Music: Summer List Help (1 Viewer)

Tick

Footballguy
I put together a summer music list for the family every summer. Help me find a few more songs to round out this year's list.

I'll post the past three years' lists for reference to see what kinds of music I'm looking for. We end up playing this all summer along with all the visiting cousins, so I keep it clean, both in language and in blatant content. For the most part, I'm looking for music from the last 5 years. Nothing too heavy, very little country.

Yeah, looking at your list, I like guitars a lor more than you.

And even when we like the same artists, it's different songs i.e. I think Blank Space is about the 10th best song on 1989

 
Damned YouTube is playing a Poltergeist ad before every video... that movie wrecked me the first time around.

Good call - these definitely fit in, and I ended up on some Earmilk pages with a boatload of other interesting stuff.
Glad you liked some of it... Here is my spotify "family" mix. Mostly upbeat songs - some crap my daughters like some older songs, so take what you like.

Good bands, but generally don't fit the laid-back family summer playlist. All have songs on a big list I play sometimes in the winter with the kids in the car, but I go lighter in the summer list.

I got Royal Blood about a week ago, wow! I'll certainly be listening to that all summer, but not on the kid's list most likely.

 
Didn't see this on a search of the thread.

Paramore - Ain't It Fun

Lyrics appear to be clean...

I don't mind
Letting you down easy but just give it time
If it don't hurt now, but just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feeding on

So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you

Ain't it fun
Living in the real world
Ain't it good
Being all alone

Where you're from
You might be the one who's running things
Well you can ring anybody's bell and get what you want
See it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're living in a bubble

So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you

Ain't it fun
Living in the real world
Ain't it good
Being all alone
Ain't it good to be on your own
Ain't it fun, you can't count on no one
Ain't it good to be on your own
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world

Ain't it fun, ain't it fun
Baby now you're one of us
Ain't it fun, ain't it fun, ain't it fun

Ain't it fun
Living in the real world
Ain't it good, ain't it good
Being all alone
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world
('Cause the world don't orbit around you)
Ain't it good, ain't it good
Being all alone

Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, this is the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world (This is the real world, this is the real world)
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
Don't go crying

 
Your list trends a bit more contemporary, but if you want to stretch back to the 60s...

Chad & Jeremy - A Summer Song
