The Summer Single isn't always a great song or even a good one. (No, I'm still not going to include Katy Perry's awful "I Kissed a Girl" in this list.) It's the song that sounds best booming from cars on the corner, blasting from radios at the beach, or on the system at every holdiay party you hit this weekend.
Here's the Backstage Pass playlist:
NOTES: (1) Yeah, the LCD Soundsystem song is kinda old, but it's received a new life thanks to the upcoming Will Ferrell movie. (2) We would've thrown Weezer's "Pork and Beans" in, but Geffen insists on blocking it on Imeem. Sorry, Rivers.
