As we celebrate Singapore's 50th birthday this year, what better way to do so than appreciating the tunes that tug at our heartstrings? You couldn't be more Singaporean when you can remember the lyrics and melody to many of these songs even if you have not sung them in years.

This list of songs is going to be eclectic and very rojak. Just like Singapore. Play the songs in the background while you go about your SG50 weekend!
