We're all in this together and none of us is getting out alive.
Homebrewer,
That was a pretty good tune!
Mine was "Dindi" by Jon Lucien.
BOB SEGER LYRICS
"Sunspot Baby"
She packed up her bags and she took off down the road
Left me here stranded with the bills she owed
She gave me a false address
Took off with my American Express
Sunspot Baby
She sure had me way outguessed
She left me here stranded like a dog out in the yard
Charged up a fortune on my credit card
She used my address and my name
Man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
She sure has a real good time
I looked in Miami
I looked in Negril
The closest I came was a month old bill
I checked the Bahamas and they said she was gone
I can't understand why she did me so wrong
But she packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
Said she was going to visit sister Flo
She used my address and my name
And man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
I'm gonna catch up sometime
Sure had a real good time
"Montego Bay" - Bobby Blume & "Drift Away"- Dobie Gray
Big bamboo. Ha!

So grateful I got to see Toots sing it live and in person!!!!! Great tune!Hey Livin, remind you of anything ....
Love this song! Was on a cat cruise the first time I heard it!
I always think of Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, but I think it is, by nature, an incredibly nostalgic song. I think I've heard Luddy do it on occasion.
Here's a couple....Zac Brown Band = Knee Deep , Toes, Where the boat leaves from
Bellamy Brothers = Get into reggae cowboy, Almost Jamaica
Jimmy Buffett = Sail on sailor, Volcano, Margarettaville
Kenny Chesney = When the sun goes down, No shoes, no shirt, no problem
Blondie = The tide is high
Jackson/Buffett = It's 5 o clock somewhere
Johnny Nash = Stir it up
Captain Jack = Iko Iko
UB40 = red red wine
Blake Shelton = some beach
Rupert Holmes = If you like Pina colada {Escape}
T-Spoon = Sex on the beach
Lily Allen = Smile
Katrina & The waves = Walking on sunshine
Linda Ronstadt = Heat wave
Lou Bega = mambo #5
Beach boys = California girls, and others
Millie Smalls = My boy lollipop
The go go's = vacation
That's my take on this post.......enjoy
I have a list:
Thomas Rhett - Vacation (not a classic)
Kenny Chesney - Magic, No Shoes No Shirt No Problem, Old Blue Chair, and Boston - well - mostly any of his beach songs
Pharrel Williams - Happy
Blake Shelton - Sangria
And for the win? Toxic by Brittany Spears On our first trip for my brother's wedding - they were playing it at the club and it was so out of place at the time that it always reminds me of the after party of their reception and our first trip to Negril.
