What's your favourite sunshine song?

[Beckiboo]

I'm not going to let this torrential rain get me down Even though I have had enough of this British "summer"!!

So, thought it would be fun to get everyone to post their favourite songs that makes them dream of laying on a sunny beach, dancing in the sunshine, swimming in clear blue seas or chilling in a hammock with a cocktail!

This is mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGqrvn3q1oo

Always reminds me of being on Thailand - they're MASSIVE reggae fans over there and huge on Bob Marley funnily enough I always remember being in a ramshackled beach hut sipping on a watermelon juice listening to a bit of Bob in the background.... ahhhh 8)

Summer Breeze - Isley Brothers

Classic!!
This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzpCcNdhy5w (Modjo - Lady (hear me tonight)) used to be my summer guilty pleasure. I love the bassline even though it's a bit of a rubbish track. I kind of hate it now though because HeartFM play it about 6 times a bloody day and it's always on at work
