1. Impregnable Question – If one night this summer you are at the beach around a giant bonfire with a young woman you have only recently met, and they are passing round the beer and the bong and the guitar, play her this (I know: rearrange it) and for that one night only she will love you forever.
2. The Only Place – Best Coast – Remember how when you were a kid it felt like summer would never end? It was because YOU WERE BORED TO DEATH. This song is for you.
3. Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen – A true song sung blue, everybody can sing it and it is right in the popular imagination windmill. It has been at # 1 for three weeks now.
4. Sorry – Friends – Infidelity has never been more socially redeemable and ethically fucked.
5. Till I Die – Chris Brown – Speaking of ethically challenged!!! Sleep all day, play all night indeed.
And that's it, dudes, these five songs will remain the summer of 2012 for me… put em in the memory books!
