Song Report

Last night was the opening game for the Washington Redskins, who played the Minnesota Vikings ("my" team from when I was a kid, because they have purple uniforms). Of course, the 'skins lost. We were talking about it at work this a.m., and now I have "Purple People Eater" going through my head.

But for cycling, I think of this FatBoy Slim song and video of LA:

I think they said the song is called "Acid 8000" but I just call it "Booty" - as in "If that don't make your booty move, your booty must be dead."
It's my inspiration for the hills!

Thanks, BG! Now I am going to go to the morning meeting with that in my head!

Yes, what did happen to them?

When I'm cycling...there are a few songs that pop up now and again..and bear in mind this has no relation to my normal tastes in music!

1) From Finding Nemo "Just Keep Swimming" but it's morphed into "just keep peddling".

2) Chumbawumba's "I get knocked down" song...(I'm not sure of the real name)...because I heard that the pace of that song is about a cadence of 90.

3) "I Melt With You" by Modern English...from the 80's. When I played a lot of tennis (in my younger days) and my concentration would wane, singing this song in my head would help me bring it back into focus. Same thing on a bike...when I start to whine about my pains (in my head), I substitute this song and it keeps me going....

I'm weird.

The song's name is "Tubthumping"

Whatever that is.

I'm here for you.

Those are some deep lyrics...

**Bad JuJu** · 09-12-2006, 05:38 PM

Ooh ooh, is that one that goes "I get knocked down, but I get up again"? I play that one in my all the time--I think it's my default song.

Anyone else see that Vanilla Mini-Wheats commercial...the one with dancing cartoon mini-wheats on a tropical island? The tune is SO catchy; can't get that one out of my head....
Better, though, than the Bay City Rollers' song I had lodged in there for the past couple of days....

OMG! I love that song!! And yes, I confess, I OWN the movie "Valley Girl".

Oh lord, I said that outloud didn't I???

Is it..... S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!

I always know I have been on the bike too long or am planning to be on the bike too long, not when my legs are burning and I can't breath, but when "Yellow Submarine" comes out of my head. The first time it happened I did my first century. I think it was about mile 30... Surprising how well Yellow Submarine holds up over 70 miles...

Ah! I knew the album was 'Tubthumping' but I didn't realize that was the name of that song as well. It really sucks when I can't remember enough of the words, so only one stupid line repeats over and over and over and over and...

I have Saturday Night on my iPod, it's a great song to hammer away to, if a little bubble-gummy! Sadly, the one orbiting in my head was "I only Wanna Be With You".

I couldn't shift that sucker until this appeared on TV:

A definite improvement!

Do I need to get a life, or what..?

**Running Mommy** · 09-13-2006, 08:33 AM

TAINTED LOVE!!!!! For some reason that song always seems to worm into my brain when I'm getting really tired. UGH!!
