The B52's "Private Idaho" is THE best song to do housework to.

[CanuckAmok]

Period.

Sorry for the poor grammar.

But it's true--nothing comes close, except "Regatta de Blanc" (the song) by the Police.

1. I'll play anything you like if you'll come over & clean my house

We've a very good stereo system with one of them sub woofer thingies that you can hear a half mile away.
So, when can we expect you?

[CanuckAmok]

2. Sorry, can't cross the Border. Bring your dirt/HiFi here, and we'll talk

n/t

3. The Guns of Brixton (the Clash)

is the best song to varnish your masts to.

Take my word for it.

[CanuckAmok]

4. Does "varnish your masts" mean what I think it means? n/t

[geniph]

7. Yes, yes, sanding and painting the spars!

"Elevate me"

"What, here? now?"

"Yes, yes, raise the platform!"

"Ooh, ze platform...oh, ZAT!"

[catzies]

5. Talking Heads' "Cities" does indeed come close.

Matter of fact, all of 'Stop Making Sense' (audio or video) is just about perfect for it.

6. The Headmaster Ritual

by the Smiths is one of my favorites to do chores to

8. nonononono

your all wrong --- the best music to do housework to is James Brown Live at the Apollo.
