This is the sound of the summer

"Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin
Er... I'm more of a "Winter of Discontent" than a "Summer Anthem" man myself, but if I am forced into shorts and a stupid straw hat, it'll probably be this that gets me there. The rising clarinet opener conjures up New York in full heat. As euphoric as any synthesised swoop from a Chemical Brothers LP. This and a deep morning skinful and I'm made up for the day.
