So it's summer over there, isn't it? Well, over most of you there, I know there's some of us like me who live in the opposite hemisphere. A little sun would be nice here, but anyways I'm not very fond of summer and heat. It's gross, basically: you sweat, you get sunburn, and there's a shitload of people in the streets just hanging around. But music people love summer, so here are some songs about summer, and you can share your favorites in the comments, as usual.

What if we close with some summer romance cheese, courtesy of a corny musical?
