If there are movies that make so much of an impact to the audience that those who watch it are just raring to pack their bags and travel to wherever the movie inspired them to, there are also songs that enthuse listeners - either by the lyrics or the beat – to take off and go on a break. Here are a few of those songs:

Kokomo. No other song can make it to the top of the list save for this hit from the Beach Boys. What could be more enticing than the soothing summer rhythm that give a run down of the Caribbean Islands?

Pacific Coast Party. Actually, almost all songs from Smashmouth are reminiscent of the beach, this is because of their signature lively thumping beats. This song’s lyrics is simply the most obvious…

Billy Joel’s Vienna and Boston from the band called Augustana are quite serious songs but the lyrics present the two destinations as a getaway that promises an escape and a rare chance at a new beginning.

Moonlight Over Paris perfectly captures the romantic melancholy that the city of love offers. As if the word “Paris” was not enough to entice tourists.

The original motion picture soundtrack of the film 50 First Dates with the reggae twist on 80’s pop hits such as Melt With You and Love Song is simply the definition of beach music… where else would that take you?
