Modest Mouse - Summer Lyrics






wake-up we're stealing cars
1996 1997 1998 we're all waiting for the year 2000
just the smell on the summer can make me fall in love
we go to the parties listen to the DJ's
dance dance dance and go crazy
she's a party queen an she's in party heaven
her clock is stuck on late
got a first name basis at 7-11
hold the slip slide taste the sweat it's salty
irrigation ditch and a swimming hole
nation-wide loved the movie

    HHhhhmmm...

    I Like This Song

  2. F.... D....

    Maximum mouse and maximum 90's. This might be the most 90's song, tbh.

    F.... D....

    Also this is a criminally underrated bass line

  3. A.... E....

  4. K.... W....

    Will always be a favorite modest mouse song for me

  5. l.... ....

    damn, who's pagin' me now?

    l.... ....

    Your mom.

    l.... ....

    She's worried that you're obsessed with Modest Mouse. You're on almost every comment section.

    l.... ....

    Its the greatest line actually!

    l.... ....

    @Adrian Huth its my favourite too

  6. b.... 8....

    such a classic album

  7. a.... ....

    0:46 Wow orgasmic guitar sounds! I am 28 and I have listened to A LOT of music. Lots of hip hop, metal, classic rock, lots of electro/house. But nothing, NOTHING I have heard I like more than Modest Mouse! I never get old of their music! This album especially is such a hidden little gem!

  8. s.... ....

    Does anyone else hear Starman at the beginning of this song?

  9. J.... R....

    Bystanders were

  10. M.... C....

    This is a highly underrated EP. It definitely isn't their best work. But this one and "Dirty Fingernails" are definitely hidden gems.

    M.... C....

    The Fruit That Ate Itself is my favorite song of all time

    M.... C....

    +Chardee MacDennis It seriously has a phat fucking baseline! Crazy groovy beat lol.

    M.... C....

    I had this and Interstate 8 on one side of a tape, good times walking around.

    M.... C....

    What about the waydown

  11. j.... ....

    this album is a fucking gem 

  12. d.... ....

    theres a couple with the same strum pattern. Lounge, truckers atlas

  13. T.... H....

    This was probably their biggest hit or miss album, but it had a few great songs like this one.

  14. M.... B....

    It seems like Trucker's Atlas to me, or Lounge.

  15. I.... P....

    All nite diner or other peoples lives?

  16. L.... M....

    lounge closing time!

  17. N.... P....

    lounge (closing time)

  18. l.... ....

    i like to danceanadanceandance and get crazy danceanadanceadance go crazy.. thats just how i roll

  19. l.... ....

    Do you mean Lounge?

  20. L.... S....

    for me it will always remind of the winter when I spent riding the Summit Stage bus in Breckenridge, CO when I didn't have a vehicle. Not just this song but four other albums by Modest Mouse. This song was just one of my favorites. Also, Where You Been by Dinosaur Jr reminds me of winter while Jar of Flies reminds me of summer, when it rains. I got off topic but this song has it's own season for me to enjoy.

  21. C.... ....

    great bass-playing, nice sound.

  22. j.... ....

    Lounge. Lounge (Closing Time)

  23. t.... b....

    thanks you are correct sir

  24. I.... S....

    the view

  25. t.... ....

    i can hear doin the cockroach

  26. N.... I....

    to me it sounds like lounge (closing time)

  27. K.... ....

    "Damn, who's paging me now?"
    That's the most 90's line ever.

  28. G.... L....

    You my friend are totally correct! +1

  29. T.... m....

    Sounds a bit like Lounge from Lonesome to me.

  30. P.... ....

    doin the cockroach?

  31. J.... M....

    "she's got a first name basis at 7-11"

  32. A.... C....

    I've noticed that too! The other song is called lounge (closing time)

  33. T.... ....

    whoops i just realized like a million other people came to the same conclusion lol sorry.

  34. T.... ....

    Lounge?

  35. j.... ....

    maybe lounge (closing time) off the lonesome crowded west? not exactly the same but i thought the same thing.

  36. s.... ....

    Lounge (Closing Time)?

  37. t.... b....

    yep it reminds me of lounge. ahhh.. i feel soo much better now. relieved. thanks

  38. G.... ....

  41. l.... l....

    @MrAncientAstronaut im gunna have to agree with this, but my favorite album is lonley crowded west

  42. S.... W....

    @surfthestreets21 I ran into him on State St in Madison WI, a couple 5-6 years ago. They had a show that weekend, and I just happened to spot him on the street. Of course nobody else knew who he was, BUT I DID!!! (Giddy) :) I said "hi" talked for a couple minutes about this and that, he's a real chill dude. Also got to tell him he is my favorite band member by far! "Your awesome!!" Such a good experience. :)

  43. T.... S....

    at first i didnt like the "damn,who's paging me now?" part.
    now its like my favorite part lol.

  44. R.... C....

    u ppl r crazy. every song on moon & antartica is better than this. this is not even the best song on this record.

  45. K.... K....

    just the smell of summer can make me fall in love .. ♥

  46. G.... ....

    @surfthestreets21 he still is. The only time he wasn't is when he took a break in 2004 to work with another band and he also had a nervous breakdown, but he returned later that year

  47. K.... K....

    Fucking love this song, listened to it all summer long!!!

  48. G.... N....
