Do we need a Geocaching Song?

[+The VanDucks]

As we celebrated 10-10-10 this morning, by clinking our special Geocaching.com logo coffee mugs together in a toast to Geocaching, at exactly 10 am EST, we realized we were just lacking a song to sing to recognize this important anniversary!

 

Give us your song suggestions for the "official" geocaching song! Something along the lines of "The Caissons Go Rolling Along", rewritten as "The Cachers go Rolling Along?"

 

I'm sure your creative minds can come up with even better ideas!

No song here. However, I went out and did ten caches for the 10/10/10 initiative.

If you search the archives, you can find a bunch of suggestions. Featured prominently are songs like U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and Rob Pierce's "Don't Tell My Wife (I'm Out Geocaching)". The latter is available on amazonmp3.com.

Since today was also International EarthCache day, I've suggested a few songs here.

how about this one

[+Joe1407on the hunt]

Rob Pearce has 3:

 

Don't tell my wife im' out geocaching

The Bomb Squad Nuked My Geocache

When the Geocache Cannot Be Found

 

The first one I think is the best!!

Dave Grohl is a geocacher and I have it on good authority that the song All My Life is really about geocaching the ET power trail.

 

He can be seen celebrating an FTF in this pic:

 

Here are the lyrics to his geocaching song:

 

All My Life by The Foo Fighters

 

All my life I’ve been searching for something

Something never comes, never leads to nothing

Nothing satisfies, but I’m getting close

Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day

When it comes around and it’s taken away

Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most

Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

 

Calm down, don’t you resist

You’ve such a delicate wrist

And if I give it a twist

Something to hold when I lose my grip

 

Will I find something in there?

To give me just what I need

Another reason to bleed

One by one hidden up my sleeve

One by one hidden up my sleeve

 

(chorus)

Hey don’t let it go to waste

I love it but I hate the taste

Weight, keep pinning me down

 

Will I find a believer?

Another one who believes

Another one to deceive

Over and over down on my knees

 

If I get any closer

And if you open up wide

And if you let me inside

On and on I got nothing to hide

 

(chorus)x2

 

All my life I’ve been searching for something

Something never comes, never leads to nothing

Nothing satisfies, but I’m getting close

Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day

When it comes around and it’s taken away

Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most

Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

 

Then I’m done done, on to the next one

Done done, and I’m on to the next one x6

 

Done I’m done and I’m on to the next

Done done on to the next one

Done I’m done and I’m on to the next one

Done done on to the next one

Done I’m done and I’m on to the next

 

(chorus)x2

 

Done done on to the next one

Done I’m done and I’m on to the next

Use the tune for what I think was a WWII marching song, "Over Hill Over Dale" and maybe substitute a few words.

 

Oops I didn't read all of The VanDucks post. I guess we are talking about the same song, I just wasn't sure of the title.
