I don't really get why "summer jam" is suddenly a big thing. I guess I would say Joe Satriani's Borg Sex. Only cause it's a good song though, ive only listened to it once in the past year and it certainly doesn't provoke thoughts of summer. Ooh i just thought of a good one, Paradise City by GnR. Ya it's mainstream but that song reminds me of playin Burnout Paradise with my friends during the summer and that was sweet. FYI it was the title screen music.
@TomA: You probably already know, but it's popping up on the boards because it was brought up in discussion during the Bombcast, so now folks are thinking about it.
I have a few questions about the Summerjam:
Does the Summerjam need to have a certain pace? (That is, are there restrictions on mood or tone of the "jam"?)
Must the Summerjam be upbeat and raucous, something that makes you just want to move when you hear it, or is it just the song(s) that define your perspective during the summer?
@Sir_Ragnarok: I would say that being a recent song helps a song to become somebody's summer jam due to the fact that its new and fresh and nobody(or most) has heard it. I can't speak on the other two but, personally, any song that you listen to several times daily qualifies no matter the subject matter or tone.
I have been listening to the Hot Sauce Committee part 2 album all summer so far. Its so damn good, any beastie boy fan who doesn't have it yet should really pick it up.
I belive there are 3-4 other post about this, but what the hell^^
Im gonna go with the OST of a german movie. So bad(fun) that it's good :)
As a Dutchman I took offence to this. This is not only a Dutch film, it is also one of the finest examples of "so bad it's good" film making our country has ever seen. This video merely features the German dub (dubbed by all the original actors themselves).

Actually changed to Amaranthe :) Saw the band last weekend and Hunger is still stuck in my mind, though they think it's the weakest video/song on the album..... not sure on the last statement :)
