top 10 summer bangers.

1. summertime - dj jazzy jeff & the fresh prince (basically the best summer song ever, hands-down, forget about will's later transgressions)

2. under the boardwalk - the drifters (scintillating)

3. dock of the bay - otis redding (not even a song about summer... but i associate it with the summer of 1993 when i would blast k-earth 101 and shoot hoops in my front yard all day)

4. on a sunday afternoon - lighter shade of brown (chill as hell)

5. LDN - lily allen (summer of '06)

6. ridin' - chammillionaire feat. krayzie bone (also summer of '06)

7. summer in the city - the lovin' spoonful (see explanation for #3)

8. crazy in love - beyonce feat. jay-z (this was my favorite song alllll summer in 2003. i will never get sick of this fucking classic)

9. summertime - sublime (i would be remiss if i did not include some rendition of this porgy & bess standard, also a classic)

10. grindin' - clipse (this site alerted me to the fact this song came out in the summer of '02. gotta throw it in)
