Geocaching Songs!

[+moosehadley]

I'm making a travelbug, it is attached to a casset tape, with 90 minutes on each side (180 minutes).

 

I'm loading it with songs that fit a Geocaching theme, so far I have:

 

"Don't Tell My Wife (I'm Out Geocaching)" - Rob Pearce

"The Bomb Squad Nuked My Geocache" - Rob Pearce

"When the Geocache Cannot Be Found" - Rob Pearce

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" - U2

"Journey Of The Sorcerer" - the Eagles (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy theme song)

 

But, thats only 21 minutes, I need more songs!

 

Does anyone have a suggestion?

[+bittsen]

So, make some up.

So, make some up.

 

I want real songs, not me singing.

 

No one would want to listen to that!

"The Raiders' March" from Indiana Jones

That's all I got.

Well, I'm glad I was alone in my office and not upstairs with guests (a quilting retreat going on) when I played that.

 

Mostly because I laughed embarrassingly loud.

 

Secondly, I think they might have thought I was editorializing the work they are doing.
