This year's perfect summer song was Panic at the Disco's “When the Day Met the Night” but was sadly overlooked by almost everyone and seemed to get lost among the other filigree on their album. Too bad.

That "I kissed a girl" song is boring, repetitive, and the lyrics are inane if not insidious. As a lesbian I sincerely hate that song, but I can't deny its ubiquitous and everyone else seems to love it.

"pour some sugar on me"
def leopard

omg

always loved "Spill The Wine" Eric Burdon and War. All tracks on War's Greatest Hits still
hold up great as Summer Songs, which is somewhat odd being that they are LA and I am NYC

Doesn't anyone else think Craig Finn of the Hold Steady sounds like RANDY NEWMAN? Bruce Springsteen??? Please! Bruce should be offended. RANDY NEWMAN! THE HOLD STEADY!! Come on!

Summertime

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

It's 2008!! You have to do categories! Call this "Pop Rock" summer song or something.
Taste is too diverse!!
That lollipop one is total crap on toast.
My category would be "anything I DON'T hear booming from cars in my neighborhood"
That's my summer music.

Wow these new songs are terrible. I'd rather listen to some old Red Hot Chili Peppers.

if it ain't played on KTU, it ain't a summer anthem.

Poison

Bel Biv Devoe

C'mon!
It's obviously "So Hot" by Korean girl group Wondergirls! Funny, fun, cute, and NOT so earnest! Enjoy the video on Youtube.

teenage riot! sonic youth!

I tried to vote for Natasha Beddingfield's Pocketful of Sunshine (no luck) - both for it's catchy "Take Me Away" anthem, and the clever music/folder marketing in EW.

any song off stay positive. it embodies the summer-- it's sexy and honest and raw. if you don't believe me-- see the hold steady live, tell me you don't leave sweating.

why have you split up estelle and kanye west???? its the same song

A copy of Girl Talk's Feed the Animals has been glued into all of my CD players this summer. What are all these other songs, now...?

For those trying to add a song, use your Firefox browser - worked like a charm.

I vote for the whole MGMT record.

What about Brandy Carlisle - The Story?

Camilla/Todo Cambio is all I know about an absolutely transporting piece of music, that seemed to be about unrequited love, that I happened upon surfing TV one Saturday. Ironically, my vote seems to be suffering the same fate. Like anon4utu, I have to request the vote to be recorded thru this email.
PEACE

And Jack Knife by Nim Vind!

The songs of the summer 2008 should be Killer Creature Double Feature and The Fashion of Fear by Nim Vind.

Viva la Vida. Coldplay is in great form with this song. They owe a bit to Apple though for using it in their iPod commercial.

no santogold? no mgmt?

Love Song by Sara Bareilles is the summer song but the highlighted box did not save.

None of the above... My best song of the summer is "The Next Best Western" by Lucy Wainwright Roche! Yes, I know it's a cover, but I like her version better (although the original ain't bad, either!).

I tried to vote for Little Jackie, "Liked You Better Before," but the highlight box wouldn't take the vote. So please record the vote through this email. Thanks. (Brian and Leonard Rock!)
