summertime

one morning last week, after a fitfull night, i woke up with ella fitzgerald's "it's too darn hot" going around in my head. i decided to make a summer play list.
i omitted a lot of the cliched summer favourites, for example, schools out for summer -over played, and, not that good, but left in a few that were obvious. Lovin' spoonful? how could i not? some of these you won't have heard of (mad dogs and englishmen). some of them aren't even about really about summer (bob dylan - summer days) it's not necessarily in the order i would have chosen but i got tired of dicking around because it kept switching up on me. one very important song is missing from the list. popsicle by the talking heads but i couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. oh well. here you go.
feedback appreciated.
