(Fanmail is such a pain to answer in a post. Thanks, Tumblr, for another barely useful function!)
Anyhoodle. When I’m doing serious cleaning, I put on a Pandora mix of ’80s and ’90s pop and dance music, with a generous serving of Beyonce, Salt ‘n’ Pepa, and Run DMC mixed in. Everyone’s different, though, and what motivates me might not be what motivates you. I know Team UfYH loves to talk music, so I’ll open this up to answers, too.
Team UfYH, what’s your favorite music to unfuck to?

80s pop for sure, but for huge projects (like cleaning out an apartment) oddly, Journey’s greatest hits album.

the Spice Girls Pandora station gives an amazing mix of 90’s/early 00’s dance/pop. It’s my go-to for cleaning. And getting ready for parties.

Loud fast and obnoxious music is best to clean to, keeps your energy up, and keeps you on edge to complete the task.

Recently lots of LMFAO. Nothing like dancing to some party rock to make cleaning a little funner.

ABBA. Disco in general makes great cleaning music.

House mixes of ABBA tunes. …though, admittedly, this is useful for most “go and do” things.
