Due to antiquated copyright laws, I cannot include lyrics, not even two words of lyrics for any copyrighted song in my book Summer of Sharona.

However, song titles are not copyrighted and I could legally have one of my characters state how sick a certain song makes them. I could have them say they think the song is trash and that it grows on them like a fungus. I actually have a character in Summer of Sharona say that about one song that was popular in 1979. That is legal, but using song lyrics in any sort of flattering way is strictly prohibited.

Here is a playlist of songs referenced in Summer of Sharona. Some of these songs were formerly sung by various characters, but no longer.
