Of Summer I Sing

School may be out but I thought a fun quiz about summer songs might just be the ticket for this theme Thursday. I've chosen lyrics to 7 songs that all have the word "summer" in the title. Have fun and no worries, everyone gets an A+.

I'll post answers this weekend.


1: Oh, your daddy's rich and your momma's good lookin'


2: Well, she got friendly, down in the sand.


3: Stranger voices are sayin'
What did they say?
Things I can't understand


4: I got my first real six string. Bought it at the five and dime.


5: Son you gotta make some money if you wanna use the car to go a ridin' next Sunday


6: Blowing through the jasmine in my mind


7: Cool town. Evening in the city. Dressing so fine and looking so pretty.

  2. You're trying to drive me insane, is that it?

    I peeked at CG's answers (she's good!) and that helped me out, but I think it's Summer of 69, isn't it? (I'm a Canadian, so I know my Bryan Adams.)

    I'll be back for the answers!

  5. Hi Kate,

    Dang it SF seems to know them all. I mean I have heard them, but I only got Summer Breeze correct, cause I do not know the names of most songs anymore. I need to get my amplifier hooked back up again. I am spending too much time on the computer and no music to hear. Okay I could get my boom box out, but it is in that room full of stuff packed up to the ceiling and too dangerous to go into there and look for it. I need to have a yard sell. Maybe someday......not. I'll just give it to the Goodwill as usual.

    I like this game though. I just suck at names that need titles. Damn, ever since I fell and hit my head on the asphalt, whammmm, my memory sucks. What was I just writing about? Where am I? What was the name of that? Who was that person on that show? What show? Bamm, hit that asphalt and jarred my brain into oblivion. But at least I got one right, at least I think I did. Which one was it again?

    God bless.

  10. I've been humming Summer Lovin' all day since Grease was on last night. Surprised that was the tough one for folks - how can you not see John Travolta singing that line? Fun stuff.
