Song For Getting Ready To Go Out
Cyndi Lauper: 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'
"A fun song to listen to with your girlfriends. Up tempo, gets you in the mood for a dance. It's about having fun - (hopefully) people have fun when they go out!"

Song For A Summer Day
Steve Appleton: 'Dirty Funk'
"Love this song and I picked it because in the summer where I studied for my GCSEs this was the song I listened to in the garden while revising/sunbathing!"

Song To Wake Up To
Coldplay: 'Speed Of Sound'
"This is my wake up song. It's soothing but will get you out of bed at the same time. Chris Martin always has the best voice to wake up to, I always chose Coldplay for my alarm!"

Song To Sing In The Shower
The Weather Girls: 'It's Raining Men'
"I find it appropriate, while you are being rained with water in the shower! Plus it's a good one to belt out when no one can hear you!"

Song To Get You On The Dancefloor
Justin Timberlake: 'Senorita'
"A flirty fun song, it always works! An old school Justin song now, but still one of my favourite tunes of his! Everyone loves it and you can all sing along to the part at the end where he gets the 'ladies' to repeat after him and the 'guys' to do the same!"

Song To Quit Your Job To
Beyonce: 'Listen'
"An inspirational song about being more than what someone makes of you - listen to your heart! HAHA CHEESEY! Sorry!"
