july summer mix by allison

how fun is this?

1. summer lovin' - grease soundtrack
um this isn't the track i used for my "summer" rule. but i LOVE this song and this movie so much and just takes me away to summer. and how fun is it to sing to?

2. dumpweed - blink 182
i will most likely have blink 182 on all of my mixes as well. it was actually really hard to pick just one summer song from them. they are and will always be one of my favs - even if they did sell out a little. this song reminds me of my summer whilst living in LA. enema of the state never got turned off that year.

3. heaven - dj sammy & yanou
summer 2002. summer camp counselor. everywhere we went in NYC or any local scary new jersey bar this song was bumpin. always takes me back

4. doin' time - sublime
sublime = summer to me. and the lyrics in this one is about summer, so how perfect.

5. under the boardwalk - the drifters
i wanted to do the OG on this one, although bette middler does an amazing cover. just love this song. reminds me of the beach, sand, ocean, makin love...

6. island in the sun - weezer
so this song first came to light to me whilst i was watching an olsen twin movie when they go to the bahamas. ever since then i have loved this song (although i do love weezer anyway) and must go to that bahama resort before i die.

7. dancin in the moonlight - toploader
just love this song. i think of a big party on the beach with a bonfire and everyone has drinks dancing along to this song. feels like summer nights for me.

8. cry me a river - justin timberlake
summer while i was in college. this album was all we listened to. however, as i was thinking about it, it might have been wintery...

9. king creole (viva elvis) - elvis remastered
so cirque du solieli has a production going on in vegas right now called viva elvis. and for those of you who know me, you know that i love elvis. and elvis remastered is like having an elvisgasm :) i chose this song because it makes me think of a sweaty, hot, drunk, hole in the wall place in louisiana where people are just dancing and loving life.

10. boys of summer - don henley
again, not my "summer" rule choice. but i love me some eagles and don henley. and i love this song. best description of a hot woman in a song ever. i have grown up listening to this song wanting to be that girl with her hair slicked back and sunglasses on...

11. fire burning - sean kingston
in light of my recent situation. thought i would put a great club pounding track down.

12. summer rain - carl thomas
my summer rule track. first track i thought of when nicki mentioned this theme. OMG. if you hate it i understand. but everytime i hear it i go straight to the dance studio in my head and just remember what it felt like to be sweating and in dance clothes and what my body felt like whilst dancing to this song. literally one of my favorite songs. and who wouldn't want to dance in summer rain?

13. BONUS killing me softly - the fugees
oh dear how this entire cd got worn out in my car during highschool. LOVE this track. love layrn hill. love wyclef. love nas. i think on one of the other tracks (ready or not) my friends and i almost got homicidal on a boy because of that song.
