We totally should have included Summer Girl, by LFO.

Lindsey Slater 3 years, 11 months ago

I second that. The NewsCenter debate on what to include was...heated, if you will.

Summertime -- Billy Stewart (Stuck on You)

California Girls -- Beach Boys

David Lignell 3 years, 11 months ago

How about, "I'm too d*mn hot so don't you dare sing to me or I'm gonna run you over with my 16 wheeler." It's a country song, I think.

Dover 3 years, 11 months ago

"summertime" will smith or "burning ring of fire" although that's not really summer related.

Aileen Dingus 3 years, 11 months ago

Definitely "Smooth" Man, it's a hot one Like seven inches from the midday sun Well, I hear you whispering the words, to melt everyone But you stay so cool

Definitely "Fever" Now you've listened to my story, Here's the point that I have made Chicks were born to give you fever Be it farenheit or centigrade They give you fever When you kiss them Fever if you live, you learn Fever, till you sizzle What a lovely way to burn

Too Darn Hot by Cole Porter

MeAndFannieLou 3 years, 11 months ago

"The heat is on" by Glenn Fry

Leslie Swearingen 3 years, 11 months ago

Roe, I had no idea that was Meatloaf that was sang that song. I thought it was Pete Seger. Did he cover it? I vote for Paradise as the best and most meaningful song. Listen and learn. Hopefully before you do it.

Hot Blooded by Foreigner. he says the phrase "hot blooded" a near infinite number of times. also I'm not sure how many other people have used Rendevouz so successfully as a rhyming word.

Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime by amimedia

MeAndFannieLou 3 years, 11 months ago

Danc -ing may do this and that, And help you take off lots of fat But I'm no friend of danc -ing when it's hot! So if you are a danc -ing fool, Who loves to dance but can't keep cool Bear in mind the i -dea that I've got.

Chorus: When it gets too hot for com -fort, And you can't get ice -cream cones, 'Tain't No Sin, to take off your skin, and dance a -round in your bones. When the laz -y syn -co -pa -tion of the mus -ic soft -ly moans, 'Tain't No Sin, to take off your skin, and dance a -round in your bones. The Pol -ar Bears are -n't green up in Green -land, They've got the right i -dea. They think it's great to re -frig -er -ate while we all cre -mate down here. Just be like those Bam -boo Ba -bies, In the South Sea trop -ic zones, 'Tain't No Sin to take off your skin, And dance a -round in your bones.

Words by Walter Donaldson, Music by Edgar Leslie - 1929

I think "The Heat is On" performed by Will Ferrell as Glen Fry should have been represented.

"Ooh Boys (It's Hot)" Ozark Mountain Daredevils "Those scorchin' days of summer are here, when the sun will shine more likely than not. Gonna lay here in the shade and drink another ice-cold beer. Ooh Boys it's hot."

You took the words right out of my mouth - Meatloaf

Boy: on a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

Girl: will he offer me his mouth?

Boy: yes

Girl: will he offer me his teeth?

Boy: yes

Girl: will he offer me his jaws?

Boy: yes

Girl: will he offer me his hunger?

Boy: yes

Girl: again, will he offer me his hunger?

Boy: yes!

Girl: and will he starve without me?

Boy: yes!

Girl: and does he love me?

Boy: yes

Girl: yes

Boy: on a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

Girl: yes

Boy: i bet you to say that to all the boys.

It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning There was fog crawling over the sand When i listened to your heart i hear the whole world turning I see the shooting stars Falling through your trembling hands

You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining I was dying just to ask for a taste We were lying together in a silver lining By the light of the moon You know there's not another moment Not another moment Not another moment to waste

When you hold me so close that my knees grow weak And my soul is flying high above the ground I'm trying to speak but no matter what i do I just can't seem to make any sound

And then you took the words right out of my mouth Oh it must have been while you were kissing me You took the words right out of my mouth And i swear it's true I was just about to say i love you

Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water And i guess that i'm beginning to grin Oooh, we're finally alone and we can do what we want to The night is young And ain't no one gonna know where you No one gonna know where you No one's gonna know where you've been

And then you took the words right out of my mouth Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
