I have started a slide show for our Brownie Troop and will put it to Music. I need ideas for songs for girls, meetings, cookies, Father Daughter Dance, Caroling, Swimming, Outdoors, Scout Things they have done as Scouts this year. I'm pretty corny, I did one year before last and for the pictures of their Science Try It it "She Blinded me With Science" played in the background. Then for an activity where they made masks "Who's that Girl"-Annie Lenox/Eurythmics. The ideas just aren't coming yet so I thought I'd ask for help. Thanks!

P.S. I'm using Windows Movie Maker, which is pretty slick and came free with Windows......

So What Happened?

Thanks So Much! I've used a suggestion from each of your emails! They all fit and some will be REALLY fun, like "I don't like spiders and snakes" as we visited a Naturalist who let the girls hold a tarantulla and a corn snake (LOL) And I LOVE the Pogues! Nice break form the Girl Power songs ;-). Even Born this way can be used, I can cut it up and fade out (sure there are more proper technical terms but that's what happens with the file :-)

For Fourth of July you could do "Firework by Katy Perry, Father Daughter dance~"Monster Mash" or "Please Daddy won't you dance with me", Outdoors could be "Spiders and Snakes" Caroling could be "Baby It's Cold Outside", for Girls "I Love Being A Girl", Scout things~"You've Got A Friend, ~ I hope these can give you ideas to get your brain kick started! : )

I LOVE the idea of "Sugar, Sugar" for the cookie part!

Father/daughter dance "What a wonderful World"?

Outdoors--what is the song for the Subaru Forester commercial on right now? Oh! "If I Should Fall from Grace with God". It's by the Pogues

Best Friend by Queen, Whenever I See Your Smiling Face, both work well for group activites & general feelings of "buddies"!

What about the intro song from Toy Story, You Got a Friend In Me? When I make slideshows of my kids pics, I love to put that one in because it's so cute.

Hi, I just saw this so you may have completed your project by now, but I thought of "Isn't She Lovely" (70s Stevie Wonder) for the father-daughter dance, and the GS NorCal song Oceans of Goodness for the swimming (although not as funny as Splish Splash or Keep on Swimming!). I also really like the Promise Song if you have any pics from an investiture or rededication, and Linger for a campfire or end of year scene. Would love to see your finished product!
