And I remember being a kid sitting in the back of the bus and just totally zoning out to this song.ĭJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE: (Singing) School is out and it's sort of a buzz. So for me, this song really evokes riding the elementary school bus in Kalamazoo, Mich., going to school. KRISHNAMURTHY: "Summertime" dropped in 1991, and back then I was too young to have my license. The music is so melodic and romantic and just evokes breezes and warm summer nights.ĭJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE: (Singing) Here it is the groove slightly transformed, just a bit of a break from the norm, just a little somethin' to break the monotony of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be a little bit out of control. SOWMYA KRISHNAMURTHY: This song is the quintessential summer road trip song. Her pick, "Summertime," by DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, better known now as Will Smith.ĭJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE: Drums, please.
