Since the beginning of time, nothing has inspired people to declutter, move and put items in storage quite like the power of a good, blood pumping, uplifting music.
Whether you’re packing, storing and moving with family, friends, colleagues, your better half or your university crush from across the hall – the right song can put a bounce in your step and motivate just about anyone to help you get from point A to point B.
Here are some of the Storage Plus team’s favourite songs to declutter, pack and shift to (and why):
Let’s Get Physical by Olivia Newton-John
• Warm up the tight muscles before some heavy lifting
• Switch off the procrastination and focus the mind on the ‘move’
• Gets the attention of other people in the storage warehouse
• A fun song to move and dance to with slow-motion stretches with packing tape
Moving On Up by M People
• Its’ hard to resist shaking what yo’ mamma gave you when this is pumping.
• An infectious beat with inspiring lyrics for bigger and better brighter future
Born To Run By Bruce Springsteen
• Lifts your spirits and reminds you that good times are around the corner.
• Air-saxophone and croon-a-long with ‘The Boss’ while you do the heavy lifting and shifting
With A Little Help from My Friends by The Beatles
• Where would you be on the day of moving and shifting without a little help from friends?
• Celebrate your friends helping you; before you shout them that pizza you promised
Hit The Road Jack by Ray Charles

I Feel The Earth Move by Carol King

• You don’t even need an ounce of rhythm or pro-dancer skills to pack and stack to this classic
Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley
• Send the message through song to the yappy one in your group, less talk more sorting.
• Gets disruptive dawdlers back to work (with a polite nudge).
If You’re Happy and You Know it by Someone in Latvia

• Change the words like “if you’re happy and you know it, help mummy move this couch”
