Happy Hump Day! From now until July 11th, I’m taking over for Don Durito, spinning tunes and serving drinks for everyone’s entertainment.
It’s summer! To celebrate, I’m doing the same thing for this week’s music party that I did in Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 57, share songs that celebrate the season.
I begin a song celebrating the beginning of summer when I was a kid, Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out!”
It should come as no surprise that this song has been used in at least one movie, “Dazed and Confused.” I never get too far from movie music.
Continuing with the 1970s, the next song is “Summer Breeze” by Seals and Crofts.
For the final 1970s song about summer, I’m sharing Mungo Jerry – “In The Summertime” ORIGINAL 1970.
I plan on posting more summer songs in the comments.
Once again, I’m concluding the diary proper by quoting Don Durito.
For those of you wondering how I and Neon Vincent are circumventing Sucuri to embed videos, here is an example of the embed code we use, so that you can replicate as wanted:
Just remember that each unique 11-digit video code in YouTube needs to be pasted in two separate locations within the embed code in order for your video to show up properly. So easy that I can do it!
With those instructions, feel free to post your favorite music videos in the comments.
To celebrate summer, I’m serving Summer Ice Cream Party – Tipsy Bartender.
I plan on posting more summer drinks from Tipsy Bartender. In the meantime, the bartender is taking requests.
Today’s summer drink is Summer Sangria.
Today’s summer drink from Tipsy Bartender is Summer Beer.
Time to move on from the 1970s to the 1980s. How about songs sung by women? I begin with Bananarama – Cruel Summer from 1984.
The next 1980s summer song sung by a women is Suddenly Last Summer by The Motels.
Tomorrow I’ll have summer songs from the 1990s.
The first summer song from the 1990s I’m posting today is DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince – Summertime from 1991.
The last 1990s summer song I am posting today is Summer Girls by LFO from 1999.
I plan on posting summer songs from the 2000s tomorrow.
Got a spare moment, so I thought I’d kick it old school:
Speaking of which, I promised a summer song from this century today. I’m going to use your song as inspiration for today’s selection, Darci Lynne and her dummy Petunia singing “Summertime” on America’s Got Talent.
That should do it for Volume 71 unless a fourth person recommends this diary and moves it onto the rec list again. Next Monday is Independence Day, so expect songs about the 4th of July.
