What are some of the songs that you like to either listen to
or play during the summer time?

Summer In The City
and
Hot Fun in the Summertime
are two favorites of mine.

Summer Breeze - The Isley Brothers, Long Hot Summer Night - The Jimi Hendrix Experience & Summer Lightning by Camel are three that spring to mind.

Does it have to relate to summer? Otherwise, I pretty much listen to the same thing I would the rest of the seasons.

Surf tunes, car songs, vintage Motown, classic doo-wop. It's all good!

Does summer have to be in the title?

Anything Early Beach Boys
Anything Jimmy Buffet (although my dad plays in a trop-rock band, so it's sort of a job requirement! Though I do enjoy his music beyond work.)
The Beatles are good year round
Santana
Rush's first album is very different from the rest of their discography, but it's a fantastic album to have in the car for driving around on hot summer nights with the windows down.
And odly enough, The Barenaked Ladies are very summer-listening to me, for some unknown reason.



No, any songs that you like about or during summer.

I always like to hear Summertime Blues and Brian Wilson's SMiLE. :D

I guess I am like Paul.
I have no seasonal preferences that I am aware of and I have no reason to suspect the seasons affect my listening decisions.
It is officially summer now since the Solstice has passed and what I've been listening to lately might be categorized as Folk.
Roots style music with acoustic guitars either present or sometimes predominant.
Specifically, I've been revisiting a fair bit of Stephen Fearing, Steven Walters, Emerson Noguiera, Joni Mitchell, Indigo Girls and a few others.
I can't ever remember the summer season coinciding with me having an inclination for Roots/Folk music, not that I've paid attention to that as it never occurred to me the seasons might affect my preferences.
I'm sure before the summer is done I will have moved on to something else.
The new Helix has me playing more than usual as I create sounds for myself, so it's easy to envision my listening preferences switching to a more electrified genre at some point in the near future but there's no guarantee of that.
What I play and what I listen to aren't always the same.

Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69
The Summer Of '69 was a great time for me. Other summer time songs come to mind, but that's the one for me. The actual summer of '69, was an awakening, that jolted me to a new beginning of my life.

This is surely one of the great summer songs and, after, along with, and before others and their versions, Billy Stewart knocked his 1966 version outa the park. IMHO.

Here he is in 2013 singing Summertime:



This puts the popularity of the song in perspective:
