Destined for those “top-down 70-and-sunny days” as well as the outdoor night parties, where grooving on the patio is second nature.
1. Sweet Honey – Slightly Stoopid
A fast-paced, catchy tune by this unique reggae-rock band. The two lead singers, one a fast-paced rapper and the other a harmonizer, complement each other perfectly. A song meant to be enjoyed on the waterfront.
2. Slow Down – Ciaran Carson
It is hard NOT to bump to this song while cruisin’ down the streets of Wepo. This is an absolute street banger, and the bass should get the boys bouncin’ to this one.
3. Escape – Rupert Holmes
“If you like Pina Colada’s, and getting caught in the rain…” Yes, that song.
4. Mr. Blue Sky – Electric Light Orchestra
A song for the sun. Nothing more, nothing less.
5. Sun is Shining – Bob Marley
Bob allows you to kick the legs up when “The weather is sweet, yeh.”
6. Sweet Nothing – Calvin Harris ft. Florence Welch
I couldn’t leave this sing-along out; it’s going to be one of the top 2013 summer jams.
7. Lovely Day – Bill Withers
The right song for the perfect sunny day, a great day-starter when the birds start chirping and the lawn mowers are your morning alarm.
8. Holes to Heaven – Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson is the grandfather of surfing music, and his voice nostalgically reminds me of the beach and the sun, as I write this in the bitter cold month of April.
9. Party in the U.S.A. – Miley Cyrus
This #1 hit from 2009 deserves a revival three years later. It’s still as catchy as ever, and when school is out ,this should be the celebratory anthem.
10. Margaritaville – Jimmy Buffett
This song goes hand in hand with a nice cool beverage in the summer sun. The sound is unique:ww a country voice to a Hawaiian-vibe hymn. It’s a hard ten.
