Look...I'm sorry...but singing along to Don't You Want Me Baby by Human League or a bit of Hot Chocolate used to be my thing...about 30 years ago.

Frankly I would just find it depressing to be swishing around with my swivel head mop while reliving my mispent youth in my head.

Dancing with the Dyson is never going to live up to memories of Bus Stop-ing, or Nutbush City Limiting with the crowd on the dance floor of Mamies nightclub, when I was a teeny weeny girl with a waist size the span of my hand, and legs up to 'there'.

Sugar soaping the walls just isn't the same as singing along to Sugar Baby Love or Sugar, Sugar in the light of the mirror ball, so don't try and cheer me up.

A girl doesn't need Housework Songs. She needs a Housework Fairy. And preferably one like this...

...so...like I said...don't try and cheer me up.

Housework Songs...it's just not right.
