Any particular tunes that take you back to a sing song around an open fire in the allotment on August bank holiday?

Plenty of 80's europop to remind me of various holidays across the European hotspots of the era including the lesser admitted to acts such as Modern Talking.
Tenerife 87 was a musical awakening as there was a bar in Veronicas complex called Bonkers Show Bar and the Cypriot DJ Mad Mario would play all manner of weird songs but that just worked together including Blues Brothers, Rocky Horror Show, a song from a Thunderbirds soundtrack and Nutrocker through to his own renditions of songs with actions and altered lyrics.
Went to the US in 1990 and, being young and stupid, ended up in a nightclub in New Orleans rather than enjoying the delights of Bourbon Street. However, at one point they played this new track and the dance floor was instantly packed. When me and my mate heard this track, we thought is sounded quite catchy and might so well if released in the UK. The song in question - U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer.

First holiday without the parents - summer 1983 camping in Jersey with 3 mates. Soundtrack was the entire Festive 50 from 1981 and Killing Joke's Revelations. The Festive 50 included this little ditty:

Had a great holiday in Playa de las Americas in April 86. We liked a small club upstairs on the street side of the Veronica Centre.
In Ibiza, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, (and Coasters, Brighton!), DJ's played great euro-pop/euro-disco and some from north america. I managed to build a collection from Rounder Records. Some made it into UK charts.

Summer 1977, last family holiday (thankfully ever) in a rented bungalow outside Falmouth.
A fortnight watching it piss it down with rain.
Not allowed to booze by parents as only 16 although they must have known I had been doing it for a while.
Fairly certain back in Cheshire my girlfriend is seeing one of my older Brothers mates (19 and has a Sports Car the C**t).
Not a happy bunny.
Ironically this is being played to death on the radio.

We went on a scout camp to a place near Hailsham/Polegate that August (77). It rained so much, rivers of mud, that it was abandoned.

This was played every night at the start of the entertainment on our honeymoon. Brings a smile to my face every time I hear it.
Also back in the pre smartphone days I had a phone that had 3 MP3s on it when I went on holiday to Kos with my now wife so we listened to them constantly, I am now unable to listen to any of these with her in the room.

No matter where you go on your hols, I'm sure there is music that brings all the memories flooding back.
Over to you
My immediate reaction was "what an odd thread" as I first read the title as "music that reminds you of your vaccinations". I did actually for a few seconds try and think of a song and was struggling before I reread it.
We have US based members of NSC. OP is being inclusive. Don't be such a little Englander thread derailer.
Don't encorage him.

I'll raise you a Broadstone Warren and Boney M
We went there several times, the first in heatwave August 1976.
I've just cheated and glanced at the music chart at the time. Just pre-punk, god it was shocking ... mainly dross from 1 to 50 IMO.
But this stood out:
