[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttfIcU6OnTo]With lyrics that seem as though they’ve came straight from a Mungo Jerry hit (‘all I want is endless summer’; ‘school is out’ and ‘hold a beer cos you wanna have fun’) Endless Summer doesn’t disguise behind the fact that, quite frankly, at this time of year a summer themed song sells. However, the Vitamin D is more palatably delivered than
via any pill, and the calypso beats recreate the saccherin sweet pulse of summer. The eighties synths fail to seem original, instead suggesting a foot stuck in last year, the groove potentially seen through too much of a 2010 rehash trend lens. For such a happy song, it’s alright.
