The Songs Of Summer

Here’s The Song Of The Summer, For Each Of The Last 100 Summers

With Memorial Day in the rearview, summer is basically here. Which means it’s nearly time to anoint yet another Song of the Summer — the track that everyone gets up for at the start of the season and inevitably gets run into the ground by mid-July. (Iggy Azalea is the clear frontrunner to bring home this year’s title.)

But before we could even get to that debate, the Boston Globe decided to strike up a conversation about songs of summers past — like, the last 100 of them — by compiling their list of the past century’s best summer tracks and sticking them in the infographic below.

You might notice that not all of the tracks are chart-toppers. The Globe chose its entries based on “a loose criteria of release date, when they peaked in popularity, and because they help illustrate how we enjoyed music that summer.”

Also of note: it’s now been 19 years since you first tried to keep up with Left Eye’s “Waterfalls” rap. God, you’re so old.

Agree? Disagree? Any centenarians pissed about Over There making the list?

I was born in the Summer of '67. I have seen those "What was the number one song when you were born?" lists and was disappointed to see that Windy was it for me. I am OK with Groovin' though.

Yeah, that pic is why I clicked on the article. I had no idea that it was about music.

2008 should've been "I Kissed a Girl"

This is the best summer song.

One of my all time favorites. The list is made up of songs that were wildly popular during a specific Summer and then faded. This one is just a great song forever.

Man....the early 2000's really sucked.

What no- Summer Nights by Van Halen?

Lots of crap music on this list. I honestly don't understand how people can listen to the shit they call music now days let alone buy it??

I remember vividly taking my son to his first baseball game at Royals stadium on a beautiful, sunny June Sunday. During pregame the PA played groovin'. An all time favorite of mine from childhood. I sang it with my son and daughter.

That song was written for summer. Any summer.

The months are off by a few but it's strange to me that this song was big last Summer:

And the list is pimping this song for this Summer:

Also, the list ignores this?
