"I Got A Man" sure does.  Dang, I totally forgot about that song!

Two I can think of offhand from the 90's are "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince (1991) and "I Get Weak" by SWV (1993).

"I Got A Man" sure does.  Dang, I totally forgot about that song!

Summer songs in the 1990s?
I'm not coming up with much for that decade.

That "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince and the jazz instrumental "When Summer Comes" by George Howard are all I can think of.

"I Got A Man" sure does.  Dang, I totally forgot about that song!

I always liked that "Summertime" song for some reason

Actually, I got a man came out before then.

That's true, it said it peaked at #1 on 12/19/92 in my CD, but I guess it was mostly played in 1993. 

Funny though, I always associated it with 1995 until then :P

"The Way" is a good one, and so was "Summertime" (the one by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, and the Sundays song by the same name.).

Others:
Dionne Farris: I Know
TLC: Waterfalls
Goo Goo Dolls: Name
OMC: How Bizarre
Third Eye Blind: Semi-Charmed Life

All I got for now.

Here are two more songs from the '90s, but used in summertime commercials (Sea World and Six Flags) in the 2000s.


The Child Inside -- Qkumba Zoo
We Like to Party! -- Vengaboys

How could you forget that cheesy pop song called "I Swear" from 1994? I dont remember who sings it. I just remember how it was played constantly on the radio that summer.

All 4 One had a few hits in the summer of '93. I think "I Swear" came out that year, not 1994. I could be wrong. I owned their CD  ::) It's somewhere in our garage.

Also, I think of Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" when I think of some summertime songs. I didn't like the song that much, but it was big enough to be heard every once in awhile.

You're right. I just looked it up to double check myself.  ;)  :)

"Livin' La Vida Loca", "If You Had My Love", "Genie in a Bottle", "Bills"...all big in the summer of '99.

^ yes, those were HUGE hits.
