"Copacabana," "Margaritaville" and Sublime for a tropical party when it's freezing out. Hawaiian shirts encouraged.
Tropical Basement is a 76-song party for when it’s freezing outside but you want to feel like you’re on a beach. It opens with Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana,” then goes straight into Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville,” Glenn Frey’s “The Heat Is On,” Will Smith’s “Miami” and Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz’s “Get Low.”
Sublime brings three tracks, including “Santeria” and “Doin’ Time,” with Nelly, The Beach Boys, UB40, Bob Marley and OMI with Felix Jaehn’s “Cheerleader” remix each appearing twice. Shakira’s “Objection (Tango)” and 311 add a little extra spice. It’s cheesy, sunny and gloriously fun, mixing reggae, pop, hip-hop and beach-party classics into one long tropical vacation. Perfect for a basement bar, a winter party with Hawaiian shirts, a pool day or a backyard barbecue. Turn up the heat, pour something with a tiny umbrella in it and pretend the snowbanks outside are sand dunes. Just don’t blame the playlist if someone starts a limbo line.
Mood: Summer & Beach · Party & Dance
