College DJ Andy Davids promoted an uptempo television theme playlist at the time, that included "Hi Summer" along with the theme tunes from "Happy Days" by Pratt & McClain as well as the Muppet Show. Although it did not reach the UK Singles Chart, in part due to lack of BBC radio play, it peaked at number 4 on the official Rhodesian singles chart, having been released on the Gallo label and made number 10 in the South African chart, having been released on DJM Records. It is also mentioned in the book La saga de Roy Wood Brumbeat forever by Vincent Lasserre, as is "My Girl and Me". Later, the song was also used to advertise ITV's weekly magazine TVTimes and its affiliated regional commercial television channels,. "Hi Summer" was also included as an album track on the 1977 compilation album, T.V. Themes, released on the DJM/Weekend Records label. It receives occasional radio airplay in the U.S. (en)
