Ive been hired to  DJ/KJ a "Beach Bash " this weekend outside on the boardwalk.  
I want to make sure I have enough "beach type music" for both DJ & KJ.  

Besides BEACH BOYS , JIMMY BUFFET and some REGGAIE(SP) what are some  
songs or artists that would go great AT THE BEACH  that everyone can sing along with etc.  I imagine the age range of the people attenting would be the WHOLE RANGE from kids to seniors.   Appreciate any suggestions ..

Thanks !  

 :D

Jan and Dean (if they are on karaoke?)

"Under the Boardwalk"

"Where the Boys are" -- makes me think of beach for some reason?

Don't forget the Grease soundtrack songs, especially one of the most played karaoke songs "Summer Nights".

Do a google search for Shag music.

this is a type of music also referred to as beach music. it's a predominently carolina based genre, but it was inspired by the jersey shore beach bands. want an idea of what the jersey beach sound is? listen to the eddie and the cruisers movie soundtrack....

saxaphones, shuffle beats, stuff you can grab your girl to and dance under the stars and count the lights on the boardwalk... ya' know? I'm from jersey too..... :)

asbury jukes, bruce, john cafferty, and some good shaggin' music....

Soak Up The Sun - Cheryl Crow
Don't Steal My Sunshine - Len
Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves
Wipe Out - Surfaris (oh wait, there aren't any lyrics - LOL)
Anything by Don Ho

For transitional music/video you may want to secure a CD of One Crazy Summer - or any of the old 50's 60's "beach movies" with Annette or Elvis.
