Five I love (Sly, Fresh Prince, Mungo Jerry, Eddie Cochran, Animal Collective), one I don't care for in any version (Gershwin), a few I don't know. If I had to pick one, Sly.

My mum used to sing the Gershwin one to me when I was a kid so I have a lot of affection for it. On the other hand, if I was to choose one to play right now it would almost certainly be 'Summertime Clothes'.

Actually 'once upon a summertime' is really popular (sort of) at least in jazz circles. It has been covered by Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Betty Carter, Oscar Peterson, Astrud Gilberto, Innocence Mission, Scott Walker, Tony Bennet, Anita O day....

― Moka, Monday, 3 June 2013 05:18 (eleven years ago)

I like "Oslo in the summertime." I dunno why I didn't include it. And I've never heard a few of the songs in the poll options.. It was mostly the stuff that came up on spotify.

Simple Minds - Someone Somewhere In Summertime

― dschinghis kraan (NickB), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 12:45 (eleven years ago)

Hadn't seen that Simple Minds clip before. That's not really my favourite era, but they sound amazing on that.

― dschinghis kraan (NickB), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 12:50 (eleven years ago)

Summertime Rolls is so massive.

I happen to have just got the 2CD Deluxe Edition of Diana; the last track on CD 2 is an unreleased thing called 'Sweet Summertime Livin'' and it is totally amazing.
