Not all my choices are about summer per se, but to me at least, they evoke the spirit of a summery feeling.
"Summer Breeze" - Seals & Croft "Dock of the Bay" - Otis Redding "Margaritaville" - Jimmy Buffett "Under the Boardwalk" - The Drifters "Listen to the Music" - Doobie Bros. "Ramblin' Man" - Allman Bros.
