I sometimes daydream about strutting down a catwalk or making a dramatic entrance or exit in a scene on a soap.
My question is, what would be your backing track for your catwalk, as you strut your stuff, making that turn back to the audience before exiting the runway..
For me it would be a slow strut to ‘Human’ by ‘Rag’n’bone Man..
I haven’t quite decided on my dramatic entrance or exit..
Oh good question Charlotte.
For me I would come out to “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics, turn and walk of to David Bowie ‘s “Rebel Rebel”
Really good choices Amanda, I can picture that 😊 I love both those songs too. xxx
Absolutely Charlotte, they don’t much better sweetie. How are you enjoying the site?.
I am living/loving the site! It has really helped me release my feminine side, which has been hidden away like a self isolating nun. xx
Yeah it’s a fantastic site, and you get to make loads of friends, and support, and inspiration, but you can be the girl you want to be. xx
Yes Simone, that’s a great track too.
Love Bowie, great choice xx
Love this question, Charlotte!
I hear catwalk music and find myself adding a little catwalk strut when I go out at night.
It started with Fashion, by Bowie – hardly the most original choice, but the pulsing beat and discordant blast of it entered my head unbidden (I’m a musician, so quite used to tunes popping into my head like that!).
Now I hear all kinds of things – RuPaul’s “You Wear it Well” hit me the moment I first heard it – anything by Ru Paul is uplifting and on point, but anything with a good pulse, like “Show Me Love” by Robin S, will get me strutting somewhat… not overly, just in fun!
Earworm time!
Love Laura
Bowie is a popular choice and I can see why, such a great musician, fashion icon and was way ahead of his time.
I am going to have to listen to your choices and strut up and down the kitchen xxx
Hi Charlotte….mmm
I would do the walk on to “Heartbreaker” by Dionne Warwick..
Strut my stuff!!!….and amid the screams of “encore!!!!”…
I would slowly leave to…..” I predict a riot” by the Kaiser chiefs
modestly, Grace xx
Haha Grace that is a wonderful reply, I am Imagining it now as you leave the runway.. and I love both of those songs too
I don’t know much about music but…
Crazy or something from ACDC
Probably not appropriate but it is my dream.
Jessica
Back in Black would be an excellant backing track Jessica x
I love that song and album!
Just over 40 years ago, the first gig I ever went to was AC/DC at Hammersmith Odeon, promoting that very album.
My ears rang for about 3 days afterwards.
That’s one motherstrutter of a song… 🤘
Love Laura
#motherstrutter❤️
“These boots were made for walking”, by Nancy Sinatra just flashed through my mind when I read this post. Not sure if this old girl can do the strut, though.
Bettylou
I love Nancy Sinatra, grear choice. In reality, I am not sure I can strut either, but in my imagination, I am the real deal xxx
Bettylou….never mind the strut… do you play???…..maybe during the mid show interval, we could have a song from “Bettylou and the Bunnies”……
dare I suggest…. ” at the hop”??
stood with autograph book, grace x
HI, Grace,
I do play alto sax (badly), and my bunny Ziggy could thump a backup beat. More likely to attract villagers with pitchforks than autograph hounds, though.
Hugs,
BettylouHaha…brilliant… conjures up a wonderful image!!!……
…..
but he’s Surely not Ziggy…..Stardust??

No such luck, Grace…but he does have more musical talent than I do. Only he doesn’t read music; he plays by ear.
Plays by ear?
What instrument is that?
Most instruments I’ve seen get blown, plucked or hit – and I have seen a Mongolian nose flute, but this is a new one on me…
🤩🤩🤩🤗🤗
Hi Laura,
I’m presuming the term “plays by ear” didn’t get across the pond; it refers to the amazing talent of some people who can’t read music to play a song on their chosen instrument after hearing it a time or two. I was also making a pun: rabbit…plays by ear. Sigh.
Got it, Laura….I was just trying to keep up with Grace, but I don’t think it can be done.
Hugs,
Bettylou
There are SOOOOOO many good songs for a catwalk strut. I’ll share the first 3 that come to mind though:
1. “Waitin’ On A Sunny Day” by Bruce Springsteen
2. “Love Me Like A Man” by Bonnie Raitt, very bluesey.
3. “Mario Takes A Walk” By Jesse Cook

I love blusey, that is a perfect track for a catwalk, I think. You can’t go wrong with the Boss. xxx
I’m not entirely sure why, but when I read the question the first song to pop into my head was “I Touch Myself” by Divinyls. Perhaps not the most widely appropriate song for mixed company but it’s got a great sound. Or maybe “Double Life” by Styx off the Kilroy Was Here album. I like nearly all the selections already listed. Looks to be a great show, when is it?

I love those tracks..if it wasnt for covid I would be organising it now. I don’t think you can attach personal videos but I would send in my catwalk.. Though I would undoubtedly do a Naiomi Campbell xxx

Here’s another that, literally, wants you to….Strut by Bob Seger
And here’s a video of the Victoria’s Secret gals doin’ it! (I didn’t even search for it. I searched for the song and this was the first result 🙂 )
*kisses* tara 🙂
Haha brilliant, love their outfits and I have got to have some of those angel wings xxx
Charlotte….🎶can I just add that I love the way this post is turning into a rather good video jukebox ……
motherstrutteringly, grace ❤️
I’d want to select my outfit carefully (killer boots would definitely be involved!) but I’d go for ‘I Love Rock and Roll’ by Joan Jett.
Rachel xx
Great catwalk tune 🎶 The boots would be a must!! just watched the music video and she has a great red leather jumpsuit on xx
I have to apologize for having a disco flashback but I cant get the song
Born to be Alive out of my head! 😁
🎶 … cause I was born, born, born…
Born to be alive 🎶
Hi Charlotte love this question my choice would be
Spanish Stroll by Mink Deville. I would hazard a guess if people saw me on the catwalk they
would say – Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden.
Sarah, I am certain that they would not Run to the Hills, which is a great track, that reminds me of a younger me, moshing in a friend’s bedroom.
Just listened to Spanish Stroll, which I recognised instantly and made me smile, perfect for a catwalk xxx
Thank You Charlotte your a great girl.
“Walk This Way” by Aerosmith or “Enter Sandman” by Metallica. Not traditional by any means, but that’s who I am. Plus, I’ve seen fans of Virginia Tech (my team) jumping in heels, so why not do a catwalk in them?
Great choice, I can see it now,love both of of those tunes. x
Despite their unorthodox nature for a catwalk. Most of the time it is something pop or heavy bass. Well that ain’t me. I may be a lady, but I’m also a rocker
Hahaha..Great answer and tune, Love the Clash, take me back to my misspent youth. x
