Climbing Songs – Your Suggestions Please!
Our friend, Fiona, one of the people who inspired us to launch Hearts and Heads, writes a fantastic blog and if you haven’t checked it out yet, please take a look – http://adlibbed.blogspot.com/.
One thing that Fiona likes to do is to put together music playlists on various themes. That, along with some comments from my friend, Chris, on my Just Giving page got me thinking – why don’t we put together a top 10 (or 20 or 50) songlist to inspire us to climb that wall next Sunday?
Please add your suggestions here but beware – there is one particularly cheesy number that will earn you a QI-style “obvious but (so, so) wrong” klaxon. You have been warned!
To start you off, here are Chris’s suggestions:
• Don’t look down – Go West
• The only way is up – Yazz
• Moving on up – M-People
Pink Floyd – The Wall
(PS – Don’t look down is by Go West, unless there *is* a PSB version)…
Sorry for this one: Climb Every Mountain (Sound of Music!!!)
I just realised – that last one has probably made me Alan Davies
Not yet but we should probably have had that one on the list too
You’re right, I got confused because “Go West” is a PSB song!
At risk of getting the QI award…
I still haven’t found what I’m looking for (U2)
Climbing up the walls (Radiohead)
Reach (S Club 7)
You Take me Up – Thompson Twins
The Higher you Climb – Tasmin Archer
Don’t Look Down – Iggy Pop
Ooo thanks for the blog mention, have returned the favour
OK how about Climbing Top 5:
(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher – Jackie Wilson
Hold On, I’m Comin’ – Sam and Dave
High and Dry – Radiohead
You Keep Me Hanging On – Kim Wilde (is that a QI klaxon I hear?)
and…… I can barely bring myself to type this after such classic songs but…..
The Climb – Miley Cyrus
*off to wash myself, I feel dirty*
OK here are mine:
‘Cause I got high – Afroman
I want to take you higher – Sly & The Family Stone
One Step Beyond – Madness
Wonderwall – Oasis
Thank you for the mention, Fi, and the awe-inspiring photo!!!
The only way is up – Yazz, Your love keeps (lifting me higher and higher) – Jackie Wilson,
The Climb – Joe McEldry,
