Or The Beach Boys' "Never Learn Not To Love"
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That Summer Feeling - Jonathan Richman. A great summer song, with bonus days-gone-by wistfulness perfect for a farewell to summer soundtrack.

Ya' gotta have "Indian Summer" - either the original by Beat Happening or the Luna cover.
Also, "Summertime Blues"? My fave version is the T-Rex one - with just acoustic guitar and bongos!

See, I've been racking my brains since yesterday, when I should have realized I would get great suggestions within minutes here. Thanks and keep 'em coming.
ETA: The real challenge are the ones that don't have summer in the title, just the lyrics.
