Summer Holiday songs.

Recommended Posts

Ok I need some inspiration....

 

I have decided to make up a CD full of songs that get my kids and I ready for our British summer Holiday. I am hoping what could be a rahter boring journey in the car could become a sing-a-long.

 

The problem is I need some suggestions. They don't need to be summery songs or have Summer in the title, just songs that get you in the mood to sing in the car. Songs that remind you of summer holidays.

 

So far I have thought of:

 

Agadoo doo doo by Black Lace

Summer Holiday by Cliff Richard

Delilah By Tom Jones

Up by Yazz

 

 

Please please help! Oh and because it is for my kids no swearing in the songs.

 

Cheers

How about...

 

Just Can't Get Enough/Strangelove/Shake The Disease - DM :D

Take On Me - A-Ha

Spiralling - Keane

Relax (Take It Easy) - Mika

I Don't Feel Like Dancing - Scissor Sisters

Fascination - La Roux

The Wildfire (If It Was True), God Knows, TV & Me, Mean Street, - Mando Diao

 

I'll try and think of more...

 

Actually, I chose these as examples, I recommend anything DM, Mika, La Roux, Mando Diao :lol:

Not sure what the boys would think of these but I'd suggest:

 

We All Live in A Yellow Submarine- The Beatles

The She Goes- The LAs

Can't Buy Me Love- The Beatles

She Loves You- The Beatles

(pretty much anything by The Beatles :D)

The Phantom of the Opera CD (hm... the boys may not like that one)

Livin' on a Prayer- Bon Jovi

 

I may think of a few more later. :) Pretty much just go with The Beatles. :)

The Beach Boys are excellent sing-a-long songs for summer, plus I'd go for Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves and Club Tropicana by Wham!

 

Ooo, just remembered something I used to love as a sing-a-long album which I've been meaning to get for ages - the Blues Brothers soundtrack (can't remember if there's any swearing in it though)
