Summer is in full swing and that can mean only one thing—long balmy days jamming with friends and family in your favourite summer spot.

All Summer Long
Kid Rock

Sing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long with Kid Rock. Preferably by a lake. Wearing a backwards baseball cap.

Sunny Afternoon
The Kinks

Laze on a sunny afternoon with one of the most influential rock bands of the 60s. This satirical hit beat even The Beatles to the top of the charts in 1966.

Summer Holiday
Cliff Richard

🎶 We're all going on a summer holiday… 🎶

Lyrics sung by every single person on their way to each holiday in their life. Ever.

If you're like us and shamefully only know the chorus, it's time to give Sir Cliff the props he deserves for this epic tune.

Lovely Day
Bill Withers

The sun is shining, you're with your favourite people, and you know it's going to be alright. Make it even more special with this song from Bill Withers.

The question is, can you hold that infamous note till the end?

Summertime
George Gershwin

Described as one of the finest songs Gershwin ever wrote, this jazz classic makes summertime living that much easier.

Live it. Breathe it. Play it. Love it.

19 You + Me
Dan + Shay

Serenade your summer sweetheart with this catchy number from country duo Dan + Shay. Just make sure you have a spotlight and a stool on hand.

In Summer (from Frozen: The Broadway Musical)
Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez

If you have kids, nieces, nephews—or were alive in 2012—you'll know of the Disney bestseller, Frozen, which was most recently adapted as a Broadway musical.

You might already know the hit song, "Let It Go," but do you know this little gem from Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez?
