Summer themed songs wanted
As I'm going to Portugal in the summer to see England win Euro 2004 I'm trying to compile some music to take with me. What I'm looking for is summer themed music, so far I've got:-
In the summer time
Here comes the sun
Always the sun
Peaches
Golden brown (it reminds me of summer)
Fiesta
Summertime blues
Here comes the summer
Holidays in the sun

"Steal My Sunshine" by Len
"Boys of Summer" by various artists at one time or another
"The Boys Are Back In Town" by Thin Lizzy
"Brad Logan" by Rancid
"Surfin' Bird" by The Ramones
"Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys
"Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams

and less themed, but still fun:

"Kicking Pidgeons" by [spunge]



Stranglers fan are we John?

If it's about a British summer shouldn't these songs have 'rain' in them just to remind you of home.

Raindrops Are Falling on my Head.
Raining In My Heart
Waiting For The Rain To Fall
The Sun And The Rain
Who Let In The Rain
The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore

or even the oh so camp

It's Raining Men.

summer songs
There was a song by kiwi band, The Exponents, some years back called "The Summer You Never Meant" . It had a laid back acoustic feel to it. I still play it when I'm in that kind of lazy mood now and again. It's on their "Once Bitten, Twice Bitten" hits CD.

'Sunspots' by Julian Cope is a must.

How about 'Swallow' by Placebo? Swallows are quite summery...
