I added a playlist of upbeat songs to the playlist in my side bar. Tamy contributed Flashdance and Main Event, however I couldn't find Main Event available online. However, this isn't all about me! So, do you have any additional suggestions? I want any and all suggestions! I'll add songs that most people would know to the playlist, if I can find them online.
Now, here's the thing, I LOVE finding new music, and this playlist isn't my typical cleaning playlist. My actual list is so random. The very first song I put on the list is an example of them, I put it first so you can skip it if you want to. So in the interest of full disclosure, and transparency, here's the list of songs in my actual cleaning playlist, yes, it's long! I play it on random:

ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra... very random and lots of 80's...
ReplyDeleteThat is a great list. You couldn't find Main Event - too bad. What about Tequila or I'm Here for the Party?
ReplyDeleteAdded Tequila and I'm Here for the Party. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Great list! I have a wide variety of songs I listen too, but not really for anything particular. I just have a general list of songs I love! They tend to motivate me in nearly any situation! I seem to have a lot of Green Day (minority), Nickleback (rockstar), Feist (1234), Neneh Cherry (Buffalo Stance), Chicago (25 or 6 to 4), and other random songs....
ReplyDeleteI read this entry yesterday and felt so inspired that I created a playlist on iTunes and used it this morning to keep me motivated as I cleaned out the fridge. Loved your idea of combining cleaning fridge with emptying bins before pick up day and then menu planning. (Another entry I read yesterday.) Efficient combination of tasks :) Thanks. Oh and I love The Divine Comedy's 'Something for the Weekend'. Good for picking up energy on the weekend of course.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, i love the idea of setting up a playlist for this!! I think im going to copy some of yours and make up some of my own!! what a lovely idea!
