You know, the one you blast loudly while you're working on your Nest badge?

For me, if it's a shorter task, pretty much anything from Journey
If something longer, Vivaldi's Four Seasons

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing.

Because we are cat people..... and because our cats often assist us in cooking and cleaning, if we sing ...we sing cat songs. Some are our own invention and some are standards. "What's New Pussycat" comes to mind as an example.

At my age, Happy Hour is a nap.

This is the fun sing that immediately came to mind with the thread title. Great movie. :)

 

But I clean to 80s, country, pop.. Lady Gaga ... Whatever comes up on the mp3 player that has a danceable beat or is good to sing along with. Definitely Journey!

The wishbone never could replace the backbone.

I have a whole playlist of bouncy housework music. I like to bounce!!  ( Write me music to bounce to? )

Current favorites (not going to throw video links)  
Gogol Bardello "Start Wearing Purple" ;
Timbuk3 "Just Wanna Funk With Your Mind" ;
Stray Cats "Stray Cat Strut" and "Rock This Town" ;
Beat Farmers "Glad 'n Greasy" ;
Creedence Clearwater Revival "Looking Out My Backdoor" and "Up Around the Bend' ;
Dan Seals "I Wanna Bop with you Baby" :
Paul McCartney "Momma Miss America" ;
Tia Carrere "Ballroom Blitz" ;
and looking at my current list, another 220 + Songs.

Have to bounce while I work! And I sing with my music, off key, and probably out of tune.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Holy cow, that's the first thing that came to my mind too! That movie was perfect. How could anyone not fall for her?

It's too hard to hear music over the noisy leaf blower:)

Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.

Well, I suppose tidy people enjoy cleaning. They play happy bouncy music (and more power to them). And clean happily away.

I am not tidy people. My wife will swear an affidavit. So my cleaning music requires more fight in it, dark rum and sea cursin'. Stan Rogers, front and centre:

I like the extended mix of “House Work” by Jax Jones feat MNEK. I need to have a little bounce n wiggle in my cleaning jams.

While a nice tarantella works well for hard scrubbing, this is my favorite general cleaning song: https://youtu.be/gCD2Z6Kt6h4

"[6] Let the people, O God, confess to Thee: let all the people give praise to Thee: [7] The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us, [8] May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear Him." (Psalms 66/67)

Nothing to do with chores in any way, but I crank this bizarre song up when I really need to clean (and really don't want to):

“Every human activity is an opportunity to bear fruit and is a continual invitation to exercise the human freedom to create abundance...” ― Andreas Widmer

 
It sure was nice of your sister to lend us her car. Let's show our appreciation by sharing this tiny ad:
