Scuba Music (Songs, Artists, Albums that embody diving & diving culture)

[Thalassamania]

Naw ... that's my favorite deco tune ... my tenders get sick of it.

How about "Sixteen Tons?" Hey, it's not such a strech. After all, mine and caisson worker health was the impetus for all those tables. And if the original lyrics (sung by the inimitable Tennessee Ernie Ford--check out that mustache, nicely trimmed down to acommodate the mask skirt) don't move you, I posted some new ones on another scuba poetry thread here.

Chorus:

You breathe three thousand pounds, whaddaya get,
Another day colder and deeper and wet.
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't stop,
I owe my soul to the local dive shop.​

Just came upon this thread and noticed no one included "The Great White Shark Song" which is funny. This guy was on one of my liveaboard trips and had all the passengers singing along by the last night....

Good idea for a thread. Great tunes so far. I would include "Southern Cross" Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
OK maybe a little Enya (don't mean to be a new age yuppie but O. Flow song is cool)

Just heard Sara Bareilles singing Love Song for the first time and I liked it.

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
