Boney M., The Beatles, David Bowie, Tom Jones and the Spice Girls are included on an official government Coronation playlist, published on Spotify.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has chosen 27 tracks as a suggested street party soundtrack.
Picked by the DCMS without any external input, the Coronation party selection initially featured 28 - but a Dizzee Rascal track quickly disappeared.
The grime artist was convicted last year of assaulting his former partner.
"A track featuring Dizzee Rascal was included in error - and as soon as this was identified, it was removed," a DCMS spokeswoman said.
King Charles III will be crowned on Saturday, 6 May, alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort, who has been a longstanding campaigner against domestic violence.
The playlist published on Monday seems to nod more towards the golden oldies or, as the DCMS suggests, "classics".
The singalong choice begins with The Beatles and the message Come Together, followed by Boney M.'s Daddy Cool.
Recall that for the third time Boney M. participate in the most important events associated with the British royal family. Back in November 1979, they shone on the stage of the Royal Drury Lane theater in the famous gala show The Royal Variety Performance. In 1978, the Caribbean Four received the title of the best group of the year, and therefore it is not surprising that they were invited to participate in such a prestigious concert. In 2005 Boney M. feat. Maizie Williams was invited to perform at the wedding celebrations of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, and this year, 2023, their very first hit was included in the official playlist of celebrations in honor of the coronation of King Charles III.
The party playlist also includes:
The Kinks: Waterloo Sunset
Madness: Our House
Kate Bush: Running Up That Hill
Grace Jones: Slave to the Rhythm
The Proclaimers: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
Emeli Sande: Starlight
George Ezra: Dance All Over Me
Harry Styles: Treat People With Kindness
A spokeswoman said the playlist had been selected to "celebrate British and Commonwealth artists ahead of the upcoming Coronation".
The selected songs appear on a new website with information about marking the Coronation.
It includes recipe ideas for parties, including Ken Hom's Coronation lamb and Nadiya Hussain's Coronation aubergine. Coronation chicken was invented for Queen Elizabeth's coronation, in 1953.
Street parties
Details have begun to emerge about events planned for the Coronation long weekend.
This will include traditional sights such as the carriage procession and appearances on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
But there will be no lighting of beacons, ending a tradition from previous jubilees and coronations.
The Coronation service, at Westminster Abbey, is expected to be more diverse and shorter than the previous three-hour ceremony, in 1953.
On 7 May, there will be a concert and lightshow at Windsor Castle and street parties during the day.
The extra bank holiday, on 8 May, will highlight local volunteering projects.

Первый большой хит Boney M. включён в официальный плэйлист коронации Карла III и королевы Камиллы
Напомним, что Boney M. уже в третий раз участвуют в наиболее важных мероприятиях, связанных с британской королевской семьёй. Ещё в ноябре 1979-го группа Boney M. была приглашена на главный концерт года, где присутствовали первые лица Соединённого королевства. Елизавета II тогда лично приветствовала артистов, посетив их в кулуарах театра Royal Drury Lane. В 1978-м году карибская четвёрка получила звание лучшей группы года и поэтому нет ничего удивительного, что их пригласили для участия в столь престижном концерте. В 2005-м году Boney M. feat. Maizie Williams были приглашены для выступления на свадебных торжествах принца Чарльза и Камиллы Паркер-Боулз, а в нынешнем, 2023-м, их самый первый хит включили в официальный плэйлист праздничных гуляний в честь коронации короля Карла III, которая состоится 6-го мая.
Как сообщает британская вещательная корпорация BBC, утверждённый официальный плэйлист включает, помимо "Daddy Cool" от Boney M., хиты таких артистов как The Beatles ("Come Together"), David Bowie ("Let's Dance"), Tom Jones ("Green Green Grass Of Home") и Spice Girls ("Say You'll Be There"). Потоковый музыкальный сервис Spotify уже запустил в ротацию указанный плейлист. Остальные трэки из "королевского списка":
The Kinks: Waterloo Sunset
Madness: Our House
Kate Bush: Running Up That Hill
Grace Jones: Slave to the Rhythm
The Proclaimers: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
Emeli Sande: Starlight
George Ezra: Dance All Over Me
Harry Styles: Treat People With Kindnes
