What makes a great geocaching song? Sure, the tune has to be catchy (cache-y?), but there’s a lot more to it than that. The lyrics and spirit must include one or more of the following: discovery, far away travels, overcoming incredible physical challenges, the thrill of victory, and agony of defeat.

So in response to our original post about geo-music, you submitted your own sing-a-long suggestions. Here they are in all their glory, the second list of the Top 10 “best” geocaching songs.*

10. Ain’t no mountain high enough – Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

Listen baby, ain’t no mountain high
Ain’t no valley low, ain’t no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are
No matter how far don’t worry baby

 

 

 

 

9. On the Road Again – Willie Nelson

On the road again
Goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

 

 

 

 

 

8. I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) – The Proclaimers

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door cache

 

 

 

 

7. Boxes – Goo Goo Dolls

We’ll have tiny boxes for memories
Open them up and we’ll set them free
There’ll be bad days and some hard times
But I’ll keep your statistics, if you keep mine

 

 

 

 

 

6. You Can’t Always Get What You Want – The Rolling Stones

No, you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

 

 

 

 

5. These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ – Nancy Sinatra

These boots are made for walking
And that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Are you ready, boots? Start walkin’

 

 

 

 

4. We Are the Champions – Queen

And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through
We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions of the world

 

 

3. Born to Be Wild – Steppenwolf

Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way

 

 

 

 

 

2. Mission Impossible theme for gadget caches

Bongo beats, trumpets, and that sassy jazz flute! MI6 anyone?

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the number one song for geocachers has got to be…

1. Happy Trails – Roy Rogers

Who cares about the clouds when we’re together?
Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again.
