Though summer feels all too far away, spring break (which either has or is currently playing in a city near you) is certain to get us itchin' for some sun and relaxation. In honor of such yearnings, cast your vote now for which lackadaisical summer 60's song is best:
Under the Boardwalk - The Drifters
or
(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding
And nevermind the fact that the latter song has slightly depressing overtones. Summer's all about living in oblivion!

"Under the Boardwalk" is a fine little diddy, but Otis' tune has an undeniable soulful maturity. My vote easily goes to "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay".

Otis all the way.
After waking up to snow this morning I could use some summer. Otis Redding is the clear winner – obviously. Although, the whistling is a smidge embarrassing.
I think I'll have to go with Dock of the Bay- just for the way it feels like summer! Watchin' ti-i-ime! Great tunes! This was a hard one.
I love Otis, he wins. Wait, can I go with the Michael Bolton version instead? Okay, I am just kidding...the only Michael Bolton i enjoy is in Office Space. Why did MB have to go and ruin a perfectly good song?
Sarah, I too like only the Michael Bolton from Office Space. Luckily, I haven't heard the other MB's rendition of Otis' song. But thanks for the nightmares...
