Now this takes me back to when I was, oh, my older daughter's age. The summer this song came out I heard it all the time, and this little celebration of summer love somewhere far away was appealing to a dreamy little kid. All that "In the sun with your dress undone" got me very, well, dreamy. While it was overproduced (as were most LA studio projects at the time), this live clip shows that, at its heart, it was a pretty rocking tune, although the slide guitar is a little gratuitous. Anyway, here's Jay Ferguson's "Thunder Island", making me feel twelve or thirteen or so.
