Please Don't Stop the Music

This is a special blog entry. While abroad, I've heard many interesting American songs. This is a list of the best of the best. Get excited.

The best of the Cairo airport:
My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion)
Because You Loved Me (Celine Dion again...this was, believe it or not, an Egyptian man's ringtone)
and my personal favorite...
Barbie Girl (Aqua)

The best of the HMS Serenade:
Our ship was known for really bad elevator music and tons of reggaeton. It's also famous (or infamous) for hosting an "Egyptian party" where tourists from all over the globe drink and dance awkwardly. Songs include:
Suavemente
Here Comes the Sun (originally the Beatles)
Mambo No. 5 (Lou Bega)
Dr. Jones (Aqua again)
Various Christmas carols (Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and Silent Night were perennial favorites)
Life is Life (a song that has given us a great motto for the trip)

The best of Crete:
This is really only one song, but it's so good, so I had to put it on here. While in Crete, we've discovered this awesome two-story grocery store. Caroline and I went yesterday to buy some food for a picnic and we heard the Spanish version of Unchained Melody. It was awesome. Sarabeth and I went to the store the next day and heard the song again. Crazy. Anyway, apparently people in Crete really like the Spanish version of Unchained Melody.
