Top 10 Picks for the Perfect Summer Soundtrack

Mimi Tiu | Published: Mar 11, 2010 - 8:00am


2. "Pure Shores" by All Saints
Hypnotic–the perfect word to describe this track written for Leonardo DiCaprio's movie, The Beach. This electronica-heavy masterpiece produced by William Orbit captures the thrill of dipping your toes in the water then diving deep to experience a fascinating world under the sea.
Slick Lines: "Take me somewhere I can breathe/I've got so much to see/This is where I want to be/In a place I can call mine"


1. "Holiday" by Madonna
The Queen of Pop has always worked hard, but she parties even harder! In her 1983 classic hit, Madonna urges everyone to take constant breaks and learn to celebrate life. If you can't follow her advice about taking a holiday, just play this tune to instantly uplift your mood.
Slick Lines: "It's time for the good times/Forget about the bad times, oh yeah/One day to come together/To release the pressure/We need a holiday"

    I seriously don't think you should be giving music advice if you're going to include a Ke$ha song in this list.

    no offense meant, but I'm sick of Ke$ha just a week of hearing Tik Tok. And I never even have intentionally played that song on that moment. Peace.

    To 'to Summergirl'

    Sorry I wasnt able to elaborate.. what i meant to say was that the tone of the song is a bit cold, not very 'summery.' very contained, not free-spirited, kaya parang pangchristmas.

    Nonetheless, still disappointed with the list.
  • Michelle Mar 13 2010 @ 07:47pm Report Abuse
    The entire 50 First Dates soundtrack is a no-brainer.

    I loove Pure Shores by All Saints!

  • conversationbreak Mar 11 2010 @ 01:52pm Report Abuse
    I love "Edge of the Ocean" and "Kickin' It With You!" Esthero's "Everyday's a Holiday with You" is an awesome summer song, too!
  • lengirl Mar 11 2010 @ 10:47am Report Abuse
    edge of the ocean, pure shores and kickin it are my faves! :)
  • to summergirl Mar 11 2010 @ 10:46am Report Abuse
    holiday doesn't necessarily refer to christmas naman. it means to take a break or vacation.
  • Summergirl Mar 11 2010 @ 10:23am Report Abuse
    HA? BAkit number one ang Holiday? Parang pang christmas new year etc. yan, but not summer.

    Shame these songs weren't included:

    1) Amber - 311
    2) I'll be here a while - 311
    3) Baby I love your way - Blue Mountain
    4) Give it all to me - Sean Paul and Estelle -BEST!
    5) Is this Love - Bob Marley

    For the local artists, I suggest Bamboo Spliff--reggae cebu-based band. They have really great stuff!
