Pizzicato 5 is total summer music. So cheesy and sugary they can only be listened to on summer days.

that 3 cd stereolab recently put out, Oscillons from the Anti-Sun, nicely french-babbling happy-hums weird-chord changes, lovely when going for a drive through the park of a sunny day

Assagai's version of Hey Jude is summertastic. Read about it here and download it here. That website has another 364 weird and wonderful songs with notes etc.

Quite true that, summer it came out i put it on repeat from cork to tralee to limerick and never got sick of it. Ledge.

Probably a cliche but old reggae and ska is perect on a sunny day- (conversely, i hear in Kingstown they listen to The Blades, and The Bachelors)

Fleetwood Macs' Albatross is the ultimate hot sunny day song though
