To ask for your help to compile a playlist

[Lex234]

I'm sick of all things Covid, my job revolves around it, the endless "Should I be going to feed the lone duck 450 miles away",, "Is it essential to buy a clown costume" "My neighbour has decided to invite Elton John around in lickdown" type posts, its constant coverage on TV and radio, Newspapers etc.

I have decided I am going to get good and pissed and listen to the greatest music playlist known to man.

I need the wisdom of mumsnetters to suggest those little gems of songs I might have forgotten! I'm looking for upbeat and drunken sing along-able please for a but of light relief :)

Shit...*lockdown,not lickdown...that might be taking it a bit far, even for the digustingtons next door

What sort of music would you put in the ‘upbeat drunken singalong category?

Well, not Radiohead probably. Happy songs. I like most types of music

Would dizzee rascal 'bonkers' be allowed on your playlist?

Do you like a bit of Avicii? Or Chase n Status?

They're on my playlist

'Dont stand so close to me' might be a good start

Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield
Somebody Else's Guy - Jocelyn Brown
Think - Aretha Franklin
Get Ready - Temptations
There's a Ghost in My House - R Dean Taylor
Red Light Spells Danger - Billy Ocean
It's In His Kiss - Cher

In all honesty though, my favourite couple of cheese pop songs at the moment are 'Call me Al' by Paul Simon and 'Dont worry, be happy' - I think both need the video for full effect though.

Oh some great suggestions here! Bonkers, somebody else's guy, shoop shoop song are going on there, I don't know some of the suggestions so will have a search for them, please keep them coming!
