A Midsummer Music Post #MusicMovesMe

 It's Monday, and it's time for music!

 

Today I am joining up with other Music Moves Me bloggers (and you can join us at the linky above). We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post link may be labeled "No Music" or even removed.)   We have occasional theme weeks, but you are welcome to ignore the theme and use music of your chice.  Why not join us?  You don't have to sing, or play an instrument.  All music lovers are welcome.

Our head host is Xmas Dolly, and our co-hosts are Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, joined by the knowledgeable Stacy of Stacy Uncorked and, last but not least, me.

This week's theme is "Midsummer inspired song picks".  

I must go to a song I've loved for many years, ever since my years of growing up in New York City.  Here, from 1966, are the Lovin' Spoonful and Summer in the City. Better yet, it was a hit in the summer of 1966.  I chose this video because of the video and its vintage footage.

Now, let me drift back to 1966 for a moment.  This was a special summer for me, for a number of reasons.

There were a lot of great songs in the summer of 1966.  Although these songs may not quite fit the theme, they sure bring back memories for me.

Hanky Panky from Tommy James and the Shondells. 

Lil'l Red Riding Hood - Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs. 

 Finally, Wild Thing from The Troggs, a song that makes everything groovy. 

But now, back to the theme. 

  From 1991 - Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. 

Finally, here is Bryan Adams and Summer of 69. Were those the best days of your life, one summer?

I could choose so many of these songs, the songs from the summers of my youth, (except for Summertime), but let's end it here.

And that's a wrap!

Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
