Classic Summer Songs Updated For Summer 2020
Summer in the City
Hot town, locked down in the city
Stuck inside binge-watching “Hello Kitty”
Closed pools, isn’t it a pity
Gonna go complain to the health subcommittee
All around, people wearing face masks
Ordering to-go drinks, sneaking sips from hip flasks
Summer Nights
Summer loving, happened on Hinge
Summer loving, we both liked “Fringe”
Fell for a girl, beauty in bloom
Fell for a boy, but just through Zoom
Have we met? No, not quite yet. Gonna wait until there’s a vaccine.
(Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well) Tell me more, tell me more
Seriously, tell me more
Hello?
Ah, crap. I think FaceTime froze. Hang on.
Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach
No one is allowed at Rockaway Beach
Summer Breeze
See the people avoidin’ each other in the evenin’ at a grocery store
Seems to me this guy has enough toilet paper but he just keeps on getting more
Summer breeze, makes me wanna scream, hope it’s not carrying Covid-19
Summer breeze, just get outta here, you won’t seem relaxing ’til next year
Summertime Blues
Sometimes I wonder what I’m gonna do
’Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
Or for the coronavirus
Which is actually what’s causing most of those aforementioned summertime blues
Boys of Summer
I can see you
But only through an iPad screen
Your hair is everywhere ’cause you
Can’t get it cut baby
I can tell you have not seen humans in so long
Now that all of your roommates have gone
Dancing in the Street
Callin’ docs around the world
Please provide us with a brand new cure
Summer’s here, and we really need
To not cancel our West Coast tour
They’re coughing in Chicago, down in New Orleans, in New York City
And, you know, pretty much everywhere else
This thing is global
Vacation
A week without friends
Used to seem long
Two weeks without friends
As this pandemic just keeps on going strong
Vacation, all of mine are canceled
Vacation, cannot get away
Vacation, now I’m always alone
Vacation, where would I even go?
Vacation, nowhere feels safe
Staycation, such a weak substitute
School’s Out
School’s out for summer
School’s out forever
Like, maybe literally forever
We still don’t know when it will be safe to come back
Summertime
Summertime and the virus is spreading
States are opening as the counts stay high
But your friend’s in town and he wants to see people
So just go, he’s a really good guy
Cruel Summer
It’s a cruel, (cruel), cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel), cruel summer
Now you’re gone
… Ok, I guess this one doesn’t really need updating
