Happier Abroad related songs?

[Will N. Dowd]

Since a HA abroad movies thread was started, I will start a HA song thread. I'm Interested to see what people come up with.

Here are my entries, starting with the master of HA songs, Michael Franks. I've posted about him before but not many people saw the thread, hopefully this will get him more exposure. He is the master of songs about escaping civilization to a tropical island. He wrote an entire album themed around Paul Gaugin's time in Tahiti, 1990's Blue Pacific, one of his absolute best albums. His music is laid back tropical smooth jazz, but it's his lyrics that really speak to me and will to others here also. He writes some very catchy, romantic and horny songs with brilliant lyrics. Pay attention to the lyrics, they speak volumes. He has had his songs covered by many other singers.
You can listen to all his complete albums from the mid 1970's until now for FREE here:

I usually listen to this when I'm in the Philippines, and it's a typical humid night and a girl is on her way over to my place or I'm going to her place to meet her for some sweaty intimacy. The lyrics couldn't be more appropriate.

A new song, "#Selfie" by The Chainsmokers is typical of the vanity of women these days. You really have to listen to it to get an authentic feel of the fakeness (ironic, eh?) and narcissism of the teenage girl singing the song. As I've stated before, "She's so mean" by Matchbox Twenty is another apt example of what the modern woman is like.

Lyrics (metrolyrics.com)

When Jason was at the table
I kept on seeing him look at me when he was with that other girl
Do you think he was just doing that to make me jealous?
Because he was totally texting me all night last night
and I don't know if it's a booty call or not
Sooo... like what do you think?
Did-Did you think that girl was pretty?
How did that girl even get in here?
Did you see her?
She's so short and that dress is so tacky
Who wears cheetah?
It's not even summer, why does the DJ keep on playing Summertime Sadness?
After we go to the bathroom, can we go smoke a cigarette?
I really need one
But first, LET ME TAKE A SELFIE

Can you guys help me pick a filter?
I don't know if I should go with XX Pro or Valencia
I wanna look tan
What should my caption be?
I want it to be clever
How about "Livin' with my bitches, Hashtag LIVE"
I only got 10 likes in the last 5 minutes
Do you think I should take it down?
LET ME TAKE ANOTHER SELFIE

Wait, pause, Jason just liked my selfie
What a creep
Is that guy sleeping over there?
Yeah, the one next to the girl with no shoes on
That's so ratchet..
That girl is such a fake model
She definitely bought all her Instagram followers
Who goes out on Mondays?
OK, let's go take some shots
Oh no (uh), I feel like I'm gonna throw up
Oh wait, nevermind I'm fine omg
Let's go dance
There's no vodka at this table
Do you know anyone else here?
Oh my god, Jason just texted me
Should I go home with him?
I GUESS I TOOK A GOOD SELFIE
