Tell me about the tracks that have really stood the test of time. The 3 minute wonders that always get you kit of your seat or you love to sing along to. Inspire my playlist!

Some of mine:

Nothing like this- Omar
The smooth, gorgeous voice, the catchy percussion, such a perfect and sexy song.

Love shack- B52’s
This has always got me moving without fail.

Jessie J - Money
So catchy, so warm, so great to sing along to!
