Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

It's Hot, Real Hot, Today and Bob Stroud Did His Annual Ten at Ten Show on Summer Songs... It Must Be....: 'Under the Boardwalk'

This morning at 10 a.m., Bob Stroud played ten summer songs on his Ten at Ten show on Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM, the Drive.  The fact that its really warm, with 99 degrees forecast, June 21st and the fact that he played these ten songs makes me stringly believe that we must have enetered the best time of the year.  And, that would be... SUMMER!!.

Here are the ten songs he played.  All very Summer Worthy.

SCHOOL'S OUT--  Alice Cooper

IN THE SUMMERTIME--  Mungo Jerrry    My all-time most favorite summer song.

SUMMER BREEZE--  Seals & Crofts

UNDER THE BOARDWALK--  Drifters

SATURDAY IN THE PARK--  Chicago

DO IT AGAIN--  Beach Boys

HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME--  Sly & the Family Stone

SUMMER IN THE CITY--  Lovin Spoonful

SUNNY AFTERNOON--  Kinks

MR. BLUE SKY--  ELO

Also, maybe, just maybe, today's date might have something to do with it.

By the way, you can hear this again at 10 pm tonight.  Plus, if you still need more Summer Songs, this Sunday Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots show on WDRV will be three hours of summer songs from 9 am to noon, CDST.  It streams.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "The Tax Man's Taken All My Dough  And Left Me In My Stately Home."  Answer below.  --RoadDog


"Sunny Afternoon"
