Every so often summer comes with a song. For whatever reason, sometimes I’ll hear a song that will seem to capture the essence of the season. Last summer it was Micheal Franti’s “
Sound of Sunshine.” Since it is already mid August and nothing
had really hit me yet, I was beginning to think that it was going to be one of those songless summers.
This evening I heard “Short Skirt / Long Jacket” on
The Spectrum and immediately knew I had my summer song. I was surprised when I learned that it came out in 2001.
Here’s what some others think.
And here’s the song.
Anybody else have a summer song?
