"Summer Time," "The Heat Is On," "Summer in the City" spring to mind.

Sublime is okay, but listen to Ela Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong do Summertime , or try Mungo Jerry , In the Summertime

In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry 6 -6 7 7 7 In the summer time -6 6 -6 6 5 6 When the weather is high 6 -6 7 7 7 You can stretch right up -6 -6 6 5 6
An' touch ~~ the sky -4 5 -4 4 -3b When the weather's fine -4 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -4 5 4 You got women, you got women on your mind -4 5 6 6 6 6 Have a drink have a drive -4 -4 -4 5 -4 4 -4 4 Go out an' see what you can find

Other Verses (Same tune through out)

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal. If her daddy's poor, just do as you feel. Speed along the lane, Do a ton, or a ton and twenty-five. When the sun goes down, you can make it, make it good in a lay-by.

We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean. We love everybody, but we do as we think. When the weather's fine we go fishing or go swimming in the sea. We're always happy, life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.

Sing along with us, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee. Da-da-da-da-da...Yeah, we're happy happy, da-da-da-da-dah.

When the winter's here, then it's party time. Bring a bottle, wear your bright clothes. It'll soon be summertime, and we'll sing again, we'll go drivin' or maybe we'll settle down. If she's rich, if she's nice, bring you're friends and we'll all go

Nsure it's a simple song, but my first thought was the good, the Bad, and the Ugly theme.

Today the electric company turned our electric off so they could change out the pole and transformer.
So I sat outside in the shade and played smoke on the water tune. 🙃😎
