BuzzFeed.com put together this list of all the #1 hit summertime records from 1940-2009. It includes such earworms as “The Macarena” (1996, 16 weeks at #1) and “The Woody Woodpecker Song” (1948, 6 weeks), classic hits like “Satisfaction” (1965, for only 4 weeks) and “Mrs. Robinson” (1968, 3 weeks), novelty songs like “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini” (1960, only 1 week) and “Purple People Eater” (1958, 6 weeks), and completely forgettable pop music from six decades. With relevant links to YouTube videos and other music sources for almost every single one.
I recommend running all those YouTube links through Video2MP3.net so you can create a playlist for your Summer of 2010 listening pleasure.
