Time for a 80's montage
« 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
Logged
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

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.

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.
