I’m moving. Help me write the soundtrack. 
Not just road songs, you understand. I want waiting for phone calls songs, cleaning songs, heft and carry songs, breaking stuff songs, feeling out of place songs. Help me recreate the whole soul destroying shebang, musically.
So far all I have is a measly four: Can’t Help but Wonder Where I’m Bound by Tom Paxton, People are Strange by The Doors, I’m Not From Here* by James McMurtry and Everything is Broken.
Games People Play The Alan Parsons Project.
Don’t Think Twice, it’s Alright Bob Dylan
I’ve got the Train Sittin’ Waitin’ Waylon Jennings. This one might be a stretch.
I’m on the Road to Nowhere, Talking Heads
Hammer and a Nail, Indigo Girls.
I’m walking away (from the troubles in my life), Craig David.
Well, “Autumn Almanac” (the Kinks song, not the Doper) does contain the phrase “my poor rheumatic back.”
But it also has the line “This is my street, and I’m never gonna leave it,” so it’s probably not a good moving song.
But I can recommend “Today You Move” by Trip Shakespeare (which spings to mind because I was impelled to listen to the album it’s on by the recent “vocal harmonies” thread).
These are all great. Keep 'em coming. Oh, and seeing as how we’re down to two weeks to find a new place, I’ll sum up the house hunting nightmare with:
Build Me Up Buttercup, Tired of Waiting by the Kinks and then Liar, Liar by the Castaways (maybe this should be a Pit thread).
From your lips to Og’s ear, Thudlow, and with any luck, Out My Backdoor, by CCR for the last song.
The entire album Combat Rock by The Clash is excellent cleaning music. Ditto Dancing Queen and anything else by Abba. Disco is general, for that matter.
In 1985 when I was moving back to the town where I grew up, Small Town by John Mellencamp and My Hometown by Bruce Springsteen were popular on the radio. I’ve always felt they were good choices for moving music ever since.
Other thoughts:
Movin’ Out, Billy Joel
Sixteen Tons, Eric Burdon version (Joe Versus the Volcano soundtrack)
All Shook Up, Ry Cooder version
Big Bad John, Jimmy Dean
Country Roads, John Denver
Graceland, Paul Simon
The Old Apartment, Barenaked Ladies
Howsabout “Northwest Passage” by Stan Rogers?
Or maybe “Radar Love” by Golden Earring?
If you want waiting songs (phone calls, especially), “Thru and Thru” by the Rolling Stones.
