flatman Posted October 26, 2008 #102 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Great suggestions on this thread. Most of my favorites have been posted. Here's another: Drift Away by Uncle Kracker Oh, give me the BEACH, boys, and free my soul I want to get lost in your rock and roll And drift away :) Drift away is originally by Doby Gray who BTW is the black man behind uncle kracker on his video..

Swtgypsy Posted October 26, 2008 #103 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I don't know how this got to be such a popular song played on the cruise ships but "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Chariman of the Board is heard often on many ships. And it is a great beach version of the song. To the question about on line radio stations which play "vacation" songs...the Endless Summer Network plays some really great beach music! Have you heard "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole I love that version. The album is "Alone in iz World" I also like "Islands in the Sun" by Wheezer. I am listenng to all my cruise music right now :D I go onto itunes and put in cruise music and it brings up all kinds of interesting stuff.

parody Posted October 26, 2008 #104 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hot, Hot, Hot is not Jamacian; that soca classic was written and performed by the innovative singer Arrow who is from Montserrat. A great cruise song! Arrow's version can be found , but I still prefer the version sung by . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelligirl Posted October 26, 2008 #105 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Since I am cruising to Panama, "Panama" by Van Halen is a must have. Although it's not about the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzelovr Posted February 9, 2009 #106 Share Posted February 9, 2009 "On a Boat" - by The Lonely Island. A new great tune that should be added to everybody's cruise mix!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare printingchick Posted February 10, 2009 #107 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Got this from someone on my meet & mingle boards: "Where the Boat Leaves From" by Zac Brown Band The lyrics are awesome!! There's a place, where the boat leaves from It takes away all your big problems You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from Take one part sand & one part sea, one part shade of a banana tree The drinks they're cold and the reggae is hot And I know this is the place for me Chorus See the problem is that you're out there And there's a perfectly good island somewhere We’ll all ride the boat, and don't grab your coat You won't need it where we are going Chorus Pick me up Pick me up Pick me up Put me down Down on the sand where its cool Put me down When I fall off my stool Put me down I'll just sleep there ‘till morning comes around With sunshine tan ladies and pina colodas and Bob Marley songs that are playing There's a song in my ear that I want you to hear Soft tropical lips that are saying Get away to where the boat leaves from It takes away all of your big problems You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from... Makes me smile every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasCPA Posted February 10, 2009 #109 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I collect music on itunes, and have since before I got my ipod. You can buy songs for 99 cents, it’s incredibly easy to use, and they can be burned to CD, not just loaded onto the ipod. I would recommend using Amazon.com for MP3 downloads. They cost the same as iTunes, they do not have DRM (digitial rights management) imbedded into them, they have better audio resolution, and they can be easily ported from your computer to your device(s). I download songs I don't already own on CD from there. Anything I already own I rip from the CD of course. :D P. S. For ease of use, my LW and I both use Zunes. She can be computer and technology challenged, and she finds it easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fendbass Posted February 18, 2009 #112 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well, 'swtgypsy' beat me to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole . On our cruise around Hawaii a few years ago, that song played ALL the time. Great song You should give a listen to the LP 'Atlantic Crossing' by Rod Stewart. Two really good songs from that album, 'Stone Cold Sober' and 'I am Sailin' I haven't seen anyone suggest Sailing by Christopher Cross; 'Hawaii' by the Young Rascals oh, and anything by Dick Dale, the 'King of the Surf Guitar' Finally (and I am really dating myself here), the insturmental duo of Santo and Johnny who were big in the late 50's and early 60's (think "Sleepwalk"). They had two albums out that are very easy listening "Hawaii" and "Off Shore"; you can almost hear the waves breaking I could just go on and on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InitialD Posted February 18, 2009 #113 Share Posted February 18, 2009 My favorite cruise song is "I'm on a Boat" by The Lonely Island featuring T. Pain. This comedy group has done a number of songs for Saturday Night Live. Funny but explicit lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMF282 Posted March 14, 2009 #114 Share Posted March 14, 2009 If you really want to get into yhe "Island Mode" go on I-tunes and search "soca" "calypso" "steel drum" or "reggae" that will keep you busy for a while and really give you that "Island feel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
