Cue the first 10 seconds of this song, and we, too, are walking on sunshine! There's just something so giddy about this song by Katrina & The Waves that we can't help but move a little every time it plays!

Seals & Crofts created an ever-nostalgic tune with "Summer Breeze." Put it on, and you'll instantly be transported back to the '70s, whether you were around then or not.

Does it get any more summery than this? Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta sing one of the most memorable duets from the movie Grease, and it's been a summer anthem since it came out.

Mentions of the Fourth of July, strolls in the park, and a general smile on people's face—we're feeling like it's summer just after one listen to this song by Chicago!

Things are simply just more fun in the sun! We don't make the rules... Blondie does!

"Summer of '69" has us reminiscing on all the fun we had in past summers. Well, here's to making all the future ones just as good!

You know what they say: Time flies, especially when you're having fun! "Suddenly Last Summer" reminds us that the season leaves as fast as it arrives.

Another song about the nostalgia of summer memories... who would've guessed! This time, however—the Don Henley classic focuses more on aging, using summer as a metaphor for youth.

If there's a time to reset, it's summer! The Go-Go's let us know that if there's something (or someone) we're trying to forget, summer is the perfect season for it.

Jonathan Richman reimagines what summer means with his melancholy tune.

"Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright." If summer could be summed up in one line, it's that!

The lyrics don't really have to make sense when you're a summer hit like this! We're sure people had questions in 1978, but they still danced away, charting this song on Billboard's Hot 1oo.

Heartbreak in the summertime is a "cruel" feeling, as Bananarama puts it. Here's to hoping that none of us have to experience what that means! 😅

Don't be confused, "California Girls" was a summertime classic way before the Katy Perry song! Put this on, and we can promise that you'll be singing along almost right away.

We're ready for all of the lovely days summer will bring. We'll be grooving to this Bill Withers song all season long.

Frank Sinatra singing about anything summer related is all we need to get ready for the sunny season.

"Dancing days are here again, as the summer evenings grow." That line alone explains our feelings as summer creeps its way closer!

Don't mind our shoulder, it just kinda does *that* every time this song by The Ramones comes on.

This list would not have been complete without "Good Times" by Chic! It's a classic that still gets played at all the summer barbecues!

Louis Armstrong on the trumpet and Ella Fitzgerald's vocals are all we need to ensure ourselves that miracles do exist.
