On a slow news day, the BBC "reports" some rules about a summer hit tune. In summary:
- It has to be simple.
- It should make you feel like you're on holiday.
- Novelty is everything.
- Radio-friendly songs make bigger hits.
- It should be released before the summer.
- But it should have the word "summer" in the title.
If simplicity and novelty are the most important then this summer's hit could be Beep! Beep! I'm A Sheep!

As Axis of Awesome demonstrated [youtube.com], you just need to follow one of a few very simple 4-chord patterns, and boom, you have a hit pop song. And as was also demonstrated by a documentary entitled Before the Music Dies, you don't even have to be able to sing [youtube.com].
