A playlist such as this must be one that is both upbeat as well as fun in order to fit those warm summer days relaxing at the pool. Yet the songs in the playlist need to have a certain calming sense to them that strays them away from any sort of pump-up music.
Campus-Vampire Weekend: This song has an upbeat tempo consisting of a simple guitar riff accompanied by steel drums giving the music an almost Caribbean sound to it. But the vocals change the tone as they discuss the vocalist's college life.
Stir It Up-Bob Marley: Who wouldn't want to include Bob Marley into their pool playlist. This song contains many of the same instrumental elements as the last, but goes further into the Reggae feel with both the synthesizer and Marley's fantastic vocals.
Santeria-Sublime: Yet another Reggae tinged song, this song continues the upbeat nature of this playlist. Perhaps a tad grungy-er than the other songs, this one is sure to have everyone enjoying their day at the pool.
Kids-MGMT: This song takes a serious turn from the previous songs. Though still upbeat and fun, this song adds a trippy element that the other songs don't have.
Run-The Knux (Feat. Kid Cudi): This song adds more hip hop into the mix. Though this band has somewhat of a hip hop vibe, they still rely heavily on guitar and their vocals in order to create a sound that is very different from others.
