Boatdrinks Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 The last few days of good weather has me in a summer mood. If you were going to make a CD of beach tunes, what would you include? I'm looking for songs in the vein of: -Sloop John B - The Beach Boys - Under the Boardwalk - The Drifters - Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet 310307[/snapback] Ahhh, beach tunes. If I were making that CD it would be: * Jimmy Buffett- Boat drinks, Manana, One particular harbor, Barometer soup, coconut telegraph.(though any Buffett will certainly do) * Bob Marley- Legend CD (with bonus tracks) * BuJu Banton- BuJu and friends * Bunny Wailer - retrospective * Lucky Dube-Captured Live * Sweet Soca Rhythms -various artists. Mix and match any of the tunes from these discs. Of course, whwn you say "beach" I'm thinkin' Virgin Islands but any old beach wil probably work.
BuffFanInATL Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I have, in fact, made a beach CD... It included many of the songs mentioned above... A few others: Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison or Jimmy Buffett Jump in the Line - Harry Belafonte (although he has many other songs that would do) Under the Boardwalk - someone mentioned the original (The Drifters), but John Mellancamp also does a killer version... Sittin On The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding Smooth - Santana with Rob Thomas Enjoy !

Fan in San Diego Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 It's cool to hear "Spill the Wine" on the beach. It's not your typical beach song, but it works for me. Jeff Spill the Wine - War/eric Burdon 310353[/snapback] Is that the one with the lyrics 'Spill wine, dig that girl '
rockpile Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Beach Boys - Holland CD California Saga On my way to sunny california On my way to spend another sunny day Water, water get yourself in the cool, clear, water The sun shines brightly down on penny's place The sun shines brightly down on the bay The air's so clean it'll just take your mind away Take your mind away Take your mind away Have you ever been south of monterey Barrancas carve the coast line and the chaparral flows to the sea 'neath waves of golden sunshine And have you ever been north of morro bay The south coast plows the sea And the people there are of the breed They don't need electricity Water, water, cool cascades of clear, clear water The sun dance final scene sets the hills ablaze. Horizon edges quick up the mountain's way. Have you ever been down salinas way? Where steinbeck found the valley And he wrote about it the way it was in his travelin's with charley And have you ever walked down through the sycamores Where the farmhouse used to be There the monarch's autumn journey ends On a windswept cyprus tree Water get water get yourself in that Get yourself in that get yourself in that cool, clear, water The sun shines brightly down on penny's place Get yourself in that water The air's so clean that it just takes your mind away Take your mind away Take your mind away Have you ever been to a festival, the big sur congregation? Where country joe will do his show And he'd sing about liberty And the people there in the open air, one big family. Yeah the people there love to sing and share Their new found liberty
