Cool Change - Little River Band

Not about islands, exactly, but about sailing and all the reasons for getting to an island.

This is one of my favorites- having grown up in Hawaii-from IZ. Somewhat an unknown but a gem nonetheless. It's called "Hele on to Kauai"

Does the theme song from Gilligan's Island count?

Another Hawaiian local classic is "Island Style" by John Cruz...this takes you right to the essence of the local mindset.
(Jack Johnson calls him his favorite songwriter.)

Anyone ever hear "Stairway to Gilligan's Island," by Little Roger and the Goosebumps?

The music is "Stairway to Heaven."

The lyrics are "Gilligan's Island."

It's one of those things that you either love, or it makes your brain want to explode. :)

Another hawaiian favorite of mine is "Aloha Friday" by Kimo Kahuano

Gin and Coconut Water - by the baha men. Their Junkanoo album is fabulous. My son was shocked to see them on my Ipod. He was convinced when he listened to the first two tracks....

"All Night Long" as done by Lionel Richie. I think Jimmy and the Reefers would do it justice.
