Dude, calm down. It's not a ghost. It's just music.You can't touch music, but music can touch you.

~ Mordecai after Rigby is unable to phisically attack the Summertime Song, as well as one of the most famous quotes of the episode.
The Summertime Song is the main antagonist in the Regular Show episode "This is My Jam". It also appears in the episode "Exit 9B".
He is a manifestation of the song "Summertime Loving, Loving in the Summer (Time)", by the band Solid Bold, which was Rigby and Mordecai's favorite song during High School. The song comes to life after escaping Rigby's head and begins stalking the duo, becoming a nuisance for everyone in the Park.
Mordecai and Rigby discover an old tape while cleaning the top of the park house from the roof titled "Summertime Loving, Loving in the Summertime" by a fictional band known as "Solid Bold". Later on, they listen to the song for nostalgia sake. But then it gets stuck in Rigby's head. After the song starts to possess Rigby and takes over his mind, Mordecai gets freaked out and approaches Skips in order to solve the problem. Skips claims that some sleep would solve the problem. When Rigby was asleep and started dreaming, The Summertime Song was released. When Rigby woke up, the Summertime Song was manifested into its physical form and appeared in Rigby's room, dancing, singing and playing the song.
After it emerged from Rigby's head, it started to interfere with everyone else in the park. In order to fight back against the Summertime Song, our heroes were left with no other choice but to combat it using their own catchy song. So Mordecai asks Rigby for a list of things that he likes and converts them into a song, therefore creating the "Aww Snap" song. The park crew then approach the Summertime song and perform the song. However, the Summertime Song is not yet defeated until Benson arrives. Benson brings out a drum kit that he brought with him on his golf cart and helps the crew perform the Aww Snap song thus finally leading to the Summertime Song's destruction.
The Summertime Song makes its return in Exit 9B as one of the many revived villains thanks to Garrett Bobby Ferguson Jr. but is easily destroyed by Mordecai after being whacked by his baseball bat.

Lyrics[]
“
Verse 1:
It's summertime and you know what that means.
Gonna head down to the beach, gonna do some beachy things.
It's summertime, it feels just right.
Gonna gather all my friends and we'll party through the night.
Chorus:
It's summertime luh-uh-loving.
It's loving in the summertime.
It's summertime luh-uh-loving.
Oh baby, why can't you be mine?
Verse 2:
It's summertime and I just can't wait.
Gonna call you on the phone, gonna take you on a date.
It's summertime and I hope you like steak.
Gonna take you to a restaurant, and eat enough fillet.
[Chorus]
Verse 3:
It's summertime and when dinner's done.
Gonna take you to the club, gonna dance and have some fun.
It's summertime and when the end is near.
Gonna put you really close, whisper "let's get out of here".
[Chorus]
[Repeat Verse 2]
[Chorus]

Trivia[]
The Summertime Song was sung by Sean Szeles, who also wrote and storyboarded the episode.
Summertime Song can touch people and physical matter, but people can't physically touch it because it's basically music (as Mordecai puts it, "You can't touch music, but music can touch you").
Though on an interesting side-note, Mordecai could simply destroy Summertime Song with a baseball bat in Exit 9B. This is possibly because of some flaw associated with Bobby Ferguson Jr's revival process in which certain revived antagonists are weaker and much more easier to kill off.
It's only weakness is really catchy songs such as Aw, Snap!.
The cut verse of the Summertime Song [WARNING: Explicit]
Originally, the full version of the song contained a dirty line in the third verse which was "It’s Summertime, I want to come in, gonna take off all my clothes and put my balls on your chin", which was censored for obvious reasons. However, in the Norwegian and Dutch dubs for the episode, the verse was accidentally played during the montage where Mordecai and Rigby are trying to avoid the song.
In the audio fight, the Summertime Song and the Regular Show Gang emit an illusional guitarist, each wielding a guitar. Both are colored a different color: purple and green. This is a reference to Big Trouble in Little China, where Egg Shen and David Lopan have a sorcerers duel, using illusionary Chinese warriors, one purple (Shen) and one green (Lopan).
The Summertime Song is one of the enemies that appear in the video game Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-Bit Land.
