What's The Connection? Summer

I've been doing lots of Pol's Picks, but WTC? (or What's The Connection?) are my favorite picks. Since we're in July (in Texas) the connection today is Summer. Although I made this originally in summer 2000 it is timeless. Back in 2000 I was listening to Lil' Brian and the Zydeco Travelers. From Thigh Drivin' to Summer Girls they had a great sound. I added a bunch of other Summer songs that I liked and came up with this WTC?. Some much older and a few that are now old classics as well. Never thought I would say that Dino was old, but there you go. The funk of Kool & the Gang and Sly and the Family Stone right next to Shonen Knife and the Stray Cats. The first time I really heard Sly and the Family Stone, I was blown away! I listened to the album over and over. Just so great! Obviously a million other Summer songs are available. Tell me your favorites in the comments below.
