Cruise Tunes: What Song(s) Get You Excited About Cruising?

[BecciBoo]

Only Hot Hot Hot for us, the first tune the pool band played on our first cruise on Rhapsody and the first tune I want to hear now unless we're going to Alaska;)

 

We usually do sailaway from our balcony now but our little mini speakers are playing our tune anyways:D

[PSCruiser]

The RC Classic - Lust for Life, Iggy Pop

Still wish they'd bring it back, all I'd need is one listen on TV and I'd be on the computer booking something new!

 

runnerup is Beach Boys Kokomo

[ValerieJo]

Ours has to be Buffalo Soldier by Bob Marley. It seems like the first song we hear once we arrive on the ship and head to the pool area.

Could You be Loved - Bob Marley

[Plantcitycruise]

Sail Away - David Gray

 

We always play it when we are loading car to head to the port.

[davekathy]

Any song with the sound of steel drums in it.

The song "let me take you on a sea cruise"

[clean1owner]

Sail Away (Enya)

 

 

RCCL used to use it in their TV ads, and for me it is a perfect fit for cruising.

Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles!

 

During my first cruise on Allure, Bee Movie was playing A LOT and I happened to always turn on when the song was playing. When I got home I heard The Beatles version and now, every time I hear it, it reminds me of cruising!

 

Jo :)

 

This is my absolutely favorite Beatles song of all time and one of my overall favorites. I never thought of it as being a cruising song until now.

 

Thanks!!

 

I was going to say the song from The Love Boat. It's on TV in Chicago every Sunday at 2pm and I've been watching it for the past several weeks in anticipation of my upcoming cruise, which is now only 7 days away.

To prepare for an upcoming trip on Allure of the Seas next month, I am going to make a playlist of music that gets me (even more) excited about cruising.

 

What song(s) would be on your playlist?

I wonder is most know that Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" is a song about his hard-living life as a heroin addict, with references to to liquor, drugs, "flesh machines" and stripteases?

[norcalemt02]

Black eyed peas - I gotta feeling.

 

My unofficial theme song for "the quest"

Just heard this on the radio and made me think of this thread:

Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah-oh-oh

Oah-oah-oah-oah-oah-oh-oh

[clackey]

Kokomo

Beach Boys

 

 

Aruba Jamaica-oh I wanna takeya to

Bermuda

Bahamas come on pretty mamma.................

Gotta have Kokomo (Beach Boys), Margaritaville (Buffett), Sittin on the Dock of the Bay (Ottis Redding), and Sailing (Christopher Cross).

 

I have a friend who went on an Alaskan Cruise. He tears up every time he hears Creedence sing, Have You Ever Seen The Rain and Who'll Stop The Rain. Says that it brings back old memories.:rolleyes:

Levels - Avicii

Lust For Life - Iggy Pop

 

Actually the song is "Good Feeling" by Flo Rida. It may sound like the Avicii song, but it is not.

 

...And I remember a travel show a few years ago when everytime we went past the RCCL area, we heard the Iggy Pop song. It really has nothing to do with cruising, but will always remind me of cruising.
