TOP OF THE HOT - An alternative to the rain.

Tired of this never-ending winter ?

Of opening your curtains on morning, being afraid to discover (AGAIN) pouring rain, snow, drizzle, icy wind ?

Of this parade of sweaters, ear muffs, fur coats and umbrellas on the street ?

Dreaming of enjoying a cocktail poolside, running around half-naked in a corn field, lying down for hours on the beach slowly waiting for sunburns ?

As we still have more than 100 days to wait before Official summer, I offer a small Top 10 of songs & videos who will give you a glimpse of summer, and eventually cheer you up !

As it's too easy to use the classical "Summertime, Sunny, In the Summertime & Co" & considering the fact that I am not a fan of the "Top Summer Hits 98", this top is a bit different, and will make you discover or re-discover some good and quite recent amazing songs, and/or maybe discovering French acts, as France is well represented in the top !

Enjoy !
