16 Essential Summer Songs For Mixed Generations

1. "Barcelona" – George Ezra

George Ezra is my new favorite artist! Many of you have probably already fallen in love with his catchy, mellow hit song Budapest, but this is one you might not have heard yet.

2. "Heart of a Lion" – The Griswolds

This anthem is the perfect song for driving with the windows down and tapping along to the beat on the steering wheel.

3. "Dog Days Are Over" – Florence + The Machine

This song has been around for years, yet it never gets old. It’s a light, easy song to sing along to.

4. "Just What I Needed" – The Cars

This is a classic song that people from every generation know and can appreciate!

5. "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" – Whitney Houston

Who doesn’t love a good Whitney song? Everyone loves screaming out the chorus to this song.

6. "Margaritaville" – Jimmy Buffet

It’s not summer without a Jimmy Buffet song! His songs make you want to sit by the ocean with a drink in hand, and that is definitely what summer is all about!

7. "Dancing in the Moonlight" – King Harvest

Sticky summer nights are one of the best parts about summer, and this song definitely conjures up the fun of that.

8. "Your Body is a Wonderland" – John Mayer

With his sweet buttery voice that every girl wants to be sung to with, John Mayer creates a mellow tune that everyone can enjoy while sitting out on the back deck with a cool drink in hand.

9. "Dancing Queen" – ABBA

Everyone knows ABBA, and I’m sure for many people, this song brings to mind the beautiful scenery of coastal Greece!

10. "Hooked on a Feeling" – Blue Swede

I doubt I’m the only one who got hooked on the catchy Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack last summer, so many of you are probably already familiar with this great song. It’s easy to sing along to, and fun to get into the spirit of.

11. "I Get Around" – The Beach Boys

No summer playlist is complete without a little bit of The Beach Boys!

12. "Sun Daze" – Florida Georgia Line

Even if you think you don’t like country, I think you should give this song a chance. They croon about everything a great summer consists of: flip cup, a game of corn hole, and pink umbrella drinks!

13. "Free" – Donavon Frankenreiter

With a John Mayer feel, this song is bound to be enjoyed by all ages with its breezy melody.

14. "Shut Up and Dance" – Walk the Moon

A relatable song about a fun, young romance on the dance floor, this makes-you-want-to-dance anthem will be sure to be a favorite among younger generations.

15. "Geronimo" – Sheppard

This song is just plain fun to listen to, and belting out “Geronimo!” is sure to add to the fun!

16. "Island In The Sun" – Weezer

The title is pretty self explanatory, and is the ultimate summer tune. Who doesn’t want to sing along to a song that conjures up the image of being on an island in the sun?

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
