We can’t let summer slip by without a red hot summer playlist. These are great tunes to load on your iPod before you hit the beach, or, if you’ve already been there, use these songs to remember your vacation. This would also be a great mix of songs to play for a backyard barbecue or party on your patio. They’re light, fun songs that always remind me of summer. Put on your coolest sunglasses and enjoy!
