Now that we're getting toward the end of summer (anyway here in North America) what would you say have been your Carpenters summer songs of this year?

I would say " Sailing On The Tide ", comes to my mind, like I'm on a vacation by the sea

This year I'd have to say my Carpenters summer songs include:
"Top Of The World" - This one is an obvious choice because it's such a good summer song. but this year (2005) it was particularly significant since it was used in the Aquafina television commercial which made me pay more attention to the song again.
"Dancing In The Street" - This is a regular favorite for me. Though in these last few months it's been one I've enjoyed for it's easy upbeat feel.
"Making Love In The Afternoon" - The mention of the words "afternoon" and "sunny day" along with it's easy going upbeat rhythm help turn this song into the perfect sunny afternoon summer song. And this summer more so than any other summer in the last eight years I have played this song on an almost daily basis.

I have to go with Maybe Its You, Sailing On The Tide. Crescent Noon (more of a fall song but always play it in summer) Boat To Sail as well as my staples Happy and Two Sides.

Thank you Enigma for mentioning "Boat To Sail" that is another yearly summer favorite for me. This summer though I must admit I didn't play this one as much as in past years this one has been a heavy favorite of mine. I guess I gave it a bit of a rest this year.

In addition to Boat to Sail and Sailing on the Tide, Desperado has always felt like a summer song to me.

;)First one I thought of is Crystal Lullabye>>> ???I think of it where the lyrics are: "sometimes when I listen to the velvet song that fills the summer afternoon...Something deep within me sighs and wishes for the peaceful skies of long ago"...KAREN= A velvety voice...and I do listen to her this summer but all year of course... AND= I don't take naps...but many do..kids who get to have summer off from school and a nice air conditioned place and comfty couch or bed fits in well....
RAINBOW CONNECTION:...Since I heard this song for the first time this summer since I bought "As Time G. By" cd....I've listened to this more than others...it's a pleasant catchy tune...I saw lots of rain also...but haven't seen a rainbow in a long time... BOAT TO SAIL= definite kind of summer song, seen a few around town with boats headed to a lake too... Have to go along with you other guys for TOP OF THE WORLD....mainly, as you stated Rick it's more on my mind too because of the Aqua. ad.... It's also always been one of my very favorites too...

Another one I forgot to mention is "Honolulu City Lights". I just love this song and it just seems to go with the whole summer theme.

That's the one I was just going to mention, Rick. I think "Honolulu City Lights" is a good one.

Jim Hey Jim Absolutely Happy is a summer song for me and I guess one hand is kind of washing the other my Happy choice in this thread got you to listen to Horizon and your Road Ode take got me to give A Song For You a spin...very interesting if I don't say so myself.

I might as well jump on the bandwagon also. after reading that Jim would give "Horizon" a spin I did just that myself - making sure to play "Happy" first.

yes, Happy is a good one....I love the way Karen as always her vocal range is terrific....from low notes and on up ...maybe like a roller coaster...well, ironically, love and life is much like a roller coaster ...and although the state fair around here doesn't come until there's a chill in the air, i think of roller coasters going along w/ summer. I never had the stomach for a super looper coaster, although I did like some fast rides..... I think the song Saturday, also, a good summer one.
