Help me make the BEST beach wedding CD ever! I'm putting together goodie bags for my best friend's bachelorette party. She's having a destination wedding in Aruba. The ladies are going out after the rehearsal to celebrate, and we are all in our late 20's early 30's if it matters. Indie, pop, 80's, 90's - anything related to a beach theme would be much appreciated!!

The very first word in the Beach Boys song Kokomo is "Aruba."

Best answer: Club Tropicana!

I've just read the lyrics to Club Tropicana, and it may not be appropriate. Thus:

Fun and sunshine - there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea


But then George Michael goes on to point out that:

Watch the waves break on the bay.
Soft white sands, a blue lagoon


I'm not sure where Club Tropicana is, but there seems to be an absence of ocean even though there are waves, a bay, soft white sands and a lagoon.
