As I hit the trail today, in the effort to run off the obnoxious amount of calories that went down the hatch on Thanksgiving, I realized I’m a titch bored with my current playlist. These tunes still do the trick, but there’s nothing like new music to fuel the fire, eh?
So, I thought it might be fun to have a playlist swap. I wanted to get all fancy, so that you could click on the song and listen to it, but I didn’t have the patience or the mental bandwidth to figure that out. . .
In no particular order, here are some of my faves for running. Or vacuuming the house with extra fervor:
- Little Lion Man – Mumford and Sons
- American Girl – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
- Seven Bridges Road – Eagles
- Bohemian Like You – Dandy Warhols
- Goody Two Shoes – Adam Ant
- No Silver – Chris Bathgate
- Safety Dance – Men without Hats
- Zombie – The Cranberries
- Desire – U2
- Crazy – Seal
What songs put you in the mood to shake your tail feathers?

Hi Betty,
A few of my fave songs for running:
1. Footloose – Kenny Loggins (yes, this dates me)
2. Runaway – Bruno Mars
3. I Gotta Feelin’ – Black Eyed Peas
4. Fame – Irene Cara (I just loved the 80’s)
5. Club Can’t Handle Me – Flo Rida
6. Hold On Loosely – 38 Special
7. Raise Your Glass – Pink
8. Workin’ Day and Night – Michael Jackson
I could go on and on…:)
Thanks, Bryn! I don’t have any of those songs on my iPod, except for Footloose, so this will definitely beef up my playlist. MJ has lots of good running tunes — Black or White is one of my faves, too. Hope you had a great Turkey Day!
Off the top of my pointed head:
Tubthumping – Chumbawumba
Born To Run (almost entire album) – Springsteen
Superman – Lazlo Bane
Dracula From Houston – Butthole Surfers
Sweet Home Alabama – Lynrd Skynrd
Out of the 7,550 songs on my iPod, i’d say at least a third get me totally pumped.
“Dracula from Houston by the Butthole Surfers?” Are you making that up?!
If I was that imaginative, I’d be published already!
Tell me it’s not catchy….
It is oddly catchy, yes. Will download it!
