What song reminds you of cruising?

[SmooCruise]

I know it wasn't written about "cruising" on the ocean....but every time I hear Gwenyth Paltrow and Huey Lewis singing "Cruising" it makes me think of being on a cruise ship. It will definitely be playing from my balcony next January on the Spirit! :p

Red, red wine

no woman no cry

[misguidedangel]

I do not have an Ipod, I have a much superior MMP3 player--Creative Zen Microphoto....My player has 869 songs (and struggling to find more 80's tunes) on it.

 

Anything by Bob Marley

Anything by Jimmy Buffet

Orinoco Flow and Caribbean Blue by Enya

Hot Hot Hot-Buster Poindexter

Red Red Wine-UB40

Floating--Julee Cruise

Anything by Shaggy

 

As for what is good tunes to listen to on the ship, Jamaican Dance Hall music style, Calypso, and SoCa. Heck, anything that is played at Carabana festivals is worthy of listening too!!!!

The Creative players are awesome - DH and I both have them in different versions. he is up to around 4000 songs now. We did a huge playlist the other weekend and ended up with 366 songs on the cruise playlist. Should be good for listening to on the drive to Florida in a few weeks.

Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside is one of my favorite cruise songs.

Check out Sailing by Bobby Darin. So smooth.

Here are a few I did not see mentioned -

 

Banana Boat Song (Day-O) - Harry Belefonte

Caribbean Queen - Billy Ocean

Get the Party Started - Pink

Vacation - Go Gos

Put The Lime in the Cocoanut - not sure who did this one....

 

These are all in my I-Pod playlist just for cruising along with many more and lots of the ones already mentioned.....

 

Coconut was written and sung by the late Harry Nilsson. Great song!

 

I like anything by Jimmy Buffet, particularly One Particular Harbor.

George Benson's cover of Beyond the Sea is also a favorite.

[Sea Legs]

Big Ship Sailing on the Ocean! First time I heard it was on our May cruise. Have cruised many times before but never heard it played!

[socwalk315]

Here's to my first post.... :)

 

My ultimate cruise song is "Island in the Sun" by Weezer. I also end up listening to a lot of tracks from "Pirates of the Caribbean".

[suzies29]

One of my fav songs that is newer is by Zach Brown Band, "Toes". If you have little ones....might not be appropriate, but says I am going somewhere warm and relaxing! ;)

Anything Soca, Jimmy buffet, Steel Drums.

[wvrotorhead]

You know, that Happy Birthday song that the waiters sing.

"Happy Burts Day Two Shoes" ;)

 

Oh yeah and of course Styx, Come Sail Away! But it needs steel drums.

 

Or more cowbell!!!

GREAT thread!!! Hubby and I just bought a card last night to buy some tunes to download onto his IPOD touch so he can take it with our new portable speakers on our cruise...I want to sit back and listen to music and R E L A X!!:rolleyes:..thanks for the suggestions!!

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.

*I have that CD too! And it totally reminds me of being on a cruise.

I would like to nominate that “hey baby” song that the waiters sing in the dining room.
