Bullion - "Time for Us All To Love" gives me a summer vibe this year.
(Sorry, no good for those happy listening to old sh1t year after year. And if anyone mentions Will f*£!ing Smith I'm leaving this forum for[s]ever![/s] an hour or so!)
Special One by Ultra Vivid Scene is one of my fave summer tracks:
Hell, the whole album 'Joy 1967-1990' is a great summer listen.
So many to choose from, but some other great lazy summer tunes for me would be:

Listening to lots of Os Novos Baianos at the moment - a 70s Brazilian rock group along the lines of Os Mutantes. They look like a bunch of scary hippies and have some amazing songs and great chops (both musical and mutton). Here's some scratchy old footage of them:

Lazer Guided Melodies- Spiritualized
Seasons in the sun ?? (just in case you get too happy)

What did I do wrong? Will your link update if I add more tracks?
Feeder: Just a day
Cheap: Trick Auf Weirdesain??
Damned: Smash it up
Queens of the stone age.. fell good hit for the summer 😀
Not much!! Your link pointed to your own playlist as if you were using it. My link is exactly the same playlist (and so will always be relevant), but accessible to all.
Simples!

Second Toots and the Maytals. Perhaps a dash of Astrud Gilberto's Beach Samba to loosen up to:
