Summer Songs

[Sharop]

Now that summer is approaching, I thought I'd start a thread about which songs make you think of summer, and which of them you like.

Here's some for me:

"Summer in the City" - Lovin' Spoonful
"Summer Nights" - John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John
"If You're Going to San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Sunflowers in Your Hair)" - Scott McKenzie
"Summer Breeze" - First sung by Seals and Crofts, then covered by the Isley Brothers.
"Midnight at the Oasis" - Maria Muldaur
"Under the Boardwalk" - The Drifters
"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" - Otis Redding
"What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted" - Jimmy Ruffin
"When a Man Loves a Woman" - Percy Sledge
"Soul Man" - Sam and Dave

(The last three remind me of summer because I first heard them during the summertime.)

So which songs remind you of summer? Which summer songs do you like? I personally like all of those I've listed above, what about the rest of you?
