Music/playlist that makes you think of Universal/Islands?

[bamajill]

Are there any songs that remind you/make you think of Universal or Islands? There are a few that we notice that we frequently hear through parts of the park (for example, we always hear "That's Amore" by Dean Martin. Also over by Alcatraz Bar I always hear "Pinch Me" by Barenaked Ladies.)

What would be some good songs to add to a playlist? Can relate to the rides/movies or just music that you have noticed hearing throughout the parks. Getting ready for a trip!!!

Thanks for any suggestions ~

Excellent I can make another playlist.

I already have a Cabana Bay one

Imagine Dragons reminds me of the music outside of IOA. I can sit or stand there for ages just listening to that music.

They play Elysium/Honor Him/Now We Are Free from the Gladiator soundtrack (Hans Zimmer with Lisa Gerrard vocals) during the pre-show of the nighttime spectacular. I can see all the watery shapes in my mind while listening to that music.
