The Songs Of Summer
Here’s The Song Of The Summer, For Each Of The Last 100 Summers
By Ryan Perry / 05.30.14 ![]() 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? |

This whole cd IS summertime. I'd bet you could put it on in KC in February and be transported to the beach. At least that's how it hits me. Either way the band is dope. Reggae/rock/funk/electronic mix!!

I suggest that this thread would be infinitely more interesting if it was titled The Thongs of Summer.

Two that are missing imo
Lyrics are definitely dated now about the 8-track but perfect for that year and damn what a song to kick back to with a cold drink.

There was a good stretch of those songs in the 90's and 2000's I have never heard of or heard them.

This always reminds me of a particular summer (All I Wanna Do - Sheryl Crow).
