Taylor Swift, "Tim McGraw"

Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin’ stuck,
On backroads at night
An’ I was right there beside him all summer long
An’ then the time we woke up to find that summer’d gone

christy cummins, "summer memories"

(i'm spending my evening following youtube links for something called "teensound girls," which seems to be an endless collection of second-rate late '50s and early '60s girl group pop with deliciously weird arrangements by people like christy cummins, courtney rain, clairette clement, bernadette carroll, claudia carithose and literally dozens of others who i know nothing or next-to-nothing about, and half of whose names appear to be misspelled on these clips, and i love that there was a singer named christy cummins, and it occurs to me that everyone i listed above and most of what i have listened to so far are artists whose first and/or last name begins with a C, even though i am just aimlessly following youtube links, and, well, this particular song is called "summer memories" so there you go.)

Ash "Oh Yeah", but that's about the start of the summer

Yo La Tengo's "Summer," though I can't really tell if it's about the end of summer. The melancholy feel and line "'til the summer comes undone" make it seem like it is.

According to Ken Emerson (in his Stephen Foster book Doo Dah), Thomas Moore's 19th Century "'Tis The Last Rose Of Summer" (a song I'm not sure I've ever heard) "may have been the first song ever to sell more than a million copies." (Sheet music, obviously.)
