Subject: re: 60's summer song?

Bingo! That's it, thanks so much.

Now that I have the title, I was able to do a little research and found several versions:

1959 Jerry Keller #14 (#1 in UK)
1959 Cliff Richard (UK)
1970 Dave Clark Five
1977 Wildfire #49

I actually have the Dave Clark Five double-cd set which has the song, so that must be where I remember it from.

The Jerry Keller version is on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sePcM7QbraQ

Subject: 60's summer song?

This tune popped into my head but I can't identify it. I think it may be a 60's summer song like "How About Summer" or "What About Summer", but I can't find anything relevant on google, nor with Parson's code. I put as much as I can remember (just the verse) at: http://www.anythingpeaceful.org/HowAboutSummer.mp3.

Please help me ID this one.

Thanks, Tom

Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

1. Record your audio here.
2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
