It’s getting hot in herre…
Do you feel that? Sun is out, Ray-Bans are on, and summer is in full swing! What better way to groove out to the nicest time of the year than to listen to some tunes while you’re hanging out the cottage, cruising down the highway with your windows down, or laying down in your 10ft sandcastle on a beach. Join Tuong La and Saucy Summertime Lovers Adam Jasim, Ryan Hueglin, and Laura Gordon as they rank the Top 5 best summer songs of ALL TIME!

Ground Rules
- songs must invoke the spirit of summer rather than a multi-purpose song that is good at all times of the year
- nostalgia can be a factor
- has good vibes and makes you happy/content (ie relaxing, reminds of you of the beach, water)
- we are talking about ALL TIME songs
- doesn’t actually have to have the word “summer” in the song
