Re: Songs That Roll, Float or Fly

Love any song that mentions boats, ocean, beach, surfers.......

Re: Songs That Roll, Float or Fly

Another surfing song is "Pi'i Mai Ka Nalu" by Robi Kahakalau. I sing that every time I go surfing.

Oh, and does anyone know the name of that surfing song in Hawaiian that KUMZ (from Halau I Ka Wekiu) sing? I forget. I like that one too.

Love Roller Coaster - The Ohio Players.

Love Roller Coaster by the Ohio Players was made somewhat infamous, back in the mid-70s, as there were rampant rumors that a woman was murdered (and can be heard screaming in agony while being attacked in the released sound track) in the sound studio while the song was in the process of being recorded by the group. There is plenty of info about the supposed "murder" (which never happened) on numerous web sites should you'd be interested in this urban legend.

I'm with ya' on the Moody Blues, Karen. Saw them in HNL in 1974 (or '75) at the HIC. They were introduced as the "smallest symphony orchestra in the world," and it's easy to see why. So, in the spirit of this thread, I'll submit "Ride My Seesaw" by the Moody Blues.

Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver
The Letter - Joe Cocker (Give me a ticket for an air-o-plane...)
Rocketman - Elton John
