Each year you won’t be hard pressed to find a song that is considered the official song of Summer. You know it, a song that at first you are not sure if you like it or not, but as the weather begins to heat up the tune sticks in your head. First you will find yourself humming it in line at the ATM, next you are searching the FM dial to get your fix. Chances are you don’t really own the song, otherwise you could just dial it up on your iPod for instant gratification.

The good news is that these kinds of songs have crossover appeal, and you’re likely to find it on a variety of stations that play some from of pop, top 40, alternative or dance. In San Jose and San Francisco Bay Area, we have plenty of those station — which is good, because this year I’ve identifies several songs that seem to make the “Official Song of Summer” cut.

California Gurls by Katy Perry

I already know what you are thinking, but hold on a minute.  Despite the fact that Katy (or at least her fashion stylist) seems to have no idea what Daisy Duke’s really are, and her video destroys any hope of playing Candy Land in the future, this track has all the makings of the Summer hit. With just the right mix of pop and dance, and a little Snoop Dogg sell-out action, and you have a tune that just doesn’t quit. I was also a little let down that all points referenced were southern California – Venice Beach, Palm Springs, and LA — leaving about two-thirds of the Golden Coast untouched. However, the truth is that I can’t help but crank this tune when it comes on in my car, and it bumps even better on a crowded wedding dancefloor.

Lay Me Down by The Dirty Heads

Officially, this track boasts the vocals of Rome Ramirez (of Sublime with Rome), which is only fitting since it has that classic sound made famous by the likes of Sublime in their heyday. When it first came out, I admit that I was not a fan. Then my wife pointed out how she expected it to be a Summertime hit. Billboard‘s Connor McKnight agreed when he wrote in April 2010 that the song is a “solid contender” for song of the summer. Over time, the track has grown on me and the masses when it hit #1 on the Alternative charts in May. A different feel than California Gurls, but certainly has the appeal to keep Summer chill.

Honorable Mentions

These songs had a good chance since, again, they managed to crossover all the charts. Unfortunately, I think they were released just a little to early to stick around as the summer hits. It also doesn’t help that B.o.B. and Ke$ha have new powerhouse hits out ever other week.

• Airplanes by B.o.B. featuring Haley Williams of Paramore
• Tik Tok by Ke$ha
• Hey, Soul Sister by Train

We were both extremely happy with your services and will definitely recommend you to others for future events.  Also thanks for being so flexible with last minute day of changes.  Oh!  We love that you recorded Michael singing the special song during our ceremony!  That was so unexpected and very thoughtful of you.  It’s great because we were talking to each other during his performance and I didn’t actually remember what it had sounded like.  Thanks again!

Here is what Cherelyn had to say in her 5-Star Review on WeddingWire.com:

I have to admit, out of all of the vendors that we worked with, Jason was the one that made me the happiest. He responded quickly to all communication, thought of EVERY little detail that we forgot about, and really created the fun environment that we were wanting for our ceremony and reception. He is very creative, and added a personal touch to our event. Jason spent many hours outside of our actual wedding day, putting extra effort into the planning of our evening. I would totally recommend to any other couple, and for any other event in the future that we’d need his expertise. Definitely a good guy to know.

Wondering what really makes one DJ different from another DJ?  I’m not surprised.  Those bridal magazines get a lot of things right, but most of the time they understate the role of wedding entertainment (that includes wedding bands).  That’s okay, I’ve put together a short list of great questions you can challenge any individual with in the hunt for the best wedding reception:

• How many DJs do you have in your company?
• Are you the DJ that will be at my wedding?
• Do you have another job?
• Can you tell our Love Story if we want you to?
• Do you offer special enhancements, such as lighting?
• Are you a member of any industry organizations?
• I want to involve my wedding party more – can you help?
• How many events will your entire company do in a year (including all your corporate, school, and sporting events for you and your employees)?

It is best if you ask these questions in person.  If you are wondering what my answers to these questions might be, I suggest filling out a Request For Information or giving me a call at (408) 426-8117 or (831) 531-7008 today!
