Beatlebum, you have a great list! I love "She's Not There" and when I was young, I must have *worn out* Lulu's "Oh Me, Oh My!"

Tommy, Jan & Dean's Echo Beach...and Beach Baby. Catch A Wave... I always thought of "Don't Worry Baby" and "God Only Knows" as summer songs. And of course, there WAS "Summer Song." I think I wore out that track on my Lettermen album!

Phil, Your list reminded me of my teen heart-throb, Brian Hyland. "Sealed With A Kiss" was my BIG summer song, when I was *very young." And I actually went out and bought an "itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini" when I was 19!

Mine was yellow with pink polka dots, but I never knew if he meant a YELLOW polka-dot bikini (which is what *I* had), or a YELLOW POLKA-DOT bikini...hee-hee

You've already mentioned a few of my choices, but here are a few others:

Theme from "A Summer Place"-Percy Faith

"Hot Fun in the Summertime"- Sly and the Family Stone

"Theme From Hawaii Five-0" the Ventures

"Sunshine Music"- Papa Do Run Run

"Back in the USSR"- Beatles

"Little Michelle"- Ursa Minor

"Ca Plane Pour Moi"- Plastic Bertrand

"Friday on My Mind"- the Easybeats

"California Jam" - Klaatu

And though without any summer themes, these songs were part of my summers growing up:

"Jumpin'Jack Flash"- Rolling Stones

"Sunshine of Your Love"- Cream

"I Saw Her Standing There" - Beatles
