Songs that get you moving!

[sczos911]

I need to load my iPod up with moving songs - basically songs to get my butt shaking (not JIGGLING) on the treadmill when I run. And I admit - I'm not as "cool" as I once was, so I am lost when it comes to the latest songs out there.

Can you help me out?

 

[LenaGardner]

you don't need the latest songs!

We have a dance party at our house every night exactly 30 minutes before bed (it launches our bedtime routine at 6:30 every night). We listen to one or two upbeat songs and then one slow song.

Some of the kids' favorites are oldies but goodies:

Build me up Buttercup by the Foundations
Shake It by Metro Station
Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch
Gonna Make You Sweat by C &C Music Factory
Closer to Free by the Bodeans
Song 2 by Blur
Tumthumping by Chumbawumba

I'll add more if I think of it but I'm too lazy to get up and go find the playlist on the desktop right now

 

[kscwgirl]

Oh gosh I love tubthumping. I had forgotten about that song. LOL

New ones I like:
So What - Pink
Womanizer - Britney
Leavin' - Jesse McCartney

 

[Rae's World]

Lovin' that new song by Pink called 'So What.'

I have a lot of 80's dance mixes on mine. Keeps me going!!

We used to sing build me up buttercup while doing our start of practice runs in high school. SO FUN!

I could exercise to Timbaland's "The Way I Are" on repeat for 8903849023 hours. LOVE that song.

New Sensation
Devil Inside is a good stomping song!
I am also dorky enough to admit that NSync makes me move.

YOu and I think alike lizzy!!! I have both albums on my workout playlist!

 

[danagirl82]

I also have
Pussy cat dolls-when I grow up, I don't need a man, and don't cha
fall out boy
and Paramore (they are a little punk though)

 

[iJenny]

ok, call me crazy but I find that Britney's early stuff (Hit Me Baby, Stronger, etc) are good workout songs. They have a good beat that is perfect for the treadmill.

And I was also going to suggest Pink's "So What".

I agree ! You drive me crazy is awesome for a workout !

 

[mrshobbes]

No matter how sleepy i am, these get me moving:
"Waitaminute" by the Pussycatdolls
"Happy" by Square Heads
"Love Shack" by B52's
"Larger Than Life" by the Backstreet Boys
"Keep On Movin'" by Five (yep, I like my boy bands!)
"Step Into The Rhythm" by Klippers
"Absolutely Everybody" by Vanessa Amorosi

Oh, and I agree about Britney! Her early upbeats are fun (esp "Oops, I Did It Again," lol!)
