Summer Nights
John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John
1978
Popular everywhere from bar mitzvahs to karaoke bars, "Summer Nights" is one of those great movie songs that appeal to everyone. Made famous by John Travolta and Olivia Newton Jones in the movie "Grease" in 1978, the legacy of Danny and Sandy's summer fling lives on in the faux-'50s tune that warmed up to the top five at the height of the disco era.

Summer Girls
LFO
1999
The theme song to many a youthful turn of the millennium summer night, "Summer Girls" is the solid hit from the cheesy dreamboats of LFO. This 1999 lyrical masterpiece ("When I met you I said my name was Rich / You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch," anyone?) spent 17 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 3.

School's Out
Alice Cooper
1972
With heavy eyeliner and a snarling, guitar-driven swagger, Alice Cooper took the sweet, innocent idea of the first day of summer break, and turned it into an emancipation proclamation for ditching class permanently. School, he growled, was not only out for summer, "School's out forever!" The gritty tune peaked at No. 7 on the Hot 100 in 1972.
@ you guys only knowing 1 or 2 songs. A number of these songs are summer anthems along with them being played on a number of commercials. But then again, a number of you are only here for tha plastics so im not surprised.

My summer anthem till I die. My dad would always play this song growing up. Don Henley was also in The Eagles from the 70s. I can't believe some of you people haven't heard any of these amazing songs. You're truly missing out on some hidden gems.
Take a listen,

Here's the modern pop version on the classic.
I can't believe some of you haven't listened to any of these classic songs. Very disappointing. You're all missing out on some of the best pop songs ever created.
Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.
