The eighties brought Summer Songs to us via movies (Kokomo, Axel F, Flashdance, and Eye of The Tiger), Michael Jackson’s songs, and more ‘sunshine’, ‘hot’, and summer-ready songs. If a song’s title or primary lyrics are about Summer, that usually bumps it in nostalgia value on our Summer Music lists.
This PCM Top 125 Summer Song of the Eighties list includes over eight hours of the best of 80’s summer music classics.
We tried to combine both, the classic summer songs and songs that dominated the airwaves during the summer, with our own Pop Culture Madness look at the songs that outlasted others from their era. Summer Songs come in two different varieties:
1. The classic songs that describe summertime, vacations, beaches, and the boardwalk.
2. The songs that were played in constant rotation on the radio and dance clubs

I wish I could take it all back and he leave me crazy.
The world in which we live is crazy.
The people we meet, the experiences we face, the journeys we must take. It is no wonder why there are a plethora of Crazy poems out there. We’re all nuts!! The poem by Michelle Brooks not only says crazy 5 billion times but pretty much sums up the crazy things we do in life and the crazy thoughts that enter our heads each and every day.
Does your head hurt after reading that? Mine sure does. The point is – you’re either Crazy In Love, Manic on Monday, or just plain Paranoid, everyone’s crazy. So don’t feel left out. There’s music, poems, and just plain crazy talk to get you through the day.

Novelty songs are different from most popular songs in that they usually have an invisible expiration date like 1999 or Pac-Man Fever with the exception of Christmas Songs and to a lesser extent, Halloween Songs. Pac-Man Fever really mattered in the early 1980s, but it has long since lost its purpose. Sometimes you can’t tell the difference between a novelty song and an odd pop song written on purpose. Songs like 1999 by Prince, Angie Baby by Helen Reddy, 1985 by Bowling For Soup and Who Let The Dogs Out by the Baha Men come to mind.
Songs like Lindbergh (The Eagle of the U.S.A.) and Lucky Lindy (both 1927) celebrated Charles Lindbergh’s historic non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Even Lorne Green (TV’s Bonanza’s Ben Cartwright) tried to financially horn in on the Beatles’ coming, with his tribute to Ringo, in 1964. Of course, not all novelty tunes were about the world around them. Some were very experimental. Richard “Dickie” Goodman took short riffs (now called ‘samples’) from then-current pop songs to answer by his intrepid, fast-talking reporter/announcer. His Mr. Jaws was a hit in 1975 and The Flying Saucer soared in 1956. Some novelty tunes are new interpretations of the classics, like Richard Cheese’s Baby Got Back, and Jessica’s Simpson’s remake of These Boots Are Made For Walking.
Youtube videos changed the game, and the most successful are targeted towards a younger audience.

Ross Bagdasarian, better known as David Seville, used the process of speeding up his voice to create the Halloween hit, Witch Doctor.

Mad with power, he built this one-trick novelty bit into a mini-empire with a prime-time animated TV show.

Pre-50s Comedy/ Novelty Songs
The earliest novelty song we could find was recorded in the days before CD, Cassette Tapes, even vinyl records. The Laughing Song followed up with The Whistling Coon ware recorded by ex-slave George Washington Johnson in 1891 on a cylinder. His Laughing Song was probably the highest-selling recording of the 19th century. The first-ever actually-recorded song that we have proof of was Thomas Edison singing Mary Had A Little Lamb.
In Der Fuehrer’s Face and (There’ll Be A) Hot Time in the Town of Berlin (When the Yanks Go Marching In) meant a lot to freedom-loving American people in the 1940s.

Summer Songs come in two different varieties:
1. The classic songs that describe summertime, vacations, beaches and the boardwalk.
2. The songs that were played in constant rotation on the radio and dance clubs.
Included are timeless, obvious songs like Summertime by New Kids On The Block and Summer Love by Justin Timberlake and there were songs that were played non-stop on the radio over the summer like Hot In Herre, Yeah! and Poker Face. Don’t Speak by No Doubt was released in late 1996, but stayed on the Billboard Charts for over a year, and dominated during the summer of 1997.
If a song’s title or primary lyrics are about Summer, that usually bumps it in nostalgia value on our lists. Songs like Hollaback Girl and Poker Face get a beggir nostalgic/retro vote than In The End by Linkin Park for example.
In many ways, older songs are easier because fewer outlast the rest from their era, songs only a decade or two old have more competition for eardrums, so this list is longer than our typical top 100 music list. We tried to combine both, the classic summer songs and songs that dominated the airwaves during the summer, with our own Pop Culture Madness look at the songs that outlasted others from their time.

American drivers spend an average of more than 17,600 minutes, or about 293 hours, behind the wheel annually, according to a 2016 survey from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
We spend over 38 hours a year just stuck in traffic.
Hopping in the car, blasting your favorite music, is probably one of the nicest feelings in the world. It sure is for me. No wonder why musicians feel the need to write music pertaining to this entertaining activity.
You’ve got a mix of soul, rock-n-roll, country, and pop music here to cruise to too. Don’t limit yourself to what you’re used to. Mix it up! Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince is good for any trip, anytime, regardless of the season.
