I love listening to music. With my cruise almost a year away still, I thought it'd be fun to make a psych-up playlist to listen to while I'm passing the time. What are some of your favorite cruise/ocean/tropical/vacation-themed songs? I'm thinking of things along the lines of:

 

Drift Away

Surfin' USA

Margaritaville

Garth Brooks - Two Pina Coladas

Pink - Get the Party Started

Colbie Caillat - Brighter Than the Sun

the soundtrack to the movie "Cocktail"

the following Kenny Chesney albums:

"Life on a Rock"

"No Shoes No Shirt No Problem"

"Lucky Old Sun"

"Be As You Are"

most any Jimmy Buffet album, but my most favorite is "License to Chill" (this one ALWAYS puts me in a cruise mood) :)

There is an older thread with lots of suggestions at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=247392&page=7

 

But maybe a new thread will spark more responses now!

 

Manheim Steamroller has a great song "Come Home to the Sea" . . . even begins with the sound of waves crashing on the rocks.

 

Theme from Titanic is good, but may send the wrong message LOL. Sarah Brightman has a beautiful version of this in Italian named Il Mio Cuore Va. Emile Pandolfi has a great version of My Heart Will Go On as a piano solo as well.

 

Michael Buble does a fun Caribbean version of "Save the Last Dance For Me"

Been lots of threads on sail away songs also, but I will go ahead and take this time to mention the song of people 40 and under... I'm on a Boat!

Hubby & I both have a playlist to listen to while on our way and while on the ship.

 

Here are some more in addition to what's already listed:

 

Bang on the Drum--Todd Rundgren

Say Hey--Michael Franti & Spearhead

Beer in Mexico--Kenny Chesney

 

Of course, the obvious, Jimmy Buffet songs including Fins. Also It's 5 o'clock Somewhere.
