Summer 1984
Warrior - Scandal, 1984
Why this song? well the first time i ever went to Six Flags was with my girl scout troop and it's a long drive to Gurnee. I was so terribly excited to be going and see a real roller coaster that i sat forward in my seat the entire 90 minute drive. This song was on the radio as soon as i saw the biggest roller coaster i'd ever seen, The American Eagle. To me this song will always be summer at six flags.
Can't Stand it - Wilco, 1999
This song will always remind me of the summer of 1999-2001. We went to downtown Chicago quite a bit those summers and there were lots of fireworks shows set to this song.
Gangsta - Tune Yards 2011
this song...because it's been stuck on repeat in my brain for the last 4 months.
do you have a quintessential 'SUMMER SONG'?
what's on rotation in your brain this summer?

I am going to break it down top 5 style.
I know this first one is a bit cliche but have we met? hehe
#1 "Summertime" by Will "Fresh Prince of Bel-air" Smith-nuff said
#2 "Circle in the Sand" by Belinda Carlisle reminds me of climbing on my swing set and summers at my grandparents farm
#3 "Love and Affection" or any song by Nelson, reminds me of summer love, bicycling, skateboard romance
#4 There are a plethora of Ani songs that remind of summer. We had several cassettes in the 90s that we would drive around listening to in my friend's station wagon
#5 "Kinda high and kinda drunk" by Coolio brings back memories of cruising the strip in Springfield. Holla
So I couldn't find a link to that other Coolio song, but came across this one-probably the reason I became a teacher bwahahaha
