#MondayMotivation ; Ellie's picks for Summer tunes!

Have YOU got that #MONDAYMOTIVATION

Look no further for inspiration on what to listen to during those sunny days!(or rainy - as it is here in the UK!)

I know there's the charts and so many compilations CD's around but when your at home and you feel like making cocktails and having a BBQ it's hard to chose some songs! I've personally picked out my favourites that might help you! 


Katy Perry - This how we do; I love this one, it's fun and got a laid back style - I can imagine all the fun family pictures and videos being made to this one

Nicole Scherzinger - Your love; I'm not even ashamed to know the words to this one!
It's got a beach in the video & a catchy tune! 

Calvin Harris - Summer ; Of course! I couldn't leave this one out, it's going to be on EVERYONE'S list! 

Iggy Pop - The Passenger ; Classic! You're nan and mum and everyone else will be dancing to this one, it also makes a good traveling song! 


David Bowie - Rebel Rebel ; I grew up with David Bowie in my  mums house! There's a huge cult following & your current singers like Lady Gaga & Ke$ha took some of his inspiration! 

Lady GaGa - Star Struck; This was THE sound of my summer whilst in college, dancing around in mum garden with my headphones on (eeek embarrassing!) 

Lady GaGa - Beautiful, Dirty, Rich; I had to follow on with this one, I continuously listened to this song, I can imagine and all the kids from Gossip Girl on a boat throwing money and alcohol around, more importantly it's the song EVERYONE knows


Madonna - Bitch I'm Madonna ; The queen of pop is back! I had to add this one in, love it or hate it, it's very current and everyone will be playing and making their own versions - don't be affraid to make a vine video dancing to this one!

Skillex & Diplo Ft. Justin Bieber - Where are U now ; This is a song I admit I've been stupidly obsessed with, it's got all the softness in the beginning to pull you in and then wait for the crowd to go bananas with the drop. Turn it up - that's my only advice! 

Nicki Minaj - Super Bass ; I put this one in, this cannot escape my list! It's just so well known now that everyone will be dancing and singing along! 

Jennifer Lopez - Get Right ; Welcome to the glorious 00's! J-Lo was a staple in everyone's collection, even if you didn't admit to it at first. I still have my original CD and it has a place in my playlist! Given the right moment in a party, everyone will be up and dancing to this classic!

BeyoncĂ© - Check On It ; This is second favourite of mine from the 00's, this was from when Bey featured in a the movie "Pink Panther", unfortunately it wasn't put in the movie but this song accompanied the movie! 

Simple Minds - Don't you (forget about me) ; This is the classic and original song from the movie "The Breakfast Club" this movie also has a cult following! Its recently claimed back its fame from the yesteryear from the movie "Pitch Perfect", I recently fell in love, and I admit I hadn't seen the movie but I did after watching Pitch Perfect. Nicki Minaj & Kanye West also used this as a backing tune in one of their songs in collaboration! It changed music forever as soon as this one was released! 

Nicki Minaj ft Kanye West - I'm Blazin' ; I loved this song on her Pink Friday album! This song for me, was a game changer, from her crazy songs previous she showed her talent, Kanye West added a lot to this one for me, it's such a piece on its own! This song featured the previous song on my list!

Will Smith - Miami; What summer wouldn't be complete without a little Will Smith! There are no words! This is this sound of my 90's Summer holidays!

Sum 41 - Fatlip ; The 90's was made for punk! Everyone loved and knew this one, it's got it's place too in my summer playlist, can't deny that you know this one! 

Sum 41 - In Too Deep; this one has to follow on! I loved this song, Everyone and their grandma danced along to this one! In secondary school this one was on everyone's minds & would just randomly burst out into song! 

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop ; How could I NOT add this?! The sound of 2012 All through the year, including the summer - Literally it was played so much that eventually people got sick of it. I had to add it. Sorry not sorry! 

I shall end my big summer playlist with this banger... 

Pitbull ft Ke$ha - Timber ; fast paced, catchy, of course it would be added into the list! Its the modern day classic American song! Get those daisy dukes & light up cowboy boots! 

Stay safe, don't do anything stupid but more importantly... HAVE FUN!!
Thanks for reading and enjoying my playlist!
What was your fave song for the Summer?
