This iconic musical number is synonymous with summer love, as well as the differing male and female perspectives on love.

Don Henley - Boys of Summer

A somber, yet uplifting reflection on the final days of summer and the memories we all carry with us for the rest of our lives.

The Surfaris - Wipeout

The most well-known drum solo of all-time, trust me, I play drums and EVERYONE asks if I can play this. It's the perfect song for surfing or just dancing it out!

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69

It’s time to rock out and remember high school!!

The summer is a great time to just relax and hang out with your friends, and few songs are as perfect for that as Summertime.

This song isn’t quite the fun summer vibe of most of this list, but I love it, and it has a place in summertime relaxing for sure.

While most adults don’t get the summer off, we can all remember how great it was to feel the way they do in this song!

Who doesn’t love this one?? It’s like a Christmas carol for summer!
