Or anywhere else.
In the shop today they were playing Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, where the two people in it are bursting with the energy of life and want to escape into the wider world. It seems a fitting song as the seasons change and things bloom and life comes, and I was thinking that Christmas brings the Pogues Fairytale of New York out of hibernation for it's yearly and obligatory airing, but, as the world warms up, are there specific songs that seem to be required playing at this time of year? The Lovin' Spoonful's Summer in the City is one I sometimes like to hear. I hope this post makes sense.

helrunar we can be like the couple in Born to Run. I'll be your Wendy and we can drive off into the sunset on your motorbike, or, as you are a witch, your broomstick even.

That's a nice song Dr Strange. I hadn't heard it before. I realise the thread intro is badly worded, but I'm lazy and, after one failed attempt which made it worse, I can't be bothered to change it. As I seem to have no idea what I was trying to say in it, please list your favourite summer songs here. Don't be shy about posting if you are new and lurk. It's a happy community here, even if they keep me locked up in a tower, with only a mirror and my own extraordinarly beautiful reflection for company. Which I don't mind.

How's about a catchy East German summer song? You never actually said the songs had to be in English. I actually watched all of Heisser Sommer (Hot Summer in case you hadn't guessed) last fall; found it on Arch*ve (in original German but subtitles available from Open Subtitles). Unless of course your German is much much better than mine.
Can I get expelled from the Vault for this?

Me with helrunar, or is it Doctor Strange? I don't care, as long as he wears a smoking jacket and looks a bit like Jon Pertwee, and we are heading toward the blue horizon and whatever is beyond it. Let's skip the road, I can dare myself... Edited to say I don't even care if it is Swampirella (though she might).

Since I in no way resemble this Jon Pertwee nor do I own a smoking jacket or motorbike, we're both off the hook on that score.

Now I want to watch too. But I've forgotten the little bits of German I knew, so it is subtitles too I'm afraid. Does it work ok with them?

Isn't that a wonderful photo of Jon Pertwee. He is so happy. But then he has got a beautiful girl seated behind him.

But I downloaded the movie onto my pc, then added the subtitles in VLC media player. Thankfully it lets you machine translate it to English or other languages; they worked well & weren't gobbledygook unlike some Youtube automatic subtitles.

Should we start a thread about Communist music? Is there a one? I know nothing about it. It would be interesting to discover more wouldn't it. Did they copy the West? Did they have things like Progressive Rock?
