50 #1 Summer Songs! Which Gives You A Rise?

Many a 'babe in training' will be reminded of a HOT summer when she hears this summer's #1 Hit Song “CALL ME MAYBE” down the road of life.

Canadian Pop Star Carly Rae Jepsen's song has more than 140 million plays on You Tube.  Infectious lyrics! "Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe".

Meanwhile I just came across the N.Y. Post's List of 50 Years Of Summer Songs.
