We’ve been brainstorming what music we want to hear when we sail away. Here are snippets from some of my favorites.

Rockin’ All Over the World by Status Quo

Oh here we are and here we are and here we go
All aboard and we’re hitting the road
Here we go, rockin’ all over the world

Ah giddy-up and giddy-up and get away
We’re going crazy and we’re going today
Here we go, rockin’ all over the world

And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-like it, li-li-li
Here we go, rockin’ all over the world

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Eurythmics

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something

Where the Adventure Begins by Tim Halperin

Heading out
On our own with our hope in the clouds
And we’re starting to see that
We’re onto something
Feel it coming
We’ll keep running
Nothing in our way

And we got no reason to wait
Let the journey take you
Where it wants to
We’ll continue
To find our way through
Anything we face
We got what it takes

Here we go
All we need is an open road
And a chance to see
A never-ending world that’s beautiful

Here we go
With the sunlight on our skin
It’s a brand new day, it’s ours to take and we will let it in
This is where the adventure begins

Every step
Writing stories that seek to be read
Taking hold of the moment as we discover
Every color
Filled with wonder
Now we finally see
We got everything we need

Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) by Enya

Let me sail, let me sail
Let the Orinoco flow
Let me reach, let me beach
On the shores of Tripoli

Let me sail, let me sail
Let me crash upon your shore
Let me reach, let me beach
Far beyond the Yellow Sea

From the North to the South
Ebudæ unto Khartoum
From the deep Sea of Clouds
To the Island of the Moon

Carry me on the waves
To the lands I’ve never been
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I’ve never seen

The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle (slightly modified)

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
the skipper brave and sure.
Five Two hundred residents set sail that day,
for a three hour year tour.
a three hour year tour.

So this is the tale of our castaways,
they’re here for a long, long time.
They’ll have to make the best of things,
it’s an uphill climb.

So join us here each week, my friend,
you’re sure to get a smile,
from seven stranded 200 castaways,
Here on Gilligan’s Odyssey Isle

Anyone have other suggestions? (Nina J, I could use your expertise in this…)
