazin Squad, v summery. 

Long Hot Summer by The Style Council (an ANCIENT track hun, but great)

Elton had a re-hit of Are You Ready a couple of summers ago; that's quite catchy.

I sound like an old duffer, I'm not honest. :0

My favourites are Samantha Mumba's "always come back" and Jessica Simpson's "I think I'm in love".
