Summer is here and the living is e-a-s-y, am I right? And, as the weather heats up, so should your summer playlist. Whether you are playing your favorite song in the car, blasting poolside or on one of your many summertime adventures, summer is always marked by some great songs. So, whether you're a country music fan or prefer top 40 pop hits, here's what your favorite summer jam says about your personality:
1. Long Hot Summer by Keith Urban: This may be your favorite song because whenever you listen to it, you can practically smell the bonfire and bug spray. You are enjoying a stereotypical summer with your feet up on the dash and the wind blowing through the car windows. Or maybe you're just dreaming about it, but either one will do.
2. Surfin' U.S.A. by The Beach Boys: If this is your favorite summer song, you are most likely spending your summer having backyard barbecues where you toss around beach balls and dance the night away to the glow of tiki torches. You may even be packing up your bathing suit and hitting the beach for some waves. Have fun with your "bushy bushy blond hairdo."
3. Hot in Herre by Nelly: If "I was like, good gracious a** bodacious" doesn't bring back memories for you, you probably never went to a middle school dance. It's getting hot out aka it's getting hot in herre, really what's the difference? If Nelly's hit takes the number one spot on your summer playlist, chances are you are avoiding people from high school and binge-watching the Step Up movies on Netflix.
4. Springsteen by Eric Church: You are most likely spending your summer covering the bed of a truck with pillows so you can watch the stars with your summer fling. You have a soft spot for the lovey-dovey country music and frankly who can blame you? Don't forget to toss your cooler in the back of the truck before you drive down to the lake.
5. Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen: "You threw a wish in the well", and looks like it came true! If this song tops the summer charts for you, chances are you are enjoying the hot sun while waiting for some phone calls from a summer crush. Make sure to rotate while you wait; you don't want to turn into a lobster.
6. California Gurls by Katy Perry (ft. Snoop Dogg): Chances are you're still living in 2010, and that's totally okay in my book. How can you go wrong with ice cream cone bras and cotton candy clouds? You are probably spending your summer sitting by the pool and making healthy "ice-pops." But whatever you do, don't let your sun-kissed skin melt your popsicle.
7. Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett: You're likely spending your summer drinking $2 margaritas at your local bar of choice. *WARNING* If you get the fish bowl, the Swedish Fish are not friends, they are indeed food. But hey, it is five o'clock somewhere, so bottoms up! At the very least, you're probably wearing a cute Hawaiian lei, so it all works out.
8. I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift: "Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago" could possibly be your life motto. You are spending your summer one of two ways: re-kindling a flame with an ex while you're home on vacation (never a good idea, IMO) or finding a new bad boy (also never a good idea, but let's be real, we all do it). As my girl T-Swift says, "trouble, trouble, trouble."
9. The Hills by The Weeknd: Congratulations, you are probably spending your summer jamming out to Top 40 radio or dancing to the club remix on an exciting night out. Even more kuddos to you if you actually know what this song means—because you quite possibly may be the only one. You can touch, just don't feel, cause it's half past five? Say what?
10. Trap Queen by Fetty Wap: 1738. I'm like hey wassup, get out. If this is your favorite song, the summer will probably end before you even realize it happened. Being able to remember how you spent your break isn't necessarily a bad thing. One shot, two shots, three shots, more, four shots, five shots, six shots, floor.
