camping songs...

[w_parietti22]

My family and some friends of ours have been going camping for the past 20 years together and this year we are going to sun river instead. Me and my mom are planning to make a slideshow of all the pictures that we have taken over the years and we were trying to think of some good background music for it. Thats where you come in. We need songs that represent camping but dont nescessarily have to totally be about camping. Any ideas?

Thanks,

I made DVDs from all my camping trips.

So far, I've found Sufjan Stevens' 'Michigan' CD full of great tracks for this sort of thing.

Oddly, it is only the odd-numbered songs which are good for this, IMO.

Here's one I really like and used for an intro (ITMS link): 3. For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fearless in Ypsilanti (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=72809208&s=143441&i=72808516)

Probably not what you're looking for exactly, and I don't know where you'd find a version of it to play with your slideshow, but when I think of camping I think of The Happy Wanderer. (http://www.scoutsongs.com/lyrics/happywanderer.html)

I like John Denver songs (Rocky Mountain High, Country Roads). If I can think more I'll add them.

It would be funny if you could record yourself and/or some of your family/friends singing some cheesy camp song to use on the slideshow. :D
