As scorching temperatures broke daily records in 12 cities in Ontario and another dozen communities in Quebec Thursday, many beleaguered looking folks around this city's downtown were crying out for any location that could provide some respite from the heat.

But not everybody was complaining about the sizzling summer weather; in fact, one CBC News employee cheerfully noted the thermometer-popping temperatures reminded her of her all-time favourite summer tunes.

In addition to prompting some heated discussion amongst Community team members, the mention of summer music also sparked an idea - if many Canadians are going to be sweating it out for a few more days, they may as well have a decent soundtrack running in the background.
