With the Memorial Day weekend fast approaching and since that's regarded as the unofficial beginning of Summer, I thought it might be fun to share favorite songs about the season. Doesn't even have to be about Summmer. Just any song that you strongly associate with the season ... for whatever reason.
I'll kick it off with a Motown classic.

That's a good one, Tennesseer . That's the original, I think. That song has been covered by several groups. Here's another summer song with Detroit roots.

John B. Sebastian wrote plenty of pretty songs for The Lovin Spoonful but the contrast between edgy and pretty in Summer in the City propelled that song to #1 on the charts.
Here's a song that doesn't mention summer even once (no lyrics) but it screams it, nonetheless.

Not that I really associate it with the season but when you mention Summertime and music this popped into my head.
