    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.

    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

    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.
