And if you can’t beat the heat, might as well revel in it. While it may not exactly be a way to beat the heat, it is a song that does well to remind you of the heat and what the baking sun can do to the mind. Heck, one of Sublime’s most well-known symbols is a massive sun. “ Doin’ Time” by Sublime: What can I say about this song that doesn’t scream “summer”? The song starts with the first line from the legendary “Summertime” and goes on to tell a story of building oppressed rage fueled by the summer heat.

This is a track perfect for long summer drives with the windows down.ĭJ Shift or Position at KJHK: Incoming Community Engagement Director Though “Heart It Races” could surely be described as a sunny tune, the upbeat, chill nature of the tune will have you jamming out so hard that you’ll forget about the summer heat. The subtle use of panning between multiple speaker channels and masterfully layered harmonies lend the song a palpable sense of dimension. “Heart It Races – Dr Dog Version” appears on Architecture in Helsinki’s “Heart It Races” EP, along with four other reimaginations of the tune.

It makes you picture a summer day where nothing is happening, and we can all relate to that. While many songs about summer seem to focus on the positive aspects of the warmer weather, “Summer Madness” finds something lethargic and almost insane about the heat. You can almost feel the heat radiating from the song itself. The track definitely stands out from others on the album though, having an eerie dreamlike quality that I just can’t seem to shake. “Summer Madness” by Kool and the Gang: Normally known for their disco hits from the 70’s and tight funky instrumentation, Kool and the Gang crafted this fever dream of synth and bass for their 1974 Album “Light of Worlds” along with other classics like “Street Corner Symphony”.

So we here at KJHK decided to ask around the station and find out what everyone’s go-to song was when the heat was just a little too much to bear. While the Summer may be coming to a close, it’s still nowhere near that temperate fall weather that someone like myself enjoys more than anything.
