Or if you’ve got any better ideas, comment below and we’ll add them to the playlist!

Take Me – Rüfüs: Bit of a guilty pleasure but it is summer reincarnate.

This is Real – Frankie Valli: It’s summer but it’s raining or you’ve just been dumped. This song fills that type of criteria.

Don’t Look Back into the Sun – The Libertines: Also a great Saturday song, don’t ask me why!

Fever – The Black Keys: The ultimate beer advert band. Pop a cider to this!

This Kiss – Kissy Sell Out: Again, another guilty pleasure but hey, don’t judge.

Lovely Day – Bill Withers: if you can overcome the mental scars this song probably gave you in 127 Hours, it’s definitely one to get your ‘summer walk’ on to.

Call me – Blondie: Nothing like the Blond-ster on a summer’s day!

Lights Out, Words Gone – Bombay Bicycle Club: A very mellow song, will send you off to sleep if you’re in the sun (make sure you’re wearing sun-cream).

I shot the sheriff – Bob Marley: Bob just HAS to be on this list, no questions.

On the road again – Canned Heat: A classic summer tune!

Mint Car – The Cure: this is the soundtrack to the montage of your youth.

Golden Years – David Bowie: originally written for Elvis in the height of Bowie’s cocaine addiction. Also a great summer tune.

Heebie Jeebies – The Rifles: If you’re familiar with Made in Chelsea (which I’m most definitely not…) you’ll have heard these guys.

Nuthin’ but a G Thang – Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg: A ‘Phat’ track (parental advisory)

Black Gold – Foals: This reminds me of swimming pools…

Hawaiian Air – Friendly Fires: A song about the fear of flying. Some people should at least try and be happy about going to Hawaii…

Give it Up – K.C. and the Sunshine Band: a fixture of every decent night out I’ve ever had at university.

September – Earth, Wind and Fire: A summer track despite the name.

Waterfall – The Stone Roses: The guitar on this is the closest thing to feeling an actual ray of sunshine I’ve found, other than the real thing of course.

Take a Walk – Passion Pit: You’re thinking of making a film about your summer? Use this as your soundtrack.

You Make My Dreams – Hall and Oates: Best known from 500 days of Summer. Enough said really!
