Excellent. It's amazing how many songs with "summer" in their title or their lyrics are really about the fall -- or, more accurately, about the melancholy mood as summer fades to fall. As I'm writing this one immediately comes to mind:

Motels -- Suddenly Last Summer

The ice cream truck in the beginning of the video and then later on is totally relevant to this theme. Martha Davis, who wrote the song, described the childhood memory of an ice cream truck driving around the neighborhood as the sun set earlier in the evening as the unmistakable sign that summer was ending.

I've always thought this was a very underrated 80s hit.
