CHR Songs of Summer

[Ziggy1987]

I'm putting together a list of possible pop songs about summer for Memorial Day on a Mainstrem CHR. Any thoughts?

 

[JeremyAndrews]

LFO - Summer GirlsDJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - SummertimeSeals & Crofts - Summer BreezeDon Henley or Ataris or DJ Sammy - Boys Of SummerBeach Boys or David Lee Roth - California GirlsJohn Travolta/Olivia Newton-John - Summer NightsBananarama - Cruel SummerLil' Rob - Summer Nightsany of these could fit if you're doing it as a special. I've heard my local CHR play them on their Memorial Day Summer special.

Don't forget:Alice Cooper - School's Out For SummerBeach Boys - All Summer LongAerosmith - Girls of SummerSly and the Family Stone - Hot Fun in the SummertimeThe Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the CityOkay, so maybe not all of those would work on a CHR... but it'd sure be fun to try!

Some of that list may be way to Rhythmic for your station, but they're ideas. Really, pretty much anything upbeat and "fun" can work for a holiday weekend.

I didn't suggest the songs you did because any station I program would already be playing them ;-)
