Below is a list of songs that at least have some chance of making it into a Love Commandos set. It should give you a flavour of the music that we play. I would like to point out, however, that we feel that most of them are too slow so we endeavour to speed them up. At least that is our excuse and we are sticking with it.
NB: If the links don't work, email me so that I can update them.
