What song reminds you of cruising?

[suepell]

the cupid shuffle and the rest of the on deck line dances. I agree with anything by Bob Marley or his offspring.

[Eliot Ness]

"The Ark" by Gerry Rafferty

(obscure album cut, sorry!:D )

Not much is too obscure for You Tube (not sure this is the same song you're talking about):

 

 

I also found one for the 1959 Sea Cruise by Frankie Ford:

And here are some pictures (slide show) from someones cruise on the Fantasy set to the same song:

The above slide show shows almost everything that is great about a cruise, it even co-stars Funship Freddie.

Also.... Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks. We are not country fans at all, so we had never heard this song until one of our cruises. Since then, we have heard it ONLY on cruises and every one!

 

I wonder if it is the version with the special "third verse" that gets everyone going each time where at the end he sings "And you can kiss my a$$"...

 

LOL.. it's a hoot!

[fireofficer5]

I'm showing my age here... If they could see you now, out on a Funship Cruise! They used to play that at sailaway on Carnival's Holiday.

OK, but how many remember the original carnival sail away song. 1974. Mardi Gras. Anchors aweigh.

[pkrchkr]

Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?( no idea who sang it!!!)

[tammyrs]

 

RED RED WINE

Ha... I am bored today!

 

[Eliot Ness]

That's Sea Cruise by Frankie Ford (1959). Post #77 has a You Tube link for the song.

Hotel California... On our 1st cruise, many, many moons ago, as we were sailing away from Cozumel(at sunset), Hotel California came on the jukebox. It was the perfect setting with the perfect song. Ever since then, when I hear the song, I can close my eyes.....:)

[missygirl]

Don't worry...be happy!!!:D

 

This was played over and over on our first cruise in 1991 so it stuck in my mind.

Yup, got to be "Beyond the Sea" by Bobby Darin, and of course any steel drums....and of course Jimmy Buffett and.....lol

Great thread, thanks for sharing all.....:D :)

[Wennfred]

The Cha Cha Slide is one of them. Every cruise we get up there and do this dance, because it is the easiest to follow!

I found this clip on You Tube.. sound familiar?

"Beyond the Sea" by Kevin Spacey(does a great Bobby Darin)....Awesome movie too...

 

[jostvandyke]

Anything Kenny Chesney especially Be As U Are, Tequila Loves Me and Beer in Mexico!!!:D

[AndrewTH]

"Sailing" by Christopher Cross

 

I second that one.

[RVman]

Sittin on the Dock of the Bay by Ottis Redding

[petro772]

"The Ballad Of The Yarmouth Castle" is one of my favorites. A catchy tune about a cruise ship from Miami to Nassau. ;)

[mojo2rusty]

I have a CD that I bought a couple years ago at Target. It's simply called Caribbean Steel Drums, Sea Scapes. It's instrumental soft steel drum music. I go to sleep to it every night. Got this at one of those displays where you punch the button and listen to clips from the CD.

As for other music I have to agree with about everyone else on here. HOT HOT HOT is most definitely a cruise song and anything Jimmy Buffet.

Fred, I will be reading your wonderful review... I am sure of it!

 

Be sure to write if you go a chance to do the Cha Cha Slide!

[haveanotherbeer]

The song was Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani :)

[SunshneNC]

"Sailing" by Christopher Cross

I always add this song to my myspace page when I'm getting ready to go on my cruise. :)

[GeekyMom]

Never really thought about it, but now that I think about it, the Commodores song: "Sail On."

[Point Man]

:) Oh I do so love "Fun, Fun, Fun" by the Beach Boys. Was the song being played in the Carnival Commercials in 2003 when I did my first cruise. Also the two Enya songs on sailing. They set the mood for relaxing. :)

I live, therefore I cruise.

[pearose]

Any Jimmy Buffett, of course, but especially Margaritaville, Changes in Lattitudes Changes in Attitudes, and of course.......Cheeseburger in Paradise!

 

Then there's Beer in Mexico, No shoes no shirt no problems, Some Beach, Kokomo, Electric Slide, Hot Hot Hot, I don't have to be me til Monday, Free and Easy down the Road I go, Somewhere Beyond the Sea, It's 5'clock Somewhere, Two Pina Coladas, Footloose! I know there are more, on it, but I can't remember all of them right now. I have them loaded onto my work computer, and on days when I can, I listen to that while working........keeps me sane while waiting on the next cruise!

[trock]

I would join you.....lol:D

 

That makes 3 of us!

[star453]

My personal favorite is "Sailing" by Christopher Cross. But the one that always reminds me of a past cruise is "Who Let the Dogs Out" One of the most fun shore excursions we have ever taken.
