Tomorrow my gf is celebrating her 50th birthday. It’s not gonna be a big party, but today I have been busy doing some shopping and making some special arrangements. While doing so I did not have very much inspiration for my daily list. Therefore I had another look at the Days of the Year calendar and found out that today is National Submarine Day in the US. Well, off course that lead to a real annoying earworm. Probably the most famous song in this list. Since I could not think of 10 songs with or about submarines, I took the liberty to make the list a little bit more general and moved the theme to nautical songs. Enjoy!
10. The Beatles – Yellow Submarine
9. Village People – In the Navy
8. Björk – Submarine
7. Phil Daras & Felipe Querol – Submarine
Just found this track today, nice one!
6. U96 – Das Boot
5. Disintegrator – In The Machine (GTO Remix)
Includes a sample from blockbuster movie The Hunt for Red October.
4. Valoy – Submarine (Sub mix)
A less known classic from 1994.
3. Rod Stewart – Sailing
Yep, just nautical, no submarine involved.
2. Piet Veerman – Sailing Home
Another nautical entry to complete the list. Dutch pride Piet Veerman.
1. Meng Syndicate – Sonar System
Another track with the sample from The Hunt for Red October. 32 years old meanwhile. I have this on vinyl.

Geeft een mooie indruk over zeezeilen met Connie van Rietschoten. Achtergrondmuziek destijds bij een filmpje van de NOS I am Sailing met Rod Stwewart
Leuk!
