Beds and the Sea...

[exegesis]

Can anyone recommend some really good songs that have either a sea or bed theme? Any variations on these are good - it can be a song about the ocean, or the beach, about things found in the ocean (although I'm not looking for kids songs), things you do in the ocean (including drowning) or one that just has a beachy title but is instrumental, good

Under the Sea - from The Little Mermaid

The Wild Wild Sea - Sting

The Soul Cages - Sting

Single Bed - Noosha Fox

Let's Go to Bed - The Cure

Just Like Heaven - The Cure

Bed of Roses - Bon Jovi

Bed Bed Bed - They Might be Giants

Beyond the Sea - Frank Sinatra(?)

Children of the Sea - Black Sabbath

That'll do you for a bit.

Weirdo.

Of course, I expect you to have copies of all these songs to provide on demand...

[crazyjane13]

Hah. Not a chance

Got the Sting ones, can probably hunt out the Cure ... I think you've got the Noosha Fox one, actually.

As for the National Anthem - go Google.

[exegesis]

Like I want the bloody national anthem!

Never heard of Noosha Fox, so I doubt I have that one...of course, I have a stack of songs that I don't know the artist for, so it's always possible. I might google the lyrics and see if they're familiar.

midnight oil - beds are burning

Billy Joel - Down easter alexa (or at least thats what it sounds like the title is..heh)

[exegesis]

Excellent, I have both of those. Extra Kudos for The Downeaster Alexa - I love that song but I never would have thought of it for here!Thanks!

[mrsqueeze]

hehe i knew the title was something like that.. i havnt read the album cover on that one for ages...i just love the song.. (also too lazy to google..)

another song could be :

Beach Boys - Endless summer
the Cure - From the edge of the deep green sea
The supremes - Beach Ball
can't remember - Beach baby
Elvis Presley - Beach Shack
Rod Stewart - On the beach

many more i'm sure

[exegesis]

Okay, so you recced me Billy Joel, I can forgive you for reccing me the Beach Boys and Rod Stewart. ;)

Know where I can get any of them?

Hmm. Live Bed Show by Pulp springs to mind. Surfin' Safari, Surfin USA, Wind and sail, Echo Beach...I got a ton of them.

For some...strange reason, a country that has 90% of its population living on the coast tends to do a lot of beach music :P

Will start poking you when I get home..

[taleya]

Oh, and I have Icehouse's Code Blue album. The one that was all about Australian history and has a shitload of Maritime stuff in it.

John Mayer :: Come Back to Bed
Coldplay :: Swallowed in the Sea
John Mayer :: Your Body is a Wonderland [This one is a little odd- it references 'bed' in the Chorus as a 'deep sea of blankets'. Does that work?]
The Marvelettes :: Too Many Fish in the Sea
The Boat People :: Sink into the Sea
