Late Night Music Part 10.........Summer Time!
It's about that time this year. The dog days of summer. Waiting for football season, no school, hot temperatures, vacations, and sunglasses. Or, if you're around me.......CAMP! Anyway, I thought we should celebrate the songs of summer that were found on youtube tonight as LNM enters entry #10. Also receiving votes in this category were "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock, "The Summer Sends Its Love To You" by Sherwood, and Aerosmith "Girls of Summer".
Don Henley- "Boys of Summer". This Don Henley song performed with the Eagles here is a good reminiscent song about summer pasts. Who in the heck is that guy playing the drums? I always love when the drummer of a band takes the lead singer mic and some poor guy is stuck back there behind the drum set. Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE Eagles fan- I mean HUGE, but from the looks of this 2004 video, does anyone else seem to think they need to just keep it in the studio and not on the stage?

Bryan Adams- "Summer of 69". Interesting fact- Bryan Adams was 9 years old in the summer of 69. It's kinda fun to listen to this song and picture a 9 year old doing all the stuff he sings about in this song. Oh, those funny Canadians.

Grease- "Summer Nights". Confession- this is the ONE karaoke song I have never done that I DESPERATELY want to do! (Inferred request for karaoke partner for this song). Anyway, I get cracked up watching this because it was before John Travolta turned into a fat slob, and Olivia Newton-John is even more sexy now! Talk about two different directions! I always enjoy musical scenes like this because all the tough guys start singing and dancing.

The Party- "Summer Vacation". Ok, this group is one of my ALL TIME guilty pleasures (see the original Late Night Music Post). These former MMC cast members actually tried to be cool in this song. Did anyone ever do any of this stuff?

The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff- "Summertime". The original summer time hit. How many times did you blare this song on your tape deck? Will Smith just drips with cool, man I love this song. However, again, why did every rap/r & b video of the 90's have little kids running around? Seriously, I laugh at it, but it's almost feeding a negative stereotype.

New Kids on the Block- "Summer Time". Or, as my mom so lovingly calls, "The New Geriatrics on the Block". You gotta give these guys credit for coming back while really really risking serious embarassment. I still kinda feel bad for these guys for not coming about about 3 years later. This is a catchy song though, and they still sing pretty good. Good one to drive to work in the summer listening to.

The Beach Boys- "All Summer Long". Kind of a forgotten hit by the original summer time group. No list of summer music is complete without inclusion of the Beach Boys. Great song right here- thanks for reading everyone, have a great summer!
