            That title is sort of its own nsfw warning.

              Le Freak- Chic

              Tusk- Fleetwood Mac

               

              I have Tusk.

               

              I think I'm going to out-date you.

               

              I only listen to music on the rare occasions I run on a treadmill, or on a stationary bike, to drown out the terrible gym music as much as anything but  "Mr Blue Sky" by ELO and "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth Wind and Fire increase my pace by about a minute a mile.

                I agree with you about Molly Hatchet...and there's certainly nothing bad about Flirtin', but it's so overplayed and they have so many songs that are so much more betterer!

                 

                ...but if it keeps you a'movin' and a'groovin' that's all that matters!

                 

                Gotta admit - Flirtin' is my all-time favorite MH tune, but seeing your post made me re-visit.  Headed out for a 6 mile run with a mix of the other "betterer" songs from MH a few days ago.  You're right, Stellars, there's a ton of good ones!  Only been running about six months now, so I'm still finding good mixes and playlists.

                  Anything by the group Knower! Another favorite of mine is the Pat Metheny Trio CD. Very cohesive for a medium long run.

                          When I'm working out, not running, I listen to some old songs that people may have forgotten.

                          Hold the Mayo

                            I ran a half on Sunday, and at one point on the rail trail a couple approached, then passed me.  The guy had his iPod playing over the speakers so both he and his girlfriend could hear it.  Normally that just annoys the heck out of me, but then a couple Mellencamp songs came on, and suddenly it wasn't annoying at all.

                             

                            One that especially got me pumped up was Authority Song

                            A little later on I caught a few bars of John Fogerty's Center Field drifting out of another runner's earbuds - that stuck in my mental iPod for a while too.

                              groove armada - superstylin'

                              My leg won't stop mooing.

                                Sexy Back. The original of this song is a fun running song but this version makes for great viewing. Jimmy Fallon and Justin TImberlake have a special kind of chemistry   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD8tGWIqA-c   Never been a Justin fan until he did several of these musical bits with Jimmy Fallon.
