Dorky songs on your workout playlist! C’mon, we all have them.
What’s on your workout list?
If you’ve read my article about me boxing, you know I get INTO that shit. I like songs that pump up and kick ass.
Tops on my list:
- The Theme to Rocky. Of course. Because that’s the Nor’Easter running past you, through Queens, on her way to Philadelphia, where I’m going to run up those steps someday.
- “Eye of the Tiger” — the Survivor Version and the Gloria Gaynor version
- “I Will Survive” — speaking of Ms. Gaynor
- “We’re Not Gonna Take It” — Twisted Sister. Because I’m not going take it. I’m going to punch you, mofo.
- “Cum On Feel the Noize” — Quiet Riot. Yeah, I said Quiet Riot. Not Slade.
- “Theme to St. Elmo’s Fire” — because I am where the Eagles are flying, higher and higher
- “Straight Outta Compton’ — N.W.A. I could not be less outta Compton. I am a white woman from the suburbs of Boston. But I wrap up my hands and throw punches to this sweet ditty, I am gangsta.
- “Back in the Saddle” — Aerosmith. Because I am Boston girl, and I would love to play horsie with Steven Tyler.
I’m sorry, was that last one out loud?
