Summer (War song)

"Summer" is a song by the band War, recorded on April 4, 1976 and released on June 21, 1976, as a single from their Greatest Hits album in 1976. "Summer" peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart, hit number four on the R&B chart,^[1] and reached number one on the Easy Listening chart. It was one of three entries to make the chart.^[2]

Lonnie Jordan recalls the jingle from Burger King at the time, "Have it your way", was so catchy that he "borrowed" it as the melody for the line, "'Cause it's summer..."^[3]
