Summer Songs

One of my first years in college, my good friend Ali introduced me to the idea of a summer song.  It is a theme song for the summer, for days when you just have to drive with your windows rolled down and sing at the top of your lungs. 

Here is my top ten list of great summer songs.  These aren't in any particular order...

1) Bruises - Chairlift.  This is the one that started it all!  Ali introduced me to this song that first summer.  The video is a little weird, but it is a great song!

2) Put Your Records On - Corinne Bailey Rae.  Just a feel-good song.  It totally makes me want to ride my bike.

3) To Be Suprised - Sondre Lerche.  I was first introduced to Sondre by the Dan in Real Life soundtrack, and he is fan-freaking-tastic.  Love it!

4) Get Happy - Judy Garland.  First of all...Judy Garland; need I say more?  This is a classic.

5) 1983 - Neon Trees.  Again, weird video, great song.  And they are a Utah band!

6) Good Life - OneRepublic.  I just herd this one today.  Which gave me the idea for this post :)

7) Fidelity - Regina Spektor.  This is such a great song.  I think there is some rule that the better the song is, the weirder the video is.

8) Hey Soul Sister - Train.  I know, totally over played.  But I still smile every time it comes on! 

9) Stuck Like Glue - Sugarland.  Normally I am not a big country fan, but this song is infectious.  The video is super creepy/funny...

10) Don't Stop Believing.  Totally cheesy, totally great.  I must admit that '80's hair bands are my guilty pleasure. 

What are some of your favorite summer jams?
