I'll add 2 non- new wave songs - but they say "summer" for me more than any other song.

Sly & the Family Stone - Hot Fun in the Summer Time
Beach Boys - All Summer Long

Lots of good ones - many that I've never heard. Gotta add Fountains of Wayne - It Must Be Summer. I've been annoying my kids for the last couple of days by singing Alice Cooper's "School's Out".

"Rain In The Summertime" The Alarm
"Sounds of Summer" The Adventures

Circles In The Sand - Belinda Carlisle
Waves - Blancmange

Jane Siberry's "Mimi on the Beach" -- More a summer song than a party song, unless you're wacked out like me. [;)]
