If you like country

"Watermelon Crawl" by Tracy Byrd
"All Summer Long" by Kid Rock

And everything else I can think of has already been mentioned.

[SongsOfDragons]

If you like cheesy pop, Aqua's Heat of the Night and Good Morning Sunshine.

Second Beach Boys.

Maybe Texas? They always sounded summery...

Kinks' Sunny Afternoon.

Jester, how could you miss Howard Livingston's Livin' on Key West Time?

Agreed with Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffet.

[AnaKhouri]

This is not so much sun-related as music that just lifts my spirits and makes me want to move, but Queen's Don't Stop Me Now and almmost anything by Daft Punk.

And of course, Katrina and Waves' Walking on Sunshine.

[DGoddessChardonnay]

I'll go with "455 Rocket" by Kathy Mattea any day.

[dalesys]

A little Fire!

Oh hell yes, any Queen is da bomb!

And Dalesys, yeah, I thought of that one...One of our old faves at our house, but I didn't want to give anybody in Australia the creeps (what with the wildfires there...)

[Jester]

Jester, how could you miss Howard Livingston's Livin' on Key West Time?

Simple. When you live in Key West, acts like Livingston and Michael McCloud are such a part or daily life, you often forget about them. Same way people who live in places like Florida and Arizona forget how awesome the sunrises and sunsets are, because they always see them.
