So many.
Walking in the Sand (Remember)- Shangri-Las
Sunny Afternoon-The Kinks
Sealed with a Kiss-Bobby Vinton (I know, kind of cheesy)
Anything by the Beach Boys
Wipe Out-The Surfaris
The Theme to Summer of '42 (The Summer Knows)-Michel Legrand
Summertime-from Porgy and Bess (I really like how Sam Cooke did it)
Another song that is an 80s song but I have to mention it is Circle in the Sand-Belinda Carlisle
There are more but that is all I can think of right now.

Sorry to be so nitpicky, but "Sealed with a Kiss" by Bobby Vinton is from 1972 (awful close though).

No prob. Thanks for correcting me on that. But, like I said, it is still cheesy but I like it.

Maybe you were thinking of the Brian Hyland original 1962 version?
Both are good but sound basically the same.

Yeah, that's it. I knew someone did it before Bobby V. did.
