"Man, it's a hot one, like seven inches from the mid-day sun…" are the lyrics that start the hit song sung by Rob Thomas with Santana. Smooth was also the 1999 summer anthem played around the clock across the globe. Summer has definitely hit the 'burg and the temperatures are on the rise. What is going to be the summer 2015 ear worm? Shut up and Dance? Fight Song? I probably am showing my age because the 2015 summer anthem will likely be a Pitbull song or something way more hip than what I hear on the radio. Yes, radio. No matter your age there has to be a summer soundtrack, what's on yours?

Here are my top 10.

1. Bob Segar's Night Moves. This song makes we want to build a bonfire, drink beer, dance in front of headlights and hold hands in the bed of a truck while watching for shooting stars. Yeah. Mr. Greenwell, it's a date!

2. Dj Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's Summertime. This song came out the year I got my driver's license and every time I hear it, so many memories come flooding back. Like driving with the widows down only to look cool, those weird tee shirts that looked tie-died but had some technology that was supposed to change colors when you got "hot", however they really only enhanced your pit stains, and 13 inch zippers on your jean shorts that were frequently pulled up to your bra line and worn with high tops and scrunchy socks. The song was great, the fashions were not.

3. Kings of Leon's Sex on Fire. Seeing them live is good 'ol sweaty, sans air conditioning fun. Kings of Leon and the Dave Matthews Band are always awesome to see at a summer amphitheater. Walk, don't run to catch them.

4. Cruise by Florida Georgia Line always makes me want to go tubing at Harper's Ferry and hit up a good rope swing. Mental note: take bug spray.

5. Anything by Prince. Little Red Corvette, Raspberry Beret, I Wanna Be Your Lover, Seven, or the entire Purple Rain soundtrack. One can never go wrong by cranking up Prince for a good time. You could possibly substitute anything by Madonna, though I personally favor her earlier years.

6. Pour Some Sugar on Me, Sweet Child O' Mine, Nothin' But a Good Time, Once Bitten, Twice Shy or anything from a good hair band will get your heads banging to cool off and sharpen your lost air guitar skills. Aqua-net not included, nor recommended.

7. Boombastic by Shaggy always gets a little groovin' wiggle with the bass line. With what other song do you see an entire crowd of under-agers grind in sync at a beach town club?

8. Cruel Summer by Bananarama is a given, as is anything with "summer" in the title. Summer Love, Boys of Summer, Summer of '69, Hot Fun in the Summer, the aforementioned Summertime etc. You get the point.

9. Life is a Highway is the quintessential road trip song. Who wants to play i-spy or the license plate game?

10. Lastly, Kid Rock hits All Summer Long, his version (or any) of Sweet Home Alabama or Born Free. Something about those records are just Red, White and Blue like fireworks, bandana's and the 4th of July.
