U2: "Someone Somewhere in Summertime"

Humor or honest mistake?

indeed, it's Simple Minds, which is what it sounded like to me but when I Googled I got U2 up the wazoo.

ah, Kinks for the umpteenth time. uber-LN, much as I love them.

I feel obliged to point out that U2 up the wazoo is not my idea of a good time.

And love the Kinks, but this song is definitely unnecessary. Is Mungo Jerry really coming, or is that a joke a la U2?

So, the Captain is not here, and nobody knows how to list a song for those of us that can't listen live?

Ha, I've seen this song id'd as Simple Minds, U2, and Echo & The Bunnymen. I believe the first is correct.

The streamtheworld player showed the title as "Someone Somewhere in Sum."  Well, a little unorthodox for a song title, but hey, I can swing with it.

HM Kinks even though this one gets wheeled out for numerous occasions. (Tax day, Summertime, End of Summertime, etc.)

(Geoff, it was Sunny Afternoon.)

uber-LN2 "Boys of Summer". Sheesh.  Let's get off this extremely beaten path, Renee -- Mungo Jerry and Sly not far behind?

Overplayed though it may be, still a BOS from me.  This is actually the ONLY Don Henley solo song that I really like...

I thought we'd been pretty forthcoming so far.

Kinks "Sunny Afternoon"
Henley, "Boys of Summer"

I always thought it was "Poison Summer". Wasn't sure what that meant. And I had a friend who thought a line was "your boobs keep shining in the sun". OK!

(At least this song talks about AFTER the Boys of Summer are gone.)
