Cruel Summer by Bananarama
Chosen by Roman Hernandez and Trung Hua
Roman Hernandez: It’s a cruel summer.

All Day Music by War
Chosen by Vita McCoy
It’s the essence of a relaxing summer day…all laid back. 🙂
Danza Kuduro by Don Omar
Chosen by Pauline Knox
Fond memories of happy times in my house with my boys playing The Fast and The Furious video game. This song always puts me in a great mood. Although I don’t understand all the words, I love the beat and associates it with the games and movies. I just love it! 😀
Feels Like Summer by Vince Staples
Chosen by Matt Sylvester
This summer jam was part of a concept album from Vince and Big Boy, a famous L.A. radio host. It reminds me of driving down PCH carefree hanging with my buds.
Party Hard by Andrew W.K.
Chosen by John Clayton King
This song makes me happy and sort of fits the theme.
School's Out by Alice Cooper
Chosen by Joe Luzzi
Alice Cooper is a legend! I remember this in elementary school as we hit summer. It has been a classic ever since :-).
Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks
Chosen by Ryder Smith
The Kinks are great band rated as high as the Beatles. This song is both iconic and relevant now, 54 years later.
Innerbloom by RÃœFÃœS DU SOL
Chosen by Mike Panah
It was the last concert that I attended before COVID.
Doin’ Time (Summertime) by Sublime
Chosen by Vince Hernandez
It is a mellow and totally awesome summertime song!
