Tell Losanjealous: What’s the Song of the Summer 2010?
Victor, Sung and I were shooting the shit at the Yanks/Dodgers game last Sunday during a marathon trek to the garlic fry stand when Sung suddenly says to me, “Hey what’s the song of the summer this year?”
It got me thinking. And what I was thinking is that I have no fucking idea. Right now I’m listening to an unhealthy amount of Shade 45 Sirius radio, and based on that channel’s sample size of one the song of the summer is either “Power” by Kanye/Dwele, “Not Afraid” by Eminem, or “There Goes My Baby” by Usher. That, or it may very well be “Say Ladeo” by Bobby McFerrin, which Bubba Jackson has been playing on a nearly-daily basis every morning over at KJAZZ, hell of a song. But what the fuck do I know.
Sung’s picks, likely much more logical and applicable to our reader base, can be found right here. What are your picks? Please, lay it on us in the comment section.
Katy Perry is probably going to be the most played song this summer.
My vote is for Best Coast
Agree about Perry. Maybe M.I.A, will have a good track–if she ever gets the damn record out!
I know it’s been out for a while but mine is Deadbeat Summer by Neon Indian.
Also Beach Comber by Real Estate.
this is offtopic, but the comment form is showing the name and email address of the person who left the last comment. first it gave me eric’s name and email (presumably the eric who replied to this post) and when i refreshed i got this name and email.
just in case you wanted to know. :)
yipe! Thanks Hollywood – opened a ticket with helpdesk and hopefully the WP glitch is now resolved. However, also hanging on to your email address as QA retainer. Thanks in advance. We pay in booze by liter, hope that works.
See, here’s how crazy it is… I didn’t post that comment about the glitch (wonder who did?). I do accept booze by the shot and by the liter gratefully.
“Baby I’m Yours” by Breakbot SHoulddDdd be the song of the summer, none of that Perry nonsense. Sigh.
Or “Airplanes” by B.o.B.

for sure a good song, but it feels a little before summer for me *shrug*, but my vote is for Spanish Sahara
“Heaven’s On Fire” by The Radio Dept.
or
“Grow” by Delorean
Hard one, I think I’ll have to go with MillionYoung’s ‘Sunndreamm’, Local Natives ‘Sun Hands, or Wavves’ ‘King of the Beach’
Girls – Summertime
or
Tame Impala – Solitude Is Bliss
“Bhang Bhang I’m a Burnout” by Dum Dum Girls.
“good intentions paving company” by joanna newsom, of all things!
We have to rethink our places in the world if anything other than Miike Snow’s “The Rabbit” is considered the ONE and ONLY and TRUE SONG OF SUMMER 2010.
