I’ve always found the song The Boys of Summer by Don Henley to be a great song, but it also felt like a guilty pleasure. It shouldn’t – there should be no such thing as a guilty pleasure, but that’s how it felt.

I learned today from a YouTube clip that the music for The Boys of Summer was written written by Mike Campbell from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Now I can feel like I knew it was cool all along.

If the original is pure 80s, this cover of The Boys of Summer by The Ataris is pure 2000s.
