Songs that children can use actions to like Incy Wincy Spider and Twinkle Twinkle are good for toddlers.
Also just having music that increases in tempo /volume and then down again is good for children to dance with - using scarves (or birdie wings as my kids call them) They will change their dance to suit the rhythm, beat and volume of the music.
Some energetic songs like dinosaur stomp to get out some untapped energy or quiet lullabies when there is a need to settle children.
