In this special two-for-one post, I thought I would combine the results of my recent poll about favorite summer songs with the Dish of the Day, which will feature Beach Boys this week. They seem to go together, don't you think? As for your favorite summer song, the winner with 15% of the votes was the 1982 hit, "Vacation", by The Go-Go's.
