Listen to all 27 songs from the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack, playlist, ost and score.
- Tim Lowery
- (Sittin’ on the) Dock of the Bay’ by Otis Redding. Okay, so this lazy-day masterpiece, recorded mere days before Redding’s death in a plane crash, doesn’t specifically single out that it takes place during summertime.
- Under the Boardwalk’ by the Drifters. This song is deceptively simple – there aren’t many verses, and there’s a pretty long instrumental interlude right in the middle – but few tunes are as evocative of summer as this one.
- Summertime’ by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Before rushing the stage at the Oscars and proving himself the ultimate Wife Guy, Will Smith just wanted to kick it in the park in a Speed Racer shirt with half the population of Philadelphia around him and reminisce about chasing girls, driving slow and eating barbecue at the family reunion.
- Summer in the City’ by the Lovin’ Spoonful. The Lovin’ Spoonful begins its brilliant rock portrait of urban mood swings in a prelude of pent-up anticipation.
[Verse 1] Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies. Then lock the house up, now you're set. And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis. As cute as ever but they never get...

In a bright and hopeful beginning to 500 Days Of Summer, side-by-side montages of Tom and Summer's childhoods are accompanied by Spektor's cheerful trills, singing of immortality and fun. This introduces the film as predominantly light-hearted despite its bleak depiction of relationships in the 21st century. The song choice bursts with childlike in...
A key quality of any "manic pixie dream girl," despite the fact that it's a term its creator regrets (according to Salon), is a stellar taste in music. Although Summer doesn't technically fit into this category, since she refuses to fulfill Tom's fantasy, this feature remains and allows Summer to quickly seal her grip on both Tom and the viewer. Sh...
Given that The Graduate is one of the key culprits behind Tom's quixotic idea of love, the soundtrack would be incomplete without Simon & Garfunkel. Considering how dear the movie is to Tom, Summer's visible sadness upon watching it, enveloped by the soft guitar, signifies that things are no longer rosy. As Summer grows more distant and Tom strains...
Ending Tom's story with Summer and beginning a new one with Autumn requires the appropriate anthem. Despite what may appear to be a disappointing conclusion to Tom and Summer's romance, this indie-rock tune injects a sense of hope, as Tom offers the camera a knowing look before the number of days drops down to zero, representing a fresh start. RELA...
A peaceful song during a less tempestuous period of Tom and Summer's relationship offers a taste of languorous, everyday bliss not often depicted between the two. Beneath the mellow guitar, however, the lyrics hint towards the approaching breakup and underlying melancholy that infects their relationship. Music is proved to be in the very fiber of t...
Used multiple times in the movie to highlight how Tom's opinion of Summer transforms from adoration into disgust, the song from the romantic classic, Dirty Dancing,accentuates another key attribute of Summer as "manic pixie dream girl," in that she is unattainable. Just like the wind, Summer is impossible to hold onto. At their relationship's begin...
While Tom's love life pre-Summer is not explored in great depth, it can be inferred from his talking head's inability to define love and his sister's advice based on previous relationships that his track record is less than satisfactory.

At the height of his blossoming relationship, Tom finds himself in the middle of his very own musical number, complete with backup dancers and animated bluebirds. The fantastical elements of this scene are complemented by the joyous sound of Hall & Oates to create a sense of euphoria and brand this as Tom's happiest moment onscreen. "You Make My Dr...
Another recycled song, indie-rock classic "Sweet Disposition" charges the film with intense emotion and elation, particularly in its second use. As Tom and Summer interact for the first time since parting ways, they are cast in the warm glow of sunset as the world outside the train window rushes by in a blur, leaving them at the center of it all. A...
(500) Days Of Summer's most gut-wrenchingly real sequence is one that best exhibits Webb's unique directorial style, and it is accompanied by a heartbreaking Regina Spektor song to directly counter the sunny optimism of the opening credits. Two shots of the same scene are displayed side by side to present Tom's expectations of Summer's party versus...
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. You'll wish that summer could always be here. Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. Those days of soda and pretzels and beer. Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer.
"Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer" is a popular song composed by Hans Carste. It was originally written as "Du spielst 'ne tolle Rolle" , with German lyrics by Hans Bradtke (de) , and was first recorded under that title in 1962 by Willy Hagara .
