The Songs of Summer

Today, Bob Stroud devoted his Ten at Ten show on WDRV, the Drive in Chicago to the songs of summer, since it officially starts tomorrow.  I always enjoy listening to that, even if right now, we are in the storm mode and have had a big t-storm every day since Sunday.

Here are the ten:

HOT FUN IN THE SUMMER TIME--  Sly & Family Stone
MAGIC--  Cars
CALIFORNIA GIRLS--  Beach Boys

SUMMER OF '69--  Bryan Adams
SUMMERTIME BLUES--  Who
SUMMER IN THE CITY--  Lovin' Spoonful
THE BOYS OF SUMMER--  Don Henley

HOT SUMMER DAY--  It's a Beautiful Day
SCHOOL'S OUT--  Alice Cooper
IN THE SUMMER TIME--  Mungo Jerry

I always vote for my favorite of the ten songs and was all ready to go with "California Girls" because I spell summer B-E-A-C-H-B-O-Y-S, then I was with "School's Out" as that is the name of our boat.  But, the last song is my all-time favorite summer song, so went with that.

He replays it at 10 PM, CDST.  Plus, every Sunday closest to the start of summer, he devotes his whole Rock and Roll Roots show, 7-10, to summer songs.

Plus, tomorrow on WXRT, Wendy Rice will be going back to 1972 for her Saturday Morning Flashback show from 8-noon.  Both shows stream live.
