Its officially Summer on the Gregorian calendar and the weather outside is proof the apocalypse will one day come.

But no June is complete without our favorite playlist. Leslie and Tori and the Happy Hour crew picked our top songs to sing this summer - and with all the creativity they could muster - all of the songs include the word SUMMER!
Actually, we start the top 19 Summer Jams with the only title sans ’summer,’ so beg for sunshine while Donna Summer tells us what Bad Girls we’ve been…

Here is the full list of songs and artists of Happy Hour’s Top 19 Summer Jams:

1 Donna Summer “Bad Girls”
2 Jimi Hendrix “Long Hot Summer Night”
3 Jason Mraz “Summer Breeze”
4 Janis Joplin “Summertime”
5 ABBA “Our Last Summer”
6 U2 “Indian Summer Sky”
7 Girl Talk “Summer Smoke”
8 G. Love & Special Sauce “Rhyme For The Summertime”
9 Boston Symphony Orchestra “Four Seasons: Summer”
10 Pink Floyd “Summer ‘68″

On today’s show, Leslie and Tori are just talking. That’s it. Just like in the old times!

And here is Tori’s favorite music video from the old times, this artifact from the past sadly has fewer views on YouTube than the video of a pomeranian puppy being born, posted by Leslie last year (see that one also below):

This summer Happy Hour is taking you on a world tour of our favorite bars, shops, local bums to throw a penny to and best couches to crash on. (Don’t stop at Tori’s place). And of course we will start our warped tour with the enchanting Astoria - home of your very own Happy Hour wonder women.

Our guest in the studio is Rob, neighborhood guru, and he has an opinion on just about every drink and dessert in our beloved ‘hood. His reviews will make the saliva drip from your hot summer lips.

Here’s a complete list of all our top Astoria picks. We even bothered to list the websites for you:

Kaufman Astoria Studios
Socrates Sculpture Park
Vesta Trattoria & Wine Bar
The Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden
Ovelia Restaurant
Il Bambino Restaurant
Rapture Lounge
Crescent Lounge
Sac’s Place Pizza
Break Bar & Billiards

So, if your summer plans include the Big Apple, don’t be a stranger to Queens. Manhattanites hate tourists. Ride the yellow trains across the East River and enjoy the Greek, Brazilian, Mexican and plethora of flavor in one of the best boroughs in the world. 5 million people live here - we know what we’re drinking.

And of course if your a devoted HH listener, you must let us know you’re here and we’ll have you on the show. Lucky you.

Send us your random news, drink recipes, rants and praises! We love to hear from our fans and foes: cheers@HappyHourShow.com

We have two very exciting guests today. This ain’t your daddy’s sketchy comedy. Welcome The Ice Cream Socialists.

We’ve all needed the Drunk-a-Boo stroller. Find out what accessories you should custom order, Kristin Sears and Minna Richardson of the Ice Cream Socialists are in the studio today, ready to take your order.

Generalize. Discriminate. What’s the difference?

And sometimes those pathetic people trying their best at stand up and failing miserably are the ones we laugh the at the most. Or at least Leslie finds them funny.

Watch this one of many awesome videos by the Ice Cream Socialists, it’s an Infomercial for “Drunk-A-Boo Stroller”, the first line of strollers for the publicly wasted.
