I would, under no circumstances, call myself a fan of Kid Rock. I have heard a handful of songs by him and, mehhh, I can take them or leave them. This one however gets Steve and I in a total summertime mood and when you find a song that does that, you gotta love it… Kid Rock or no Kid Rock.
Anyone else? Summertime songs? I could use the summer-spirit.
Listen to Werewolves of London by Magnolia Electric – same tune, different words. Kid Rock actually used it as the sample for "All Summer Long".
Not a fan either. It think it's the stringy, white trash hair thing he has going. But the song? That I can get into. 🙂
"American Girl" by Tom Petty…nothing better for road trips with the windows down and the wind in your hair 🙂
I really think if Kid Rock washed his hair more than once a week, I would like him a whole heck of a lot more. Buuuuuutt, he is actually singing about the town I grew up in [Traverse City, Mi] which is kinda cool. Kinda.
Sunshine and Summertime by Faith Hill. Always makes me feel like summer!
I am a new follower!!! Great blog!
@ashlae, i know that song too! love it!
@hannah, yes yes, i think it's his lovely stringy hair that really dissuades me…
agreed on those others songs– tom petty, and faith hill! love those summer songs.
Kenny Chesney's Summertime….two bare feet on the dashboard!
I have been obsessed with Summer Songs! See here: http://mattornetylife.blogspot.com/2011/03/summer-songs-and-my-first-verysmall.html
and then for my Summer Song playlist: http://mattornetylife.blogspot.com/2011/04/summer-song-playlist.html
Love love love a good wind-in-your-hair summer song!!
wha? I never realized this was a Kid Rock song, of all things! Definitely a good one 🙂
Definitely "Summer Nights" by Rascal Flatts. And I'm not even a huge country fan. And any James Taylor 🙂
@kendra, LOVE that song.
@alice, ohhh kindred spirit. jt is my absolute fave.
Snow is Gone by Josh Ritter. Yes.
aww i was hoping the "jt" you were referring to was justin timberlake! because he's my fav. but i guess james taylor ain't bad.
Summertime, by The Sundays. Love their oh so mellow sound. Folksy and happy.
Love your blog!
Maryn
kenny chesney – "summertime" – kind of a given right? it does it's job though – and makes me crave yoo hoo.
very fun blog. just popped my blog-commenting-cherry but i've been following awhile and i'd like to brag that i bought things from your etsy store. anyway, love that song, don't love kid rock.
@eric and maryn, i LOVE the sundays… and that song!
@carrie, hi! glad you are showing yourself! and thanks for shopping at my now non-existent etsy shop (one day i might get back at that!)
this is the quintessential summer song. no questions asked. thanks for the post.
My grandma is actually the biggest Kid Rock fan I know. It's strange.
But this song is amazing <3
i know i posted about this weeks ago, but i'm STILL listening to this song. pumped up kicks by foster the people. check it out, if you haven't already. i simply can.not be in a bad mood when i listen to it.
