Hot Fun in the Summertime
Written by Sylvester Stewart and released in August 1969 just prior to Sly and the Family Stone's performance at Woodstock, this song peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is ranked as the seventh biggest U.S. hit of 1969. Rolling Stone ranked it #247 on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time," and it has been named an all-time "summer anthem" by Yahoo! Music and AskMen.
