Big Natural’s Definitive Summer Playlist

Share This Post

Ladies and gentlemen, I think it’s safe to say that the summer is officially HERE! And, since our responsibilities as journalists include equipping you with everything you need to mentally get through your day (I think that’s in the journalists 101 handbook as Rule 4.12), your boy decided to throw together some of his favorite summertime songs.

I put together one WHALE of a playlist on Spotify, with 60….count ’em, 60…..of my favorite summer time songs. So, if this 10 isn’t enough, head on over there to check it out.

10. Looking Glass – “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” – You know the scene in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 when they’re through the countryside with the top down blaring this tune? Yeah. That’s it. That’s all you need to hear.

9. The Mamas & The Papas – “California Dreamin'” – No clue how this ended up here. I think I burned it on a summer mixtape back in the day. Will that suffice as analysis?

8. Guns n’ Roses – “Paradise City” – I’m fairly positive they wrote this song about Nashville…

7. LMFAO – “Party Rock Anthem” – I burned up so many dance floors to this track during the summer of 2011.

6. Dobie Gray – “Drift Away” – Perhaps the most relaxing song in history. Put this one on when you just need to sit back and….wait for it….drift away

5. The Doors – “Light My Fire” – Can’t tell you how many bonfires I sat around listening to The Doors in the summer time. No clue how that happened. It just did – and now, I’ll always associate this song with the summer.

4. Bananarama – “Cruel Summer” – It’s a personal rule of mine: cannot listen to this song without sunglasses on.

3. Dire Straits – “Walk of Life” – Something about this song reminds me of early summer and those red, white, and blue drape-ish flags people hang from their front porches.

2. Smash Mouth – “All Star” – I dare you to listen to this track and try not to sing along. If summer sunshine could be bottled up and put on a record, this is it.

1. The Zombies – “Time of the Season” – My all time favorite summer song. Something about it just screams, “warm breeze, windows down.” I can see the lightning bugs now.

Again, check out the full playlist, SIXTY SONGS DEEP, on Spotify. Enjoy.
