13 Songs for Summer Solstice

My theme is fun fire/sun songs that make you want to sing along or dance. There is not particular order. Enjoy and Blessed Solstice to you all!

13. Acoustic cover of Prodigy’s Firestarter by Percy Creep
I’ve fallen in love with the Percy Creep videos.

12. I’d Like To Know by Meg Hutchinson
Simply because “I’m quick to love, quicker to tire. I’m looking for a slower burn, a better kind of fire” is a gorgeous lyric…

11. Elvis’ cover of Fever
Because the King does jazz, baby…

10. Solstice Call by Gaia Consort
This is a supremely groovy song to sing along to…

9. Katrina & The Waves – Walking On Sunshine
I’m fairly certain it’s a rule that this song must grace every list about summer music.

8. Sunshine On My Shoulders by John Denver
John is corny, sentimental and I adore everything he’s ever written.

7. Sunny Came Home by Shawn Colvin
Because I remeber listening to this song on the radio as I drove around with all the windows down. Good times.

6. BYOB by System Of A Down
Dancing in the desert. Blowing up the sunshine. Never has such a danceable song been so politics heavy since Rage Against The Machine’s Testify.

5. Noon Of the Solstice by Damh The Bard
I’m very excited to get to see Damh live at PSG. Good stuff!

4. Sunshine Of Your Love by Cream
Guitar Hero? Rock Band? Don’t recall which one features Cream but pretending I’m Eric Clapton makes the whole game worthwhile.

3. Fishin In The Dark by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Don’t sound like a whole lotta fishin is goin on, but this song appeals to my redneck roots.

2. That Summer by Garth Brooks
Possibly one of the sexiest songs ever written.

1. Summer In The City by Lovin Spoonful
Back of my neck may be feeling pretty gritty at PSG, with highs in the 90’s all week long!

So, that’s a lot of country music. Pretty obvious I’m from the South, huh?
