Today, June 21, marks the official beginning of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere. For me, summertime brings back fond memories of backyard cookouts, nights camping out under the stars, the sweet smell of jasmine floating up from the jasmine bush under my bedroom window and long, lazy days at the beach, feeling the sun’s rays caressing my limbs.
Summertime is also the perfect time to cruise around town, with the car’s windows rolled down, listening to music playing on the car’s radio.
Here then, are some of my favorite summer songs.
Given recent events, including a world economy that continues to falter and a worsening ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, this may indeed turn out to be a cruel summer.
BANANARAMA - Cruel summer
The next song, by the Los Angeles based group WAR, is an all-time summer, car cruising song.
WAR – Summertime
In California where the summers lasts all year long, the Beach Boys and their hit song, California Girls, are a reminder of why in spite of all of our current problems, California is still the place to be!

Enjoy your summertime!
