The ultimate cooking and cleaning playlis

Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin is the top track for cooking

The romantic love song was originally released in 1945, with the Darin version coming out in 1959. Beyond the Sea has a BPM (beats per minute) of 136, which is allegro, described as a fast and bright tempo - perfect for dancing around the kitchen as you whip up your meals for the week ahead.

Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 is the ultimate cleaning song

If you need some help with the cleaning, pour yourself a cup of ambition and start dusting with Dolly. Released in 1980, this iconic track has a BPM (beats per minute) of 105, which is an Andante, described as a walking pace. This is the perfect tempo for navigating the cleaning of your home as you move quickly but still pay attention to the details.
