Schmaltzy, yes! You are right about the Beach Boys. We couldn’t have summer without them.

Might you go back a month or two before “Dancing in the Street” (1964), and revisit The Drifters’ “Under the Boardwalk” (also 1964). If anyone can listen to the first chorus and not grin a goofy grin, I’ll buy the next round. R&B chillin’ of the first water. Really.

Thanks for these, they help with the adjustment to the Texas heat after the cool rain of Ireland. Also thanks for reminding me of that great line in Don Henley’s song/video: deadhead sticker on a cadillac.

I would add Tom Waits Looking for the Heart of Saturday Night except that I don’t think it actually mentions the season, just seems to capture it.
