It wasn’t that long ago that the weather folks were telling us that May was one of the chilliest on record. (For the record it was, at the very least, the coolest May since 1992.) Well things have changed in a hurry as temperatures are forecasted in the mid to upper 90’s through the weekend with heat indexes forecasted as high as 105.
So instead of avoiding the heat we’ve decided to greet it head on with another edition of our cvilleMUSE Mix Tape series. This, not counting our unfinished Poetry Mix, will be our third installment to date and will carry with it a sweltering theme. Hopefully you haven’t forgotten the guidelines. I’ll begin with a video after the jump and then you folks follow with songs to be added to the mix by submitting your additions in our comments section. First come, first serve. We’ll take the first 10 songs and remember to send along a video URL with your song choice.
Our theme for this Mix Tape is: Hot Time, Summer in The City

Great choice Chartreuse! I prefer the Mel Torme version though.
Ok, I not feeling particularly Jazzy today (also Kiss me Kate already went there) so I post a silly summer hit from Germany in the 90ies. It’s a mock version of Sexy Eyes calles Sexy Eis (meaning Sexy Icecream). Even if you don’t speak German you will get the idea.

kool and the gang’s “summer madness”, an instrumental masterpiece for cruising around on a summer evening or just chillin with a cold one. awesome, with killer guitar action.
lividlunch is in at #4 with Kool and the Gang. Unfortunately folks I’ve got to scoot, but I will be updating this post later tonight with videos and credits. Have a great weekend everyone.
alright, things have been updated and new vids have been added. this promises to be our most eclectic mix to date. love it!
how about some good old Perry Farrell / Janes Addiction and the classic Summertime Rolls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL2XWp47QE0
@10. Now we’re cookin’!!! A personal fave jon! i’ll add the video soon. #5 is Jane’s Addiction. thanks buddy!
How about a little tangential hotness related to taking one’s clothes off?
Chuck Brown is Busting Loose!

Also, how come I forgot about that one?

Wow that Chuck Brown one is fantastic! I wish local DJs would observe the Funk more….And the Swing….
The Lazy Sunbathers by Morrissey

For a long time I assumed Morrissey never went outside. But I guess he did just long enough to be sad about those that do.
@7. lividlunch, Summer Madness rocks but Too Hot would have been prevalent to our current conditions. Good choice though.
“Here it is, a groove slightly transformed.” It’s time to think about Summertime with Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff.

[…] cvilleMUSE Mix Tape 3 […]
Can we get this engine running? I’m sure the rescue squad would be happy to give a helping hand…
/Let’s make it hot coz it’s cooled down a little.
Here’s some “Hot Stuff”

That’s trippy, five. I was just prepping a flavor of that song (Sam Mollison’s rock solid remix) to play tonight… was thinking it would make a ‘hot’ opener, in fact. Weird.
Awesome B’Yo. It’s a great opener. You probably have the best mixes ever and I’ll come out one of these days to see you hold it down!
/My personal favorite for dancing, *Calabria 2007*. “woop woop”
Double weird! I was just processing a “clalbria/horny” ‘gaudino/mousse t’ mash up that I haven’t played in a while! (allthough the natasha/mims extended flavor will almost always get folks to the floor)
So tell me, miss cleo, what else am I playin?
If you’re mashing up then I would think one of two.
1. Justin Timberlake vs Sugarhill Gang - Rock Your Body vs. Rappers Delight
or
2. Eurythmics vs Eminem - Sweet Dreams vs. Without Me
You can bleep out the curse words on the Eminem.
B’Yo. How about Axwell’s “Feel The Vibe?”
