Answer: All Summer Long

"All Summer Long" is the title of a song recorded by Kid Rock. It was released in 2008 as the third single from his ninth studio album "Rock N Roll Jesus". The song's beat is actually a mash up of the beats to Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama". To be honest, the first time I ever heard the song I was in the car when the opening beat began to play and I was very confused as to why the local country station was playing "Werewolves of London" until Kid Rock began to sing.
