If memory serves me correct, summer usually arrives around these parts in June. This year, it came in August. Better late than never, I suppose.
Here are some songs to help you celebrate the arrival of summer. These are "summer" songs in my collection. That means the word "summer" has to appear in the title. Help me flesh out our summertime playlist with summer songs I've missed by leaving them in the comments.
