30-Day Song Challenge: Day 3

DAY THREE: Song that Reminds Me of Summer

The Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff – Summertime


A bit on-the-nose I’m sure many would say, but when I think of summer, this is the first song that comes to mind. My first summer job was in 2009 and it was at a small former popular clothing store, Body Central. Perhaps the budget for the store’s playlist could’ve been a bit more generous because this was one of the only songs I remember being played multiple times during each of my 5-hour shifts. It became the backbone of every cookout playlist since its release. And, above all, Will Smith rhymed “monotony” with “gotten to be,” thus proving he is one of the superior lyricists of our time.


Most people don’t even know what monotony means…
