Best Summer Song? (1 Viewer)

[Optimus Prime]

What do you think the best song about summer is?

I'm going to go with Will Smith's Summertime.

I've always loved it and it's timeless and nostalgic at the same time.

When I listen to it with my eyes closed I picture it all playing out. But I can see it playing out in Summer 1972, 1982 and 1992.

This was going to be my anwer.

Optimus, I know you are a hiphop purist but do you know who (is rumored to have)wrote the lyrics for Summertime? If you listen to the song, you can almost here this MC's voice as Summertime shares a lot of the same rhythms employed by him in his own releases.
