As far as I'm concerned, the lyrics are pure "summer."

Did I? That's surprisingly surprising. Liking The Eagles these days seems unfashionable but I don't care because I'm seeing them in October and I'm stoked and I love Don Henley.

Isn't Island In The Sun perfect, though?

What? WHAT? The lyrics have barely any connotations to summer, not in a explicit sense at any rate.

Besides Island in the sun, I don't think that I listen to much "summer" music; anyone mind explaining to me what exactly qualifies as "summery" type stuff?

Happy shit by Oasis and whatnot.

Also, Cap'n, I decided Summer in the City was too obvious so I didn't put it down.
