Pepper’s “Never Ending Summer.” I just think it is a really fun song. I like songs that are fun [and] always remind me of summer because it’s summer and you try to have fun.

I feel like anything by the Beach Boys reminds me of summer. Beach Boys and Brian Wilson. It’s just very catchy and happy, and it’s in the name Beach Boys.

Oh, I got one—the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun.” One of my favorite songs. Just that it’s all about the sunshine and summer—it’s sunny all day. Very beachy, happy and carefree.

Oh, that would be Michael Franks. It is a beautiful song that I like which reminds me of work. It’s called “How I Remember You.”

I would say “No Rain” by Blind Melon just because they capture the theme of summer. I think they capture the output of what summer would be like, not only with their music but their lyrics as well.
