Every summer seems to have some songs that define the sunny days (I’m so glad to be done with McMahon & Stirling’s “Something Wild” from a few summers ago!). This summer, music that haunts you with slap bracelets has been my earworm. Maybe its a Stranger Things problem?!

I put some tracks below that bullseye exactly for what I’m aiming. I need more for an upcoming family vacation to the North Shore.

What would you add that has that synth, Depeche Mode, 80s vibe that scratches right where the zubas itch?
