Hey everyone - I'm looking for theater songs that have something to do with Miami, or Florida, or just give the beach-y feel. It's for a blog title that has to do with South Florida theater, and I was hoping for something catchy from a song lyric or title. Any ideas/suggestions?
There's a Jule Styne/Bob Merrell song in SUGAR called "Sun on My Face." I happened to listen to it the other day and I can't say it's a great song, but it is about traveling to Miami from Chicago.
Funny, you're the third person to mention that song to me today. Is there any particular line in the song that stands out? I can't, for the life of me, find lyrics online, and since I'm at work without speakers, I can't hear the song either!
@TalkinLoud - LOL! I love it, but my blog is about "SOUTH" South Florida. Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Palm Beach. Also, it should be short and catchy. Like, one line. I know I'm being way picky!
I have to say what I feel Miami has so much appeal A great place to get a seafood meal Miami
Miami, Miami you’ve got style Blue skies, sunshine, white sand by the mile When you live in this town, each day is sublime The coldest of winters, are warm and divine
Miami, Miami, you’ve got style Blue skies, sunshine, white sand by the mile There’s ball clubs and night clubs all within reach Dance the Samba till morning then lie on the beach Each view is a postcard, each day a great time It's the cream of the crop, it’s the top of the line
Miami, Miami you’ve got style Blue skies, sunshine, white sand by the mile. Miami, you’ve got style
Miami's got a lot of Cuban roots, and the song "Havana," from the upcoming musical of the same name (but already recorded by Linda Eder), always puts me in a beach-y mood.
"Tropic days turn into steamy nights Stateside ways give in to appetites Panatelas under white straw hats Sit and soak...Rum and Coke Cuban rhythms push the night along Past the limits of what's right or wrong Hardly anyone is keepin' score Let it ride...Por favor"
My first thought was that Golden Girls episode too! And I KNEW that on this message board it'd be posted in some form pretty much instantly! I only clicked on this thread to see how quickly the reference would appear!
Edit: Nevermind, couldn't find the other one I was looking for. (Earlier on in the episode, Dorothy and Rose singing and Blanche going "Girls... Girls! GIRRRRRLS!!")

M-I-A-M-I doesn't spell Miami Beach, it only spells Miami.
