"Gin and Juice” – Snoop Dogg (1994)

It may have been released in January, but “Gin and Juice” became an instant BBQ classic when Snoop Dogg released it in 1993. His ode to the summertime drink is simple and lighthearted G-funk, taken from his debut album Doggystyle.d in January, but “Gin and Juice” became an instant BBQ classic when Snoop Dogg released it in 1993. His ode to the summertime drink is simple and lighthearted G-funk, taken from his debut album Doggystyle.


“Sunny Afternoon” – The Kinks (1966)

Ray Davies adopts the role of a rich layabout sitting in his stately home protesting (somewhat lazily) about the taxman taking all his money. His girlfriend has left him, too, so all he’s got is his “ice-cold beer”, which he sips as he lies “lazin’” (or “blazin’”, depending on how you hear the lyrics) on a sunny afternoon. Thanks to Davies’s languid, drawling vocals, it’s easy to imagine the latter


“School’s Out,” Alice Cooper (1972)

Few memories are as great as those final seconds before the school bell rings, signalling the end of tests and homework and the beginning of the summer holidays. And no song has such raucous, youthful spirit as Alice Cooper on “School’s Out”, which was released in May 1972. “The few minutes waiting for that final school bell to ring are so intense that when it happens, it's almost orgasmic,” said Alice Cooper. Truer, albeit slightly inappropriate words, never spoken


“Get Lucky” – Daft Punk (2013)

Daft Punk turned the summer of 2013 into a disco inferno with their resplendent, Pharrell-featuring jam. From the first punch of that neat little guitar riff, courtesy of one Nile Rodgers, there was something about this relatively sedate jam that had people pressing the “replay” button all summer long. For older listeners, it likely reminded them of the party atmosphere he’d injected into Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family” 33 years earlier. For a younger audience more familiar with Pharrell’s airy falsetto, the funk and soul influences combined with Daft Punk’s classic vocodered break was unlike else released that year. No wonder we couldn’t get enough of it
