Aaahhh the sweet sounds of summer. You worked hard on keeping your body tight all year just to let it all go for a good summer barbecue.
The sizzle of burgers on the grill, the yelp of excitement each time a new guest enters the patio, and of course the perfect music mashup of feel-good classics from every genre and era.
No summer BBQ experience is complete without sounds of Bob Marley, Tom Petty, and The Beastie Boys cascading in the background. As you prepare for your annual Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and “Just Because” grill out days, kicking off your playlist will be one less thing to worry about.
Update: We beef-patty’d it up with 10 more songs right before the weekend, per YOUR song requests. Wolly Bully seems like the perfect bun-toasting number, no?
