Hopefully one of my colleagues won't nuke me...but the last post in this thread was less than a year ago....
Happy First Day of Summer!
Alas, the YouTube links in the previous posts have the old software's tags on them...I edited them out for my own posts.

This years summer anthem?
The Witty One, The Cute One, The Quiet One, and The Funny One might have something to say about that.
Anyroad, it's a new Summer and I just heard it on the radio earlier, so here's the studio version:
Yeah, they might agree with me! Beatles live performing is fun to watch but compared to a high-energy mixed-race, mixed-gender seven-piece with a horn section, trading vocals and ad libs, I mean, really?
But since last summer, probably the coolest trumpet player in rock and roll history, Cynthia Robinson, has died. Rest in soul power!
Since last summer, I discovered that these one-hit wonders hailed from my birthplace!
This isn't as literally summer as some of these songs but it sure sounded good blasting out of my car with the windows down after a long day at work.
This came on the other day and seemed pretty summery.

As HUGE a Beatles fan as I was and am, I'm going to agree with you here. The Fab 4 were unquestionably the greatest band of the rock era, but their onstage performance consisted almost exclusively of smiles and occasional head shaking. Now, off stage they were incredibly personable and funny, but onstage, compared to an act like Sly, the Beatles were kinda dull.Yeah, they might agree with me!

I saw Sly once many years ago and the show was electric. Sly and his brother were all over the stage. It was wild, especially so back in the 70's. All one has to do really, is watch some Youtube of this band. Not only were they setting standards musically, they were also doing it wiht their performances.
Didn't know this and I am really sorry to hear it.
Good one. And it was covered by the Ramones, which reminds me of this summer song:
Monsieur gblews, I envy you.

Not the Beach Boys, but an Incredibly Derivative Simulation:
A project of the Wilsons' father after they fired him. This one didn't reach the Top 40 in its time, but somebody at SiriusXM seems to like it.

By the time they were famous, they couldn't even hear themselves play, so they'd run through their set list in double time to get out of there. But from the things I've read, the Beatles in Hamburg would have been something to see.
Oh yeah. John was fond of Hitler impersonations and wearing a toilet seat.
