Songs About Summer

Summer is here, folks, and I can hardly think of anything I like better than the hot-weather activities the season brings on: barbecues, beach trips, convertible trips with the top down (if you're lucky enough to know anyone with a convertible, anyway). But one of the most important elements for all those things is a great soundtrack; you need songs that are upbeat, that are happy, and that somehow channel that carefree, fabulous Summer feeling. I've got your seasonal songs right here — whether they have the word "Summer" right in the title or are about this blissful time of year.
