Songs That Should Be On Catwalks
Cream – Whiteroom
White Room” is a psychedelic rock song from 1968 by British group Cream, written by bassist Jack Bruce and poet Pete Brown. It originally appeared on the US release of their double album, Wheels of Fire. Eric Clapton played overdubbed guitars for the track. It is a soundtrack made for advertising and film!
Cold War Kids Passion Pit Remix
The Passion Pitt remix of Cold War Kids song ‘Mine is yours’ is a soundtrack in itself. The song was released in January 2011 and deserves more recognition than it received.
Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know Shameboy vs Distrakt Remix 2011
Somebody that I used to know gained a staggering 57million views on you tube. It would only be right that this track was remixed with a faster tempo. The song was number one in Australia for 8 consecutive weeks. The single has since picked up significant UK radio play.
Chris Isaak – Wicked Game (Trentemoller Remix)
This one hit wonder was the ultimate 80’s song. Famous for its black and white video featuring model Helena Christensen. It is a nostalgic listen and like the lyrics, this track has become an unexpected obsession.
Zoo Brazil – There Is Hope
There is hope took the world by storm after it was used in the Dermablend advert featuring tattoo man Ricco the zombie. Vocals are heard from Rasmus Kellerman. More of a club/ibiza anthem, but should also be used in the fashion industry.
Air -Sexy Boy Remix (Sharam Jey Edit)
Famous 90’s film ‘Ten things I Hate About You’ made this tune a hit. This remix is more abstract than the original. The lyrics are repetitive but it works.
Pretty Lights – Finally Moving
This was on the scene wayy before Flo Rida snapped it up
The Black Keys – Sister
This up beat tune would make a powerful strut down the catwalk. The rest of their new album El Camino has an essence of the clash making it a worthwhile listen.
I love all of these!:)
Girl, you are working it out! You are absolutely right about all of these jams. Great uploads.

What a lovely idea! I will definitely go over them one by one!
I love Chris Isaak,
good choice and cool ideas!
Love pretty much every one of these. Definite picks for any runway!

great music
actually, i attended a ton of fashion shows in the 80’s that DID use “Wicked Game” ! great post 🙂
this is a great idea, thanks!!
woah!
cool post 🙂

Good Songs!

I’m dancing at my desk – thanks!
Great concept and loving the music-thanks for visiting my blog!
I always thought there is hope would be such a perfect song for a catwalk show. Love your music taste very similar to my own 🙂 http://backstreetbirds.wordpress.com/
This list is a great idea!!!
Awesome choices!
One of my favourite catwalk shows used ‘Peekaboo’ by Siouxie and the Banshees, the theme was pretty dark and Gothic, and the choreography was very funky and ‘broken’. The track went brilliantly with the theme.
Thanks will check it out !
I think for an Indie style collection, or even just a modern, colorful one, the dubstep remixes of acoustic songs would be perfect. Dubstep makes anything cooler 😀 They’re suspenseful (sometimes) and perfect for having fun with the lighting!
Totally agree ! Slow songs mashed up are amazing !
Also, I really love Cold War Kids ^_^ good choice!
“Wicked Game” has my vote! But I’m an old guy who enjoys sexy 90s music. 🙂
inertia creeps by massive attack. what say? 🙂
Yes great shout !
