What's Your Soundtrack for Summer?

Posted on the 21 June 2013 by Ellenarnison @Ellen27
We're all going on a summer holiday, summer holiday.... 
We'll not quite yet, Cliff. But it's close enough to get excited about it. Close enough to have a huuuge list of stuff to do first.  Oh, we do like to be beside the sea side, beside the sea side, beside the sea.
Let's face it, who doesn't like to be beside the sea? Actually lakes would do, rivers, streams, paddling pools... Echo Beach, far away in time... Echo Beach... What's your soundtrack for summer? And in an echo of last year, we're off to Cornwall again. (Did you see what I did there?)  I can't wait to go. That's obviously why I'm spending time thinking about music to play in the car on the way there rather than finishing all the things on my list of things to finish first. Sigh.  However, I'm clearly not alone because the people at Cumbrian Cottages  have been busy compiling a Spotify playlist of summer holiday songs. And here's what they've come up with: What's your soundtrack for summer? You can check the playlist out on Spotify here.  I have to say the first thing I'd dump is The Wheels on the Bus as I've already had a lifetime's worth of that.  In its place Monster by Automatic, Golden Brown by the Stranglers, In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry and Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks. 
Though in reality, for the sake of peace, we often end up listening to what Boy Three wants in the car - so our road trip soundtrack is likely to be anything by One Direction or Walt Disney. Or, if we are really unlucky, Gangnam Style and Nyan Cat.  What would you put on your ultimate summer holiday playlist?  This post is in association with Cumbrian Cottages.
