Every year new songs are produced glorifying summer. Some of the songs are great and other are horrible. We like to focus on the good - and the good news is a Beach Boys song has been voted the best Summer tune of all time. In the bracket style competition done by Yahoo! Surfin' USA came out as the number 1 song.

The final four also included "Vacation" by The Go-Go's, "California Gurls" by Katy Perry, and Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville".

To make it to the end, "Surfin' USA" had to beat "Wipeout", by The Surfaris, "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry, and "Summer Nights" from the "Grease" soundtrack.
