Songs for Your Summer Soundtrack

What is better than a long summer day spent soaking up the sun while listening to your favorite tunes? With the official start of summer just days away, Ditmas Park Patch thought it best to list some of the best songs to go with the warm weather.

A Classic

Hot Fun in the Summertime by Sly and the Family Stone (1969)

The name says it all. Over 40 years old but still a crowd favorite, who doesn't enjoy this song?

You can't escape it

Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye feat. Kimbra (2011)

Chances are if you've listened to the radio, you know this song. It's stuck in my head, it's stuck in your head and it's not going anywhere anytime soon, so why not embrace it? 

A Party Favorite

Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams (1984)

You cannot go wrong with putting this song on a playlist. Give it five seconds of airtime and you're bound to have an entire party sing-a-long.
