Title: Time for a 80's montage
Post by: Doombot on August 16, 2007, 10:51:53 PM
Let's make a workout playlist! (Songs from any era will do)

Here's my suggestions.

Eye of the Tiger
Daft Punk: Better, Faster Stronger
Let's Get Physical.
That Karate Kid song: "Your the best... around... nothing's gonna get you down..."
Anything by the Village People (YMCA, MACHO MAN, IN THE NAVY)
Twisted Sister: We're not gonna take it.
Black Eyed Peas: Let's Get Retarded
Rott Zombie: Dragula

No no no... the montage is 80's. You know the series of shots fading into another where they show a long period of time into 10 seconds?

Rocky? Revenge of the Nerds?

Ohhh, I getcha.
You were referring to... right. Yep. On the same page.

Add these to your workout playlist if you feel the need to hate upon yourself:
Fat - Weird Al
Grapefruit Diet - Weird Al

Or don't, ya know. Whatever works.

I'd post my own compilation, but I dont work out.

I dunno' for sure if "Let's Get Physical" was really about exercise.  :stunned:

As for the song from Karate Kid, you typed it a little bit wrong.  It should be as follows: "You're-the-best...ARRROOOOOOND!!!...nothin'sgonna'everkeepyoudown!!!

I dunno, I kind of like that song "Shake It" by Eminem and Nate Dogg.  Has a good beat, though questionable lyrics.

My current workout playlist includes (amongst others):

K's Choice - Not An Addict (for my warm up)
Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh, and Bow River
ACDC - You Shook Me All Night Long
Bon Jovi - Hey God, and One Wild Night
Blondie - Call Me, and Heart of Glass
Chumbawumba - Tubthumping
Guns 'n' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child 'O Mine, and Paradise City
Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
Gary Jules - Mad World (cool down)

It's just about time to change it around a bit, so I think I'll drop off the Blondie and Alanis Morrisette, and add in some Midnight Oil, Screaming Jets, The Living End, and maybe some Angels.

And Brug... I am not sure you got the 'flavor' of this exercise...

Half those songs are sleepers. Good songs, but not pump-up work-out songs. 

I mean- come on!  Against the Wind?  I looove Segar (I'm a Detroit boy, for crying out loud) but to work out to?

Depends on what exactly you are doing. If you're on the treadmill then Against the Wind is a great running song. My personal preference when walking or running is to start with a slower songs, build up to faster songs and then come down with slower songs again.

Trance or Metal work for me. 


(I know.  I'm diverse and weird.)

Absolutely.  I find when I'm cycling for an hour straight, if I don't inject a few slower songs, the hard core ones seem watered down.  But listening to Gunners right after two Blondie songs, really gets you moving again.  It's impossible for a mere mortal such as myself to stay at 100% for an hour.  A few periods of lower intensity really let you hit those peaks between.
