A Sweet Summer's Night On Hammer Hill Lyrics

Oh, I still remember "Regulate" with Warren G.
Could that have been back in the sweet summer of 1993?
It was a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

Oh, the sound of distant carnival drums,
The spanish guitar someone strums,
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

My heart goes like:
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!
Can you hear the beat of my heart?
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!
Can you hear the beat of my heart?
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!

Oh, the memories come a streamin'
When I'm walking 'round here dreamin'
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.
Oh, the memories come a streamin'
When I'm walking 'round here dreamin'
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no no no no no...

Oh no no no!
It's coming back to me.
Oh no no no!
It's coming back to me.
Oh no no no!
It's coming back to me.
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

Oh, I still remember "Regulate" with Warren G.
Could that have been back in the sweet summer of 1993?
It was a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

Oh, the sound of distant carnival drums,
The spanish guitar someone strums,
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no no no no no...

Oh no no no!
It's coming back to me.
Oh no no no!
It's coming back to me.
Oh no no no!
It's coming back to me.
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Regulate" actually came out in 1994. I like the purposefully wrong date. It adds to the idea that he's wistfully recalling the past.

Not to mention that this song is just plain fun.

I got stuck in a Computer Graphics class during highschool and we had to create a slide show of a realllllllly lame/boring/terrible/dull grad fashion show that had a total of 30 people present. I added this song as the audio and made an entirely dismal event look fun. And that's the thing about this song, and many other Jens Lekman songs- listening to this song is fun. It adds a good time to anything

"Oh, the memories come a streamin' When I'm walking 'round in Greenland' It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hil"

I like my version better. Greenland's awesome.

this song was so fun/interactive in concert.. we got to sing the heart-noises.

imo, this song symbolizes that one epic moment, or awesome place that you can recall from a previous summer.
