Could not have planned a better shuffle.

how about a last chance for good luck
6) Never Dreamed You Would Leave in Summer – Stevie !!!!!!!!!

I got 72 hits on the “summer” search.

1. The Time / My summertime thang (1990, from “Pandemonium”) — Okay, this starts me off on the right foot.

2. Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks / Summer in Monterey (1995, from “Orange Crate Art”) — Now it’s really feeling like summer. Wilson harmonies as good as they get.

3. Decemberists / Summersong (2006, from “The Crane Wife”) — Not bad. The melody sounds like they borrowed a tad too much from Oasis, though. Also, the drummer sounds exactly like Ringo.

4. Paul Simon / Satin summer nights (1997, from “Songs from ‘The Capeman’”) Paul wrote some great songs for his disaster flop musical, including this New York street doo-wop treat. Especially since lead vocals were handled here by cast member Marc Anthony (yes, that Marc Anthony).

5. David Sancious and Tone / Summertime harmonies (1976, WLIR broadcast from My Father’s Place, Roslyn NY) Wee-hah! Ending up with with some fine jazz from the former E Streeter. Summer has begun.

And My favorite hot, summer, southwest hell song is “Doin’ Time” Sublime

1. “Boys of Summer” by Don Henley, Geffen single 29141, 1984. Great single, better than I thought Henley ever could record. Still great!

2. “Feels Like Summer” by Al Green from “The Belle Album,” 1977. A sweet, slinky album track from a master.

3. “Indian Summer” by the Doors from “Morrison Hotel,” 1970. Moody piece that’s autumnal, which is not exactly what we were looking for here, but hey, “summer” is in the title.

4. “Looking For the Summer” by Chris Rea from “Auberge,” 1991. Is this the second week in a row for Chris? Sometime recently, anyway. Another moody gem.

5. “Summer of ‘71″ by Helen Reddy from “Helen Reddy,” 1971. Okay, a guilty pleasure; memories linger from the song, the sound, the summer.

38 songs come up, though 5 of them are assorted versions of “Girls in Their Summer Clothes” by the Boss, and 4 are “Long Hot Summer” by the Style Council.

1. “Girls in Their Summer Clothes”| Bruce Springsteen | Magic (2007) | Shocker!

2. “White Summer – Black Mountain Side” | Led Zeppelin | Coda (1982) | Cool to hear Jimmy rip it up in this instrumental.

3. “Summer Teeth” | Wilco | Summerteeth (1999) | I got it, Kathy… Great album.

4. “Long Hot Summer” | The Style Council” | Introducing the Style Council (1983) | Cool, laiid back. soulful.

5. “Summer… It’s Gone” | Grandaddy | Just Like the Fambly Cat (2006) | my least listened to (and final) Grandaddy album, but still has its great moments.

1. The Door into Summer by the Monkees, “Aquarius, Pisces and Jones” – one of my many guilty pleasures

2. Indian Summer Sky by U2, “The Unforgettable Fire” – I don’t know what the heck this is about, but I like it a lot. “So wind blow through to my heart/So wind blow through my soul”

3. Summersong by The Decemberists, “The Crane Wife”

4. Girls in Their Summer Clothes by Bruce Springsteen, “Magic” – Oh yeah!

5. Last Day of Summer by Kirsty MacColl, “Titanic Days” – I just got this a couple of days ago and am listening to this song for the first time. I like this better than some of the other songs on the CD I’ve heard so far.

1. Summer by War. Love it!

2. Summer Town by Blitzen Trapper

3. These Long Summer Days by She’s Spanish, I’m American. This was a little side project between Josh Rouse and his Spanish girlfriend.

4. Wait for the Summer by Yeasayer. Great album.

5. One Kiss Don’t Make a Summer by Lucky Soul. My favorite song from that album.
