HUH? To me, a summer song is a song about summer, not one released during the summer. Despite some fine tunes on this list, I'd count maybe five as songs with a summer theme. Even the Beach Boys' songs on this list aren't about summer specifically. And how about"Summertime," "It's Summertime," "Summer Song"?

I'm surprised at some of those included. Also, that "Kodachrome" was sooooooo far down the list, and that there were no Monkees releases included.
Cap'n Bob, "It's Summertime" by the Jamies is one of the all-time greats. I miss "Here Comes Summer," too.
Oops, Cap'n. I was thinking of "Summertime, Summertime."
Whenever Bill refers to some song list, it triggers to me to serach youtube. So, here are a few other songs that really are ABOUT summer:

I like the Beach Boys, but it was great to see Fergal Sharkey and the Undertones!
You're right, Bill. I should have said "Summertime. Summertime," by the Jamies instead of "It's Summertime."
At least we were both thinking of the same wrong title for the right song.
