Yee haw! It’s Thursday again! We are one day closer to the weekend and it’s also Playlist Thursday with Pavement Runner. It’s January 10, so he decided we should have fun with the number: “The best of the best. If you were going to list your top 10 songs to run or workout to, these would be three of them.”
I pulled up my 10K Running Playlist to continue with the *10* theme, and after much debate decided on the following three songs for this week…
Something Old
Artist: Spin Doctors
Title: Two Princes
Side note: Such a classic song that brings me right back to the 90s.
Quotable: “One, two princes kneel before you. That’s what I said now. Princes, princes who adore you. Just go ahead now”
Something New
Artist: One Direction
Title: Kiss You
Side note: Yep. I had to do it. One Direction is being featured again. What can I say, my inner fan-girl takes over sometimes and I don’t put up a fight. A friend asked me on Facebook the other day if they were the NKOTB of 2013, my response was “Yes, but with way cuter accents.” Oh, and I may or may not have followed the cute Irish one on Twitter the other day. OK, so I did.
Quotable: “Na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na.”
Something to Consider
Artist: Classified
Title: Anybody Listening
Side note: And now for something completely different. The fact of the matter is, no matter how many boy bands or one-hit-wonders that make their way onto my playlist this song by Classified will always take the top spot.
Quotable: “I don’t know if you really hearin me. But these lyrics seem to be my therapy. Guaranteed, I hear the beat. My stress gets released, ’til I feel at peace.”
If you want to join in on the fun here is how we play:
Every Thursday we create a list composed of 3 songs that can, or should be, added to your workout playlist. Here is the simple format:
Something Old: Songs that are at least 5 years old. (I know that isn’t too long to be considered old, but music turnover happens quickly.)
Something Current: Songs that have been released within the past year.
Something to Consider: This is the wild card category. Feel free to list any song: old, current, guilty pleasure, underground, whatever.
Before each song include: Artist, Title, Side Note: (Anything you want to say about the song) Quotable: (line from the song)
What are some songs in your top 10?
I LOVE that two princes song!
Yes! I love his hat too
There’s also a Sesame Street version of this song.
Great choices! I really like the Two Princes song!
