A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to.

I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-)

Housework vol 1 is a double album that has some cracking songs that you just dont seem to hear on the radio anymore such as The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda and Don McLeans - American Pie.

The songs on this album just make you feel good and really help to lift your spirits,but I honestly think its marketed wrong,this is a feel good album for anyone just not people doing the housework.I dont think the title of the album really represents or does justice to the high quality of tracks this 2 cd album has to offer.

The track listing for the album I have is as follows,

CD 1
1. Queen - I Want To Break Free
2. Ronan Keating - Life Is A Rollercoaster
3. Bangles - Manic Monday
4. Aretha Franklin - Respect
5. Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive
6. The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup
7. The Monkees - Daydream Believer
8. Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman
9. The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda
10. Hot Chocolate - You Sexy Thing
11. UB40 feat. Chrissie Hynde - I Got You Babe
12. Big Mountain - Baby, I Love Your Way
13. Madness - It Must Be Love
14. Spandau Ballet - Gold
15. Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms
16. Mike And The Mechanics - Over My Shoulder
17. Don McLean - American Pie
18. Lene Marlin - Sitting Down Here
19. Blondie - Sunday Girl
20. Mental As Anything - Live It Up
21. Cliff Richard - Wired For Sound
22. Wings - Silly Love Songs

------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

CD: 2
1. Kylie Minogue - Spinning Around
2. Irene Cara - Fame
3. Diana Ross - Chain Reaction
4. The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men
5. Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun
6. Phil Collins & Philip Bailey - Easy Lover
7. Tina Turner - The Best
8. Kenny Loggins - Footloose
9. Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now
10. KC & The Sunshine Band - Give It Up
11. M People - Moving On Up
12. Donna Summer - Love's Unkind
13. Erasure - Take A Chance On Me
14. Spiller (Feat. Sophie Ellis-Bextor) - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)
15. Jamelia - Superstar
16. Joss Stone - Super Duper Love
17. Jean Knight - Mr. Big Stuff
18. Blue - All Rise
19. LeAnn Rimes - Can't Fight The Moonlight
20. Katie Melua - The Closest Thing To Crazy


I brought mine when it first came out back in 2006 but I reckon you could probably pick it cheaper now,which when you think about it is really good value as you getting a wide variety of songs (40+) and artists all under one roof.
