	I always thought it was favorite song also but I always thought it sounded really strange. Makes sense now. The P is a bit silent though. Doesn't take away from the fact that this is an amazing song.

No Picture Eric Average	#2 by Eric at Sep 28, 2007 at 6:10 PM EST
	No, it's perfect song. I used to think it was her favorite song, too. Listen a little closer next time, you'll see that it's perfect song.

No Picture Maarten Average	#3 by Maarten Wuyts at Sep 29, 2007 at 11:56 AM EST
	Ya I feel like that sometimes too but when summer's over it's so damn dapressing to listen to.

No Picture tom Average	#5 by tom jenkins at Oct 2, 2007 at 8:36 PM EST
	From beginning to end--pure greatness. Even just the way Kenny hits that high note in the word Yoo-hoo gives me a kind of chill

No Picture GonnaKill Average	#9 by GonnaKill YOU at Oct 12, 2007 at 12:36 AM EST
	This song makes me feel like going out with my group of friends just to hang out. He did such a good job putting everything summertime is about into one song!!

No Picture joel Average	#10 by joel christman at Oct 13, 2007 at 6:51 PM EST
	I can see a lot of my summers in this song - playing baseball, drinking wine and listening to the radio, the Yoo-hoo bottle (I had an addiction in high school), wearing a bathing suit under my clothes to go swimming...the song is supposed to invoke old memories, and it does...nice job, Mr. Chesney.

No Picture Alex Lead Player	#11 by Alex Russo at Oct 14, 2007 at 11:12 AM EST
	Great song for the summer, I feel like going outside and blasting it out the windows of my car!

No Picture The Real Slim S Average	#13 by The Real Slim Shady at Oct 16, 2007 at 5:15 PM EST
	I do feel that without a good winter, summer is less fun ... not much, but it's the difference between those two that makes the feeling of summer special! And this song great.
