Youโve got some songs on that playlist that I like a lot! Particularly 1, 2, 3(!), 5, 7(!), and 8(!).
Some not on there that would definitely need to be on a Summer Songs playlist that I concocted for myself would be โSummerโ by War, and โThe Warmth Of The Sunโ & โAll Summer Longโ by The Beach Boys. (Helck, Iโd probably wind up putting the entire Beach Boys album โEndless Summerโ on my playlist!)
What a nice playlist. My favorite here was the video of Summer in the City; I loved that song so when it came out that I bought the 45. The vintage images, so well put together. I am not a Kid Rock fan but thatโs another song I really like, possibly because the music is a mash up of three other songs I really like. Very nice, and, as ht as this summer was, Iโm not going to be happy to see it end. Why? Because it means winter is on its way.
Glad you enjoyed the playlist, Alana! Kid Rock put together a memorable summer tune, made from, as you said, three other great songs. Iโm with about summer, and will take heat over cold, any day!
So, are you trying to tell me that you like summer? lol If I lived in Canada, I probably would love the warmer months. Okay, โloveโ is a bit of a stretch but Iโd sure like it better than Canadian winters. Your playlist is fantastic with all of these oldies. I donโt know if I can count Kid Rockโs song as an oldie just yet, but itโs a fun song nonetheless. Thanks for joining the party and have a boogietastic week, Debbie!
Haha โ yes! Summer is my favourite season, even though we live in the โBanana Beltโ of Canada (our โDeep Southโ). Our winters arenโt nearly as bad as most of the country, thank goodness! Glad you enjoyed the playlist, Cathy. Thanks for co-hosting this fun music fest!
Iโm not for The Red Hot but love all the others. Now if I had a 1957 convertible, with the big fins, Iโd play these tunes while cruising down some old highway.
Thatโs a great mental picture, Birgit! Letโs go cruisinโ. Ordinarily, Iโm not a big fan of the Chili Peppers either, but I love this haunting ballad.
Hi, Debbie. I wrote a comment about your post but it wouldnโt publish. The error message said it was a duplicate comment. I wonder if this comment will publish.

Your poem is cute, Debbie. Now that weโre into August, I can start to look forward to cooler weather coming up in September (I hope) and in October (definitely maybe). I donโt count on anything with the weather these days because of climate change.
I know what you mean, Janie! Here in the โGreat White Northโ, we have had Florida-type weather. And yet, today it feels like fall, with a return to hot later in the week. Sheesh! Glad you liked the poem. Thanks for reading!
Coming from London, I had two โSummer Recordsโ that I enjoyed every year. โSummer In The Cityโ, which you listed, and โLong Hot Summerโ by The Style Council, released in 2004. (May not be known in Canada) I also have a fondness for Will Smithโs โSummertimeโ. It is the hottest day of the year so far here, 34C. (93F) Too hot for most people in England.
Best wishes, Pete.
That sure is hot for England! Itโs been a summer of extremes everywhere. Weโve had extreme heat along with extreme rain, but today feels like fall. Go figure! I donโt know those last two songs you me mentioned, but remember Will Smith used to be a rapper. Found this:
Your playlist is full of hits, those years were the golden times for bands as well as audiences too and girls looked beautiful Cool post Debbie!! Have a good new week!!

Glad you enjoyed the playlist, Steven! Even Janis? Wow!
The Beach Boys definitely conjure up images of summer. Hereโs War, for you:
Itโ summer over here all year round!
Love your playlist with all of these fantastic oldies.
Happy Wednesday, Debbie!
I would love that, Veronica! Well, except maybe at Christmas time, but I think I could adjust.
Thanks for coming by!
