Need help identifying a song

[chuckywang]

This song sounds like a Lindsay Buckingham (from Fleetwood Mac) type song. It has a "summer fun" type of feel to it. I would say it's very similar beat-wise to Holiday Road, but that's not it. The beginning melody is VERY famous ... I've heard it in commercials I think.

And no, I don't remember any lyrics. Urgh ... this will be difficult. Any ideas?

The Frog Chorus by Paul Mccartney - probably damaged a few people's days there

My friend all of a sudden started humming it in the car randomly ... We both have since forgotten the tune.

Too vague. Need more details.

Taking a wild shot here.

Here's an idea: just go through top 500 compilations of the 80's and 90's. You're bound to run across it.
