Excellent choice. I am pretty confident that will make the final cut.
However, you neglected to post the year of release. Which is 69 so don’t bother. You get deducted a small bit for that omission.

Did you edit your original.post as I saw nothing about the year. Not sure what relevance that has anyway.
Some moron will be along shortly to post that Boys of Summer dirge and should be banned for it.
I hope you’re not accusing me of editing a post cc. @Brimmer_Bradley. The original and only opening post asked for the year of release. Edit your post or face elimination.

Island in the Sun- Weezer (2001)
Late summer 2001 this simple little ditty was released and the Chicken Box in Nantucket added it to the jukebox. A simple, Beach Boys esque, effort it was the song of the summer and we would belt it out multiple times night after night. The music stopped when Al Qaieda crashed two planes into the WTC and we scarpered home as soon as we coukd get a flight
