That song and video you shared is cool.

I can't think of a favorite summer song, but the first one that popped into my head was:

This next one definitely reminds me of summer:
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait for June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on surfari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' U. S. A.

And when I think about summer, I think about this song, too, even though it doesn't have anything to do with summer.
In the summer of 1970, the year this song was released and was being played on the radio, I had my first car and went to the beach almost every day. I was 16.
One day, two best friends and I went surfing. It was a gorgeous day and we were relaxing on our towels in the warm sun, listening to the transistor radio after having been in the water.
This song was playing and, all of a sudden one of my friends, in sort of a reverie, said "This is the best summer we will ever have."
His comment surprised me. But after I thought about it, I thought he might be right.
The day was idyllic and we were totally care free. No responsibilities or pressures.
And it was a magical summer.

We're going where the sun shines brightly

We're going where the sea is blue

We've seen it in the movies

So let's see if it's true.

Do I need to sing anymore?

It's always on the TV, and is as summer time as summer time can be.

Also the only one that springs to mind at the present.

@sage2021  This is long before my time... I simply fell it in love with it the first time I heard it! There are of course many different YouTube videos, but the song is just the same.

It’s ironic that what first sprung to mind is the standard: “April in Paris”. But that’s not summertime. How about if I jump on the song, summertime!
