Do you have a "cruise song?"

[kicker]

50 replies, and no one mentioned the Theme From the Titanic??:rolleyes:

"The Cruise" by Barefootman.

[CRUZBUDS]

A lot of great songs mentioned -- one of ours is Sail Away by Enya :)

 

[oldrailfan]

Ever since Carnival started using it: "Bang on the drum" by Todd Rundgren(sp?)

"Kokomo" by the Beach Boys

"Blue Bayou" by either Roy Orbison or Linda Ronstadt

I'm an old fart - "Quiet VIllage" by Martin Denny

Anything played on steel drums. First note and my mind is on the ship... ;)

Anything played on percussion instruments (Xylophone, Marimba, etc.) that would sound good on Steel.

You know, that ONE song that when you hear it, instantly reminds you of your best cruising memories. Mine is "Cool Change" by Little River Band.

 

"If there's one thing in my life that's missing

It's the time that I spend alone

Sailing on the cool and bright clear water"

 

Hearing that line always brings me right back to those relaxing, carefree balcony moments...just staring at the sea.

 

Yours?

 

"Glory Days" by Bruce Spring

[TexanTodd]

Another one that I love, but is kind of seasonal ... "All I want for Christmas is a real good tan" by kenney chesney ...

[RICKnVICK]

Darius Rucker with Brad Paisley singing "I Don't Care"!!!! Check it out!

Can anybody tell this technological neanderthal how to make a CD for the drive down to Port Canaveral?

[lorib927]

Many things come to mind but this one is Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis. It's not a Carnival cruise but the Royal CLipper- if you ever want to do something unique and adventurous, this is it. Every time the ship sailed, they play this song as they raise the sails. It's very moving and impressive.

Ours is 'Low' by Flo-Rida. It's the one they play in the dining room a lot. Brings back memories of our family cruise to Mexico, but mostly it has become my DH's 'song'. He is a total geek at heart, however when he hears this he puts his hands up and starts moving! :D At DD's wedding last year she requested it and he got on the dance floor with the kids and threw his hands up and 'shook his groove thing'!! This is a man who only ever agrees to dance a slow dance with me maybe one time! So funny, but lots of cruise memories attached to this song!

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N....Connie Francis 1962

[skyeman27]

When cruising and if there is a full moon the song is 'Cruise to the Moon' by the Chaperones (doo wop group) 1960

[happycampers_1]

Thunder Island by Jay Ferguson. old song but a good one

[kristy29]

Another one that I love, but is kind of seasonal ... "All I want for Christmas is a real good tan" by kenney chesney ...

 

Wow, I just listened to this one! We will be on a cruise December 15th-22nd, so this song is perfect!!

[cruisin blue]

Zac Brown Band's ... "Get Away To Where the Boat Leaves From"!

Best Friend by Queen. Anytime I hear that intro now, I immediately think of a Carnival cruise.

 

For me its Margaritaville, or Escape (Pina Colada Song).

OT zeroyankee-I absolutely LOVE your avatar. Go cards!

They did this when one evening in the MDR when the waiters were dancing on our cruise in April. DD was 15 months at the time and she just loved it. She was squealing. I don't think I have ever seen her so excited. Great memory.

The wife and I only listen to hard rock music, but all the music on the decks get stuck in your head. I now find myself singing along to Katy Perry.

This and his other... Toes!

[CruizenSusan]

I know it's kinda silly - but I love to hear "Under the Sea" from Little Mermaid.

[YubaSutter]

Inner Circle "Sweat... a La La La Song " ... That one always gets my feet moving and my hips a shakin!

 

Yep, nothing like a song about stalking and rape to get the feet moving. :rolleyes:

[KingCrimson]

Kokomo by the Beach Boys

[Herfnerd]

Ditto Flo-Rida's "Low" - always reminds me of the MDR

 

That and.....for whatever Gawdawful reason, whenever we are getting our embarkation pix taken, I keep hearing Jack Jones singing "The Love Boat" in my head, lol!!! :eek::confused::eek::confused:
