I need to add some music to my playlist for running. I like peppy, bouncy, happy, upbeat dance music. Here's my current list and I would welcome any and all suggestions:
Don't Stop Me Now; Queen
Single Ladies; Beyonce
Ray of Light; Madonna
Jai Ho; SLum Dog Millionaire Soundtrack
Perfect Day; Hoku
Another Dumb Blonde; Hoku
Please help! I know nothing about music these days except for kids' music (although Happy Noodle v. Sad Noodle is an epic!).

I know nothing new, but Go-Go's Greatest was a fantastic workout soundtrack when I actually found time to exercise a few weeks ago. How about Cyndi Lauper's "She's So Unusual"? Or did you want something newer than 27 years old, lol? "Best of Blondie"?

You can't go wrong with Lady Gaga. I also think that Head On by the Pixies is, hands down, the best song for running ever written. My list includes:
ReplyDeleteShort skirt Long Jacket - Cake
La Vie Boheme - Rent
Wannabe - Spice Girls
Pop Song 89 - REM
Come Anytime - Hoodoo Gurus
Cannonball - the Breeders
Ana Ng - TMBG
I am so with you on Single Ladies - but sometimes I have to stop running and dance a little.
I shudder to think about what this list reveals about my personal neuroses!
Here are a few I think you might like, both old and new. The farther down the list you get, the more of a stretch I think they are.
ReplyDeletePure and Simple- Lightning Seeds
Einstein on the Beach- Counting Crows
American Boy- Estelle and Kanye West
Viva La Vida- Coldplay
Why Can't We Be Friends- Reel Big Fish
Girlfriend- Avril Lavigne
Temperature- Sean Paul
Stronger- Kanye West
I'm still stuck in the 80s and 90s, but let's see...
