Music for cleaning the house

Carry

I hate cleaning but I love to have a clean house.

So I create some incentives to get going, the most important is to have the suitable music on, something with pizzazz. (The other one is Lindt dark chocolate coconut intense)

My cleaning music is usually a compilation of old rock ballads, which gives a swing to my cleaning hands, dancing around and singing along.

Sometimes Rockabilly does the trick, but it's too quick.

My CD with rock ballads seems to be broken now with a hiccup (was a self-burned thingy and is very old and too often used for cleaning purposes), so I went on to Santana (do the young ones even know them?) who have the Latin drive to keep me going.

But rummaging in my CD collection afterwards I discovered a long time not heard Leonard Cohen, thought he would be mellow enough to clean the windows, but what happened was that I was sitting down, being sad, pondering a glass of wine and wondering if cleaning the house is really all it is about life.

Cleaning abandoned I need a musical incentive. And please no diddle-dee.
Anyone?

Queen, of course!
With their music I'm going to kill every speck of dust!
Thanks.

Not exactly a fan but a bit of Fall Out Boy is pretty good for tidying the house.

You don't need music, you need a CLEANER. Feck the music.

Ah ye know, I'm a bit oldfashioned. I have CDs. Loads of them.
I have an MP3-Player, too, with more music but that one got lost somewhere in the house.

Is there music to find lost gadgets?

I need the money for a cleaner.
So music has to do. And chocolate. And vino.

Often I put on Afro Celt Sound System with ''Further In Time'' while I do a blitz/dance of house cleaning. I don't think that falls into the diddly dee category, but perhaps you disagree.

8/10, would do again!

So you clean the house, and then everyone arrives and oohs and aaahs and Happy Christmas, and here's a drink and no one notices a thing.

And even if you DO clean it, then twelve hours later it's in bits anyway.

Thankless task at the best of times.

I can't think of any music to reflect that. Sorry.

Naah, they would make me wonder if dusting the shelves is really necessary.

That would really be a blitz dance cleaning - not up to my standards
But thanks anyway.

Nobody arrives to oohs and aaahs . I actually clean the house now and again for myself. But yes, the next day it's the same old kip. It's a never ending task.

The friends who come over just don't give a fiddlers. They are dazzled by my personality not by my clean or mostly not so clean house.

Whenever we were due a house inspection from the landlord, this was put on repeat in the sitting room speakers to power through the filth :pac:

Can't help with the music, but I do know that if you take a rake of speed and have nowhere else to go, your house will never be cleaner.

Can't believe i didn't think of this sooner -

Queen's - Another One Bites The Dust :P:P
