Wild Thing - The Troggs
Hotel California - The Eagles
Ode to Billy Joe - Bobbie Gentry

Your turn.

For some reason Nirvana's "I Hate Myself and I Want to Die" reminds me of summer. I look bad in shorts and I hate to sweat.
Bee Gees' cloying "I Started A Joke" because it was playing relentlessly every summer evening on my really cool round AM radio (changed 9V battery every three hours) and the song fueled my pre-adolescent irritated attitude; and Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper" because I could drive nihilistically, late at night, through empty suburban streets that all smelled like wet cut grass -- and STILL couldn't get the idea out of my head that putting an umlaut on "Oyster" seemed hopelessly illiterate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_umlaut
"San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)" - Scott McKenzie
"The Ballad of John & Yoko" - The Beatles
"Heart of Gold" - Neil Young
"4th of July, Asbury Park" - Bruce Springsteen
"I Love You, Suzanne" - Lou Reed
"Daniel" by Elton John. I worked at UPS one summer and the relentless planes flying overhead always reminded me of that song.
1. Backstreet Boys - "I Want It That Way"
2. Lil Rob - "Summer Nights"
3. Don Henley - "Boys of Summer"
4. Eagles - "One Of These Nights"
5. Dire Straits - "Walk of Life"
There are so many more...but those are some okay ones! :)
