The 100 Greatest Summer Songs of All Time!

92 ''Dancing In The Dark'' Bruce Springsteen (1984) One of the Boss' greatest escape songs — an on-the-prowl choogler that, even better, never mentions cars.

93 ''Handy Man'' James Taylor (1977) Sunburned by one too many disco romps, America ached for this balladeer's dab of cool, soothing aloe vera.

94 ''The Love You Save'' The Jackson 5 (1970) There's no better soundtrack for that sleep-away camp fling than one of the J5's peppy puppy-love anthems — just ask Jacko.

95 ''Radar Love'' Golden Earring (1974) Before cellulars — before the peak of the CB craze, even — these Dutch boys had road telepathy to keep in contact with their honeys. Which was almost as cool as a fuzzbuster.

96 ''Summertime'' Billy Stewart (1966) Yes, it's that ''Summertime'' — with Stewart's the best of several '50s and '60s pop versions of the Gershwin standard.

97 ''We're an American Band'' Grand Funk (1973) A paean to that greatest of summer road trips: the pavement-grabbin', money-grubbin', groupie-gropin' rock tour. Twenty-three years later, a few fathers still have their daughters locked up.

98 ''Tennessee'' Arrested Development (1992) Yes, technically, it's a hip-hop meditation on the troubling history of the South. But only out of the classroom could a history lesson sound so smooth and intoxicating.

99 ''Stay (I Missed You)'' Lisa Loeb (1994) Every summer needs its lovelorn ballad along with its roof raisers, and Loeb's winsome plea fit the bill.

100 ''See You in September'' The Happenings (1966) Or: Will you still love me when we're back from vacation, Muffy?
