Summer Time by Will Smith, it's a summer time classic.  Oh, and that one summer song by Sugar Ray, can't remember the name, but a lot of their music fits the bill.

some suggestions

*do the whirlwind -- architecture in helsinki. it's very cute & dancey, well at least i feel like dancing when i hear it. i was listening to it on repeat yesterday.

*knock 'em out -- lily allen. she's this british chick. i think her dad is famous or something like that. anyway a lot of her songs are very fun & upbeat. she doesn't actually have a good singing voice, but her songs aren't really traditional in terms of lyrics and kind of irreverent so it works.  other recs are smile (n/s if it fits the bill for summer music but it is a good break up song) and LDN

*promiscuous girl -- nelly furtado. i'm n/s if i actually *like* this song, or it's just grown on me after seeing the verizon commercial a zillion times

*oh my gosh  and/or romeo -- basement jaxx

*if it's loving that you want -- rhianna. this is not her newest song, but it is my personal preference. very summery & cutesy, and i have a soft spot for teeny-bopper r&b

*the heat -- toni braxton. kind of old but a good summer song

*the tide is high -- blondie

*a message to you rudy -- the specials

*burning down the house -- tom jones & the cardigans

*girls dem sugar -- beenie man & mya

Great reccs, thanks everyone! I'm loving the Rihanna stuff.

Any more ideas?
