I'm pretty sure that Mungo Jerry was the first 45 I ever bought. Brings back memories of cutting out the cardboard 45s on the back of cereal boxes.

Can't pass on the obvious: Frankie or Lyle's versions of "Summer Wind".
I know the're kinda corny but Chicago's "Saturday in the Park" and Alice Cooper's "School's Out" bring back fond high school memories.

I can't help but imagine zooming down a highway in the desert in August after a thunderstorm when I listen to "St. Elmo's Fire" by Eno, even though I don't drive and haven't been to the Southwest.

Stevie Wonder's "Master Blaster" also makes me think of Summer.

OK...how 'bout The Lovin' Spoonful's Summer in the City?

Hi Buddha,

You being a west coast boy and all, might not be hip to the sounds of world's greatest bar band - NRBQ and their quintessential summer song "Ridin' In My Car", so I forgive you.
