The other immediate one to pop to mind is 4th of July by X, but that doesn't feel very punky to me. posted by Cool Papa Bell at 3:06 PM on June 5, 2008

if you can deal with the dreaded folk punk, then the ghost mice's boy meets girl:
Today's too nice
To spend it any other way than riding on our bikes
Today's too great
The weather outside's perfect and I insist that we stay up real late
Today's too wonderful
To worry about anything on our list of things to do
Today is perfect posted by carbide at 3:21 PM on June 5, 2008
If you can stretch your definition of punk to include the Meat Puppets (country-punk, and they were on SST!), then 'Swimming Hole' from 'Up On The Sun' is a great summer song. posted by Flashman at 3:26 PM on June 5, 2008
