BOXED: Suggestions for time travel tunes!

On Thursday I’m going to visit the legendary DJ YODA who is helping me construct some DJ style mixes for one of the key sequences in BOXED, my new stage show. I’m then going to turn the DJ mixes into Vocal Orchestra arrangements.

Why? Well, in a nutshell, in the show the gang invent a human time machine and go back to the 90s to sing an amazing medley of awful 90s tunes. Then they go back to the 80s, 70s, 60s, 1720s, and so on.

What I want to know from you is:

If you could choose any song for the Vocal Orchestra to recreate, what would be your ultimate tune from each decade?

    not sure I could name one for each decade, but here are a few that should be considered I reckon:

    I Should be so lucky – kylie

    [Pretty much anything by S.A.W. really...]
    Grandma we love you – that choir

    Ok, now I have to take a happy pill & lay down.
