Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks
Yep, you know it's summer when songs like this walk into your life. It is, by definition a summer hit. It's got feel-good factor, is as innocent as a squirrel, happy like a dolphin (...) and catchy... like a frisbee! Okay, sorry about that last sentence but christ! I love this song!

I know nothing of these guys, apparently they've released a few albums in Scandinavia and no-one seems to put a comma in their band title, which is actually a relief because I'm sick of over-punctuated band names right now. So to me, this band and this song both seem pretty fresh - another reason for me to love it.

Accompanied by a great video (which you can see on our Dirty Videos page) and the lovely vocals of Victoria Bergsman of the Concretes, Peter Bjorn and John portray this simple summer pop song about two people falling in love with all the happiness it's intended with and it's bound to play some role of importance in your soundtrack to the summer.

Listen to it and enjoy!
