” ‘Summertime’ by Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince stands out to me because it reminds me of the time I got my first car, a 1978 blue Chevy Monza. I saved up all my money to upgrade the stereo system and that song was one of the first songs I bumped in my car with my windows down so everybody could hear. I had that cassette on repeat all summer long.” — All-4-One’s Jamie Jones
“I remember bangin’ three songs while cruising around Seward Park in Seattle around 1981: Gary Numan‘s ‘Cars,’ Sugarhill Gang’s ‘Rapper’s Delight’ and The B-52s‘ ‘Rock Lobster.’ ” — Sir Mix-a-Lot
