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.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

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?

Ouch... thanks a lot for the visual image Dave.  :-)

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.)
Let's get right to it.

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

The Kinks song was Sunny Afternoon
Slipping into something
And out of something else

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.)
