The musicians call their video “Summer 2015” and it features 11 wildly popular tunes, including “CoCo” by O.T. Genasis, “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson, “Cheerleader” by OMI and “Bitch Better Have My Money” by Rihanna. The trio records these tunes on a gorgeous secluded beach for optimal summertime vibes. You’ll notice that a few so-called songs of summer are missing, like “Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap, “Shut Up and Dance” by Walk the Moon and “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift. Who knows–maybe L.E.J will make another video incorporating those jams too. _Read next:_[ _One of These Songs Will Be This Year’s Song of the Summer_](http://time.com/3907828/song-of-the-summer-2015-playlist/ "undefined") ### Artists Who Have Never Won A Grammy  Queen John Rodgers—Redferns/Getty Images  Jackson 5 Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images  Spice Girls Ray Burmiston—Photoshot/Getty Images  GLENDALE, AZ - FEBRUARY 01: Recording artist Katy Perry performs onstage during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show at University of Phoenix Stadium on February 1, 2015 in Glendale, Arizona.
