There was a voting of best summersong on Finnish Radiostation Yle Tampere. Sommartider was number 17.
Here’s the whole list (lot’s of Finnish artists):
1. Danny: Kesäkatu
2. Popeda: Pitkä kuuma kesä
3. Tomas Ledin: Sommaren är kort
4. Rauli Badding Somerjoki: Paratiisi
5. Abba: Summernight City
6. Kesäillan valssi
7. Mamba: Vielä on kesää jäljellä
8. Boney M.: Sunny
9. Agents: Muistan kesän
10. Junnu Vainio: Käyn ahon laitaa
11. Kesäpäivä Kangasalla
12. Ilona: Kesäpano
13. Laid Back: Sunshine Reggae
14. Mungo Jerry: In the Summertime
15. Olavi Virta: Vihreät niityt
16. Tapani Kansa: Paista päivä
17. Gyllene Tider: Sommartider
18. Katri Helena: Kesän lapsi
19. Laila Kinnunen: Pikku bikineissä
20. Don Henley: Boys of Summer

So, what’s your opinion? What’s the best summersong ever? I think it’s Kung av Sand.

Depends on which summer mood I’m in, but Tylö sun and Sommartider must be among the best ever. There are others too, Kung, yes, and Gå & fiska!, but also Vandrar i ett sommarregn...
Edit: Micke Syd - In the Summertime!!!

“Kung av sand” a summer song? :|

“Kung Av Sand”... hmmm... sand... beach... I think I can see it! I think it’s kind of like “Har Kommer Alla Känslorna”... the lyrics suggest the story takes place in the winter, but the music is as warm and sunny as Tylösand in July... (-:

Kung av sand is everything but a happy summer song! :O

@Santi: Only if you understand the lyrics! Otherwise, I think it’s very summery... acoustic guitar, harmonicas... campfire instruments!
