Cruise Music For My Playlist

[boingy300]

I recall this thread a few years ago and can't find it. I really enjoyed it, but it was before I got my IPOD. I am putting together a playlist for great cruise music, for our upcoming cruise. I would love to hear what other people think of when they think "Cruise Music".

I'm pathetic I keep humming "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas, for those hump cabins. LOL.

I'd love to hear what fellow Cruise Critics would put on their IPOD/MP3 player!

Thanks!

Well, you have to have the Buster Poindexter classic, Hot Hot Hot. That always makes me think about cruising. It's a good sail-a-way song.

[boingy300]

I like Christopher Cross - "Sailing" and there was another one I can't recall who does it.

"If there's one thing in my life I'm missing, it's the time that I spend alone. Sailing on the bright and clear blue waters. It's part of a special feeling, being out on the sea alone. The albatros and the whale they are my brothers".

Help a sister out here. Who sings that song?

Thanks!

I would've forgotten the obvious! Thanks so much! Boy that one gets you in the MOOD!

Hey Boingy....

I love that song too. It's "Cool Change" by Little River Band. Ah...love that 70's music!

[CruiseKeeper]

Dollar Wine Dance by Byron Lee and the Dragonaires....classic sail away and pool deck party music.

[boingy300]

Yes- Cool change! I kept thinking "River something". I have to admit I love these boards. Thanks so much guys! Keep the suggestions coming!

[addictedinflorida]

Any Jimmy Buffett is always good :D

[sdcruiser]

Don't forget to add 'Come Sail Away' by Styx...it's also a great sail-away song. We fire it up on our IPOD on our balcony every time..

Perfect, I never knew the name of that song. And what a sexy album cover! I'm glad my 13 yr. old twin boys are at school!lol I have to go leave to work a crazy ER, but I cannot wait to get home and see what others have posted. Thanks everyone. This will make a fun playlist for me to dance to while PACKING!

I'm working on our music now! I have a really eclectic mix that I put together for vacation. Some of these aren't necessarily cruise related, but we heard them on vacation at some point and they became "Our" vacation music.

I can't go to the beach without my Jimmy Buffett!

Also, I highly recommend you download the whole Kenny Chesney CD "Be As You Are, Songs From an Old Blue Chair"--I have been a fan of his for a long time, and I love this CD. He wrote all of the songs from his home or on his boat in St. John--and now that I have been there, those songs on that CD really take me back there every time I hear them, and I have a new appreciation for this music.

Don't forget the Bob Marley either--No Woman No Cry

[RetiredMustang]

Im partial to Bob Marley.

 

Yes! Excellent upbeat songs of his are "3 Little Birds" and "One Love" but I also like the more contemplative "No Woman, No Cry" and "Redemption Song".

 

A few others:

 

* Jimmy Buffet, of course. "Margartaville", "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Volcano" are obvious choices, but don't overlook "We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About", "Tin Cup Chalice", and "Pencil Thin Mustache".

 

* "Southern Cross" by Crosby, Stills and Nash

 

* And of course, how could you do a Caribbean cruise without Bobby Bloom's "Montego Bay"?:D

:D Hands UP!! :D

I never saw the album cover until I did a search after you mentioned it. I sure hope SHE is not on our cruise. I'll be trying to celebrate a 34th anniversary onboard! It's a shame they don't have a "jealous" smiley to insert here.

[CruiseKeeper]

And don't forget O' Solo Mio to remind you of the dancing dining room staff :)

 

That's a good one too. There's a video on youtube of an Italian night in the dining room while the waitstaff sings this. Good times. :)

 

[WindinmySails]

Anything by Bebel Gilberto.

Very sultry, very tropical.

[boingy300]

So nice to come home to all these FRESH ideas for my playlist! Great Job! Keep 'em coming! I feel like Camen Miranda, or as Stephen Colbert said this week on his show, describing Willie Nelson: "He's Like A Rastafarian with Glaucoma". I am ready for the islands and the music!

 

Oh, here's one:

Zombie Jamboree! ( I am most familiar with the group Rockapella's version) It's worth sampling if you are on the same hunt I am on! Enjoy!
