A Beach Playlist: Must-Have Songs for Your I-pod

With the cruise just around the corner (we're just over two weeks away now!), and summer rapidly approaching as well, I figured it's only appropriate to discuss our favorite beach/island songs. We all have those songs that put us in a great mood because they make us think of summer and/or going to the beach, and these songs are certainly must-haves for your i-pod when taking any island or beach vacation. These songs are also great even when you're just enjoying a summer afternoon at home, or surviving a cold winter day in Cleveland and dreaming about summer.

Below you will find some of my favorite beach songs, listed in no particular order, that I will be sure to put on my i-pod before heading the Bahamas in two weeks. In addition to sharing my summer songs with all of you, I'm asking you to let me know some of your favorite beach songs as well! Please post some songs that you would make sure to include in your beach playlist so that way myself, and the rest of the blogosphere, can be sure to have the best summertime playlist imaginable!
