While your summer mix may appear to be the bomb diggity, it's a fact that mine is the Ultimate Summer Mix. It says so right on the CD. Because I wrote it on there.
I think the best summer mixes aren't timeless at all, but littered with one hit wonders that date it immediately. Much like summer loves, you should have fond memories of the fun you had for those few months, but it doesn't really translate past August (in this case, 2008). I did include some songs that have excellent connotations from other times for me, but those count as happy songs that are perfect for singing along in the car.
1. Steal My Sunshine- Len
2. Shake It- Metro Station
3. Superstar (ft. Matthew Santos)- Lupe Fiasco
4. Piece of Me- Britney Spears
5. Tune Out- The Format
6. Free at Last- G Love
7. Leavin'- Jesse McCartney
8. Ooh La La- Goldfrapp
9. C'Mon Baby- Wakefield
10. Walk Away- Kelly Clarkson
11. Smile- Lilly Allen
12. My Love- Justin Timberlake
13. Work That- Mary J. Blige
14. Pocketful of Sunshine- Natasha Bedingfield
15. Bicycle Race- Queen
16. Steve McQueen- Sheryl Crow
17. 4 Minutes (ft. Justin Timberlake)- Madonna
18. Bleeding Love (KlubKidz Radio Edit)- Leona Lewis
19. Valerie (techno remix)- Steve Winwood
20. Birthday Girl (ft. Patrick Stump)- The Roots
Conclusion: perfect for blasting from the car, jumping around with friends, and kickin' it in the baby pool in the backyard. Holler! Happy summer 2008.
