HOT SUMMER JAMS is all about pop music that celebrates warm weather, getaways to the beach, travel to exotic locations, sex, romance and the joy of fun in the sun. The lyrics and melodies of these songs are a reflection of our passionate connection to the summer season and the art of escaping the everyday. HOT SUMMER JAMS features critiques of over 500 American and international pop songs released between 1975 and 2005. Some directly reference summer themes or suggest travel and tropical paradise. Others were simply so huge on the radio and dance floor that they'll be forever associated with heat waves, palm trees, cool drinks, outdoor concerts and hot nights in the clubs.
