Geocaching Sound Track

[uintahiker]

I was thinking making a sweet geocaching mix with a bunch of songs you could relate to geocaching. A few songs could be

 

"I am a Rock" -Simon & Garfunkel

"Still Haven't Found what I'm lookin for" -U2

"Strawberry Fields" -Beatles

"Days go By" -Keith Urban

"Rain Falls Down" -Ryan Shupe & the Rubber Band

"Time Well Wasted" -Brad Paisley

 

Just a few ideas to get the list started. What songs (title & artist) would you include and why?

I have found a few CD's with this theme and thought they were pretty cool. Now that we are trying to be a politically correct as can be this would not be approved of. All those recordings would be considered stolen since you did not get permission from the owners to put them on your CD.

Aerosmith- Walk this way

When I first started caching, I couldn't get the Atari400 Frogger jingle out of my head. Now, I can't get Classical Gas out of my head while on a hunt. Apparently geocaching is always accompanied by an instrumental in my head and not by choice.

Some good list here. Has anyone checked-out 2qerkE's DVD, some of the listed songs are on it, and Its a good Indiana Geocaching slide show, it makes me want to take more pictures while I'm caching.

For me personally there is nothing better than Geocaching with some good old fashioned banjo pickin' bluegrass!

 

(Oh and yes I know I am definitely in the minority here especially for a guy who is in his early twenties. )

When I hear banjoes in the woods, I leave before the squealing starts!
