What songs motivate you to move?

[Charles Henrickson]

peter gunn theme-blues brothers
wipe out-the surfaris

Good choices, especially the Peter Gunn Theme, by Henry Mancini--he wrote it and did a couple versions--or the Blues Brothers cover.

[Bud Krieger]

The best workout song of all time:

Gonna Fly Now ( Theme from “Rocky” )
Bill Conti

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Iron Maiden - The Trooper

[Brellium]

Ayumi Hamasaki

Ayu-Mix II, or pretty much any of the Ayu-mixes.

Here's some historic exercise songs going way back. (Down at the home, we all like to exercise our thumbs and pinky fingers to these classic old tunes -- maybe you could use them too!)     :)

Bits and Pieces

Hippy Hippy Shake

Twist and Shout

Funky Broadway

Papa Oom Mow Mow

Whole Lotta Shakin'

Smokestack Lightning

I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Chain of Fools

The Way You Do The Things You Do

Shop Around

Shotgun

19th Nervous Breakdown

You Got To Move

[Ronin]

Congratulations, you may have created a thread that will go down in FReeper lore!

I’m going to be bookmarking and researching the heck out of these because my workouts are extremely important to me and it’s vital to keep motivated.

“A Light in the Black”...Rainbow.

[Carlucci]

I Just discovered Trombone Shorty after hearing his terrific rendition of the National Anthem at the start of the Giants/Falcons game. Fantastic!

This one is definitely going in my workout playlist:

Marking, thanks. The gym I go to usually plays easy listening crap. Time to load up my droid with workout tunes. droid

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

“Buckeye Battle Cry” as performed by THE Ohio State University Marching Band - The Best Damned Band in the Land!

I also have a disc of college fight songs that I find motivating to listen to - except for that retched little ditty of that team Up North.

[dforest]

Old Man River.

LOL

[PJ-Comix]

Check your FreepMail.

[Cyber Liberty]

My Yes song is “Leave it.”

There is an acapella version of that on the iTunes release....

[gnarledmaw]

Holy Diver Dio

Disciples of Hell Yngwie Malmsteen (I cut off the acoustic entry)

Diamonds and Rust Judas Priest (live version from 79)

5150 Van Halen

Crazy Train Ozzy Osbourne (Randy Rhoads tribute album version)

Run to the Hills Iron Maiden

Prelude to Madness-Hall of the Mountain King Savatage

Night Train Guns n Roses

Stranglehold Ted Nugent

Into Sweet Debauchery Hardcore Superstar

One More Time Reckless Love (because if you dont scream in a song then it isnt true)

Death Row Crazy Lixx

Dont Stop the Sandman Rock Sugar (I like this better than either original)

[death2tyrants]

[dfwgator]

Just for you, may I suggest “Gator Country” by Molly Hatchet.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

DFW, I was waiting for the gator bait poke. Well played. Well played indeed!

[Winstons Julia]

This is happening accidentally, like “may your panties be full”....

[Winstons Julia]

I just got around to listening to this.

(I did work out today.)

This is a glorious piece of music! Thank you!

[Dysart]

Indeed; Oscar Peterson put out tons of glorious music, and that’s one of my favorites. Glad you enjoyed it, and hope you’re workout regime is going well. I was hiking this morning with my dog and ipod and this thread crossed my mind. Ha, FR! By the time you get through the catalog posted here you may be ready for a marathon.
