What's Your Cleaning Music?

[Bayard]

I gotta have some good tunes going. What's your go to cleaning music?

Today, mine is Paula Cole, "Postcards from East Oceanside".

A couple of favorites......Feelin' Love (and you can dance with the vacuum cleaner to it).

Energize the dusting:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. What is this "cleaning" of which you speak?

[Bayard]

3. Snorf!

I try to get around to it at least once a month!

[elleng]

4. HAHAHAHAHA!

[Ohiogal]

2. Cleaning?

Um .....

You mean that disgusting job you only do when you're expecting company?

[OriginalGeek]

23. Ha, my aunt has a sign

That says "Hello! If you came to see me, come on in. If you came to see my house, make an appointment."

[mysteryowl]

34. I love it!!

[Glamrock]

25. Right?

Thank God for Mrs. Glamrock or I'd be living in absolute squalor! She gets me off the couch to help....

[hlthe2b]

5. If it is under pressure of company on the way and "intense" then nothing better than MOTOWN...

Like Candace Bergen's Murphy Brown (a show I am please to see is coming back in October), nothing beats MOTOWN!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

6. Right here....

[justhanginon]

7. "Manana" the old Peggy Lee song.

"Manana, manana, manana is soon enough for me."
Pretty much sums up my cleaning philosophy

8. B-52s Cosmic Thing

Last night at Ft. Knox basic training. They let us recollect our walkmans and tapes. I put a set together and the only tape I could find that wasn't god awful hairband crap was the B-52s.

I was determined we were getting out of therethe next day. I finally hit the rack at 2am after listening to that album I have no idea how many times.

Really good album.

[Bayard]

14. You're in Ft. Knox?

Hey, I'm in Hart County, a little south of there.

[underpants]

16. I was

1990

[Leghorn21]

9. Must be cranked to max volume, B!!

And it’s over ten minutes long, you’ll get lots done in just two listens!!

[ailsagirl]

13. That'll REALLY get you going!!

[Duppers]

20. Definitely!

At a volume your neighbors would hate.

[Glorfindel]

10. Viennese waltzes by the Strauss family

I just get lost in the music, and before you know it, the cleaning is done!

[fierywoman]

11. Christian McBride, A Family Affair

[Cirque du So-What]

12. Too obvious?

[Duppers]

21. Oh yeah!

[Bayard]

15. Just used this one to brush big fuzzy dogs by

So they don't shed all over my clean house, of course!

[Control-Z]

17. I made a great mixed CD

with a bunch of upbeat songs a few years back. It had Queen, Boston, Kansas, Steppenwolf, SuperTramp, ELO, and more.

So my son has a band and somehow it got mixed in with the CDs they brought with them on their first tour. He called me from the road to tell me that my "cleaning mix" had become their go to driving music!! Damn, it really was such a great mix even my son and his Indie music band members loved it. I don't know what happened to it. It's been a few years since I saw it last.

And, yeah. I had to stop cleaning.

On a side note (haha), my son called me on Tuesday to tell me that he, his girlfriend and his little sister are taking me to see ELO in LA this Sunday!! ELO is probably my favorite band ever, though, it's a tough choice.

[Crabby Appleton]

18. Some folk music

[zanana1]

33. The Winnah! nt

[jpak]

19. ...

[Lulu KC]

37. love it n/t

[Duppers]

22. Oldies! Springsteen, BTO

OR. .

Or ANYthing by BTO...

And...

[Duppers]

27. Yep, my taste vary.

Why BTO? Base.
We have 2 huge speakers in the living rm that can vibrate most of the house's floor when BTO is turned up. Somehow it energizes me and this old gal needs all the energy she can get. Those albums go back 45yrs, btw.

[Kaleva]

24. Shut up and sleep with me

[stonecutter357]

26. Down in Mexico by The Coasters !

[smirkymonkey]

28. That reminds me. I need to call up a house cleaner.

I do the basic stuff myself, but every few months I need to have someone do the real heavy duty cleaning. I just hate cleaning. I keep the kitchen and bathroom clean, but I don't like doing floors or scrubbing things.

I haven't listened to Paula Cole in ages, but I really like her. She's so talented! Thanks for reminding me of her!

[Sanity Claws]

29. Disco!

The beat keeps me energized and going until the job is done.

I have to do some cleaning today and tomorrow and will play these other recommendations. Thanks, guysQ

[redstatebluegirl]

30. Jimmy Buffett!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

31. The soundtrack from "Game of Thrones". So much killing ...

... of dust bunnies. Die, dust bunny. Out, damned spot! (Does "Macbeth" have a musical soundtrack?)

[zanana1]

32. The Boss.

Only Springsteen in concert gets me going. Otherwise, why bother?

[LeftInTX]

35. It takes me awhile to clean and this fast-paced remix lasts over an hour.

[lastlib]

36. Dust In The Wind - Kansas

[Lulu KC]

38. Archie Bell and the Drells--Tighten Up

followed by Tom Petty's Greatest Hits.

If I have to clean longer than it will take for those to be done, it will happen next month.

[MissMillie]

39. Can never pick just one genre.

Sometimes it's classical. I love Rachmaninoff and Mahler.

Most of the time it's classic rock.

Between December 12 and Christmas it's holiday music.
