Recent cruisers - Songs played during deck parties?

[carolinagirl268]

My family has been building a cruise song play list over the last six months building up to our 10/8 eastern cruise on the Magic next week. DH, DS, DD and I each pick a song on Fridays. I was wondering if any recent cruisers can tell me some songs that were played during the sailaway party or any other songs you heard frequently on your cruise. I'm hoping my song pick this week will be something we hear alot while on our cruise next week.

My picks so far have been Zac Brown Band "Toes" and "Knee Deep", "The Love Boat Theme Song", "Kiss The Girl" and Phineas and Ferbs "Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day". I need a good one to end on.

I know they used to do songs like Jump by Van Halen , Hey Baby, and the Cha Cha Slide Part 2.

I was thinking about the Cha Cha Slide or the Cupid Shuffle but thought they may be old news by now. Our last cruise was in 2009 and the Cupid Shuffle still reminds me of being on the Magic. Anyone know if they are still playing the Cupid Shuffle?

Here are some of the songs I think I remember hearing....


Celebration (Kool & The Gang)
Cha Cha Slide (Mr.C)
Disney Mambo No. 5 (The Hit Crew)
Hey Baby (DJ Otzi)
I Gotta Feeling (The Black Eyed Peas)
It's Five O'Clock Somewhere
Move it Like This (Baha Men) ----- DD and I love this one!
Electric Slide
Lovely Cruise (Jimmy Buffet)
Montego Bay (The Hit Crew - Island Party Jams)
Lovely Day (Bill Withers)


You can find all these songs on YOUTUBE and also videos to learn all the dances --probably just Cha Cha Slide...but right after the cruise I remembered some of the moves...now I just make them up. In fact, sometimes I'll play "Move It Like This" on the IPOD while I'm cooking dinner and my DD will come in and we will dance and of course say "lets go again!"
