Caribbean mix CD

My wife is going to the Caribbean (of her own accord) & I am trying to come up with a mix CD she can take with her about the non-Caribbean's Caribbean experience.

So far I've only come up with the following:

10CC - Dreadlock Holiday
Typically Tropical - Barbados
The Clash - Safe European Home

and I guess, at a push, Billy Ocean's 'Caribbean Queen' & Beach Boys''Kokomo'.

What am I missing? Can anyone help me out?

ABBA - "Sitting in the Palmtree"! haha, god I love that stupid song.

elton john - 'jamaica jerk-off' (also, at a push, 'island girl')

Thanks for those, she's off to Barbados.

The Avalanches (who would be great for a cruise mix) have often included:

Lord Kitchener ("Cricket Champions", "Get Up And Get")
Van Dyke Parks ("Sweet Trinidad", "Jack Palance")

in the Caribbean parts of their DJ sets.

Serge Gainsbourg - "Sea, Sex and Sun"

Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band - "Soraya (March of the Nignies)"

Harry Belafonte - "Jamaica Farewell"

(and what must be at least half of Jimmy Buffett's oeuvre, but I'm not certain that's what you really want)

(and there's got to be something from Kirsty MacColl, but I don't know what, exactly)

How could I have forgotten Van Dyke Parks?
