The Decoder

Last month we asked our readers to give us the hot summer jams we need on our iPods for the last few days of summer.  Cheri Keith of RacePoint Group, Amanda Dickson of Altitude Marketing, and  Eric Davies of Davies Murphy Group, Inc. gave us their top summer downloads, so grab your iPods and get them up to speed for Labor Day!

Cheri’s top downloads are:

1.) “Shake Your Tail Feather” Nelly and Diddy
2.) “Rock the Boat” Ashanti
3.) “Fantasy” Mariah Carey

(Classic beach boardwalk jams, we’ve got to say…)

Our favorite of Amanda’s jams include:

1.)  “Summer of ‘69″ Bryan Adams
2.)  “Dream Girl” Dave Matthews Band
3.)  “Summer Love” Justin Timberlake

(Editor’s note:  Do we really like Justin Timberlake’s songs, or Justin Timberlake in general… something to think about.)

And finally, last but not least, Eric’s ‘tried and true’ summer favorites are:

1.)  “Summertime” Sam Cooke
2.)  “Beach Baby” First Class
3.)  “Summertime” by Will Smith

(We knew Will Smith would make top choices, but we are still giving “Welcome to Miami” a big shoutout,  you know you love it.)

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, and congratulations to our winners; we are sending you $25 to iTunes.  Check back soon for next month’s giveaway.
