    These aren't "classic" but they do the trick for me:

    It Wasn't Me - Shaggy

    I remember the crew got everyone singing this on the M/Y Zein cruise from the Grand Lido back in the day. It's got a great beat and you can dance to it!

    Castaway - Zac Brown

    Funny - a video four CSA popped up when I was looking for this link

    Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon, will inevitably come to pass.

    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

    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.
