If Celebrity Cruises had theme music...

[Brisbane41]

Kind of a silly question but there is a back story to it.

 

What music as in songs from any band, artist does Celebrity Cruises tend to stick to on their ships that if you heard these songs on the radio you would instantly think of Celebrity Cruises.

 

The reason I am asking this is because I have a bit of free time this holiday season to finally make some videos of all my past cruises including on Celebrity Solstice. I just want to ass some background music that is reminiscent of what I would hear on the cruise ship. Basically I just use adobe premiere pro to add all my HD video and photos of my cruise and make a short movie out of it that plays in the background on the television.

Based on reading this forum lately I would say the theme from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".

Something with tills ringing in the background and a video of Celebrity accountants counting money......

When Celebrity was in its prime modern luxury mode, the theme song on its ships, phone hold and elsewhere was Over the Rainbow, by Iz. (?) Just about everyone enyoyed it...we miss it.

 

Some genius awhile ago decided to no longer use it...but nothing else has stuck around so far!

 

For poolside parties and live music...the Dollar Song was on many playlists.

 

Now it would be the loud DJ and drum banger or the saxaphonist...(not in a good way!)

I think of David Bowie *Fame* because that was one of the songs they used on their commercial here in the states years back....although wales4ever suggestion conjured the thought of Pink Floyd's song *Money*!:rolleyes::eek::p

[woody14h]

I think that whatever theme music is chosen it would be LOUD!!!

[cruiserhal]

I don't know the exact title of the song but it contains "End of the World as we know it".

There are a few special songs we play on our Bose every cruise....'sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy' perhaps being our theme tune.

 

I hope you enjoy your cruise editing! Every time we put on old cruise recordings we seem to get carried away in a world of 'do you remember when.....?' We rarely complete a final product but it is nice to remember....

 

Really nice idea for a post.

I'm going old school... Pretty much anything by 2 Live Crew. They seem to play the Electric Slide on every Celebrity cruise. or perhaps... Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses.:rolleyes:

I would vote for "Over the Rainbow" or "Celebrate".

[ChucktownSteve]

HA!

 

BTW that IS the title of the song.

[ORV]

HA!

 

BTW that IS the title of the song.

 

Actually the title is "It's the end of the world as we know it(and I feel fine)

[Hlitner]

Hmmm. "Those were the Days?"

I remember them playing the below song on every trip years ago, it was played at the pool area as the ship departed every port.

 

Vangeliis Conquest of Paradise.

 

 

Here's a reference to it in a thread from 2005, I know it was played in the 90s.

Since you might not have liked my other choices. I am pretty sure you should pick any song the includes "The Edge" on guitar. This would keep you up with the future of Celebrity.

[Silvery Seas Cruiser]

Because I generally really enjoy cruises on Celebrity, I would choose Pharell's song "Happy."

My choice as well.

How about OooEee Bob's favorite which he makes everyone sing on board? :D

 

Frankie Ford's, "Sea Cruise."

[richsea]

They used to have Tina Turner's "Simply the Best" as their theme song. Prehaps now it should be "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (Aqua Blues), or maybe "Those Were the Days"

I have that as the ring tone for my Travel Agent. It's always exciting when we hear it coming from my phone.

For me the song Sweet Nothing by Calvin Harris featuring Florence Welch takes me back to my first cruise on Connie in February 2013. The DJ played it a lot at Martini Bar, and they had percussion instruments handy and guests were free to get in on the act. It was very fun and memorable.

 

Alternately, Daft Punk's Get Lucky :D

Hi Steve! I think I have led the singing of Sea Cruise at the Cruise Critic gathering on over 20 cruises. I often get the cruise director, staff officers, and sometimes the Captain himself to join in.

 

OOOEEE Baby :D:D Bob and Phyl
