What's Your Favorite Hill Song?

[smittykitty]

When climbing hills I like to think of a good song to sing in my head. Old McDonald Has a Farm is all I could think of the other day!!!!! I end up just saying "Yes I Can, Yes I Can". (And I did!)

I really need a new song! Any ideas? What helps you ladies up those hills?

Foo Fighters' "All My Life."

DONE DONE ON TO THE NEXT ONE
DONE I'M DONE AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT ONE
DONE DONE ON TO THE NEXT ONE
DONE I'M DONE AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT

I love it but I hate the taste...

Lyle Lovett: Long Tall Texan. It has the perfect cadence for me.

Fair Exchange by Be Bob Deluxe

Now Venus De Milo a statue of note
She lays in the gutter, with a knife in her throat
Naked as sin no, not even a coat
She gave you a thrill so you gave her a grope
It's a fair exchange

[OakLeaf]

Snap, yikes!

Snap, yikes!

I have no idea why, but that is the song that gets into my head when I'm working hard --

[missjean]

I don't know what the name is, but it goes "bring me little water Sylvie, bring me little water now...bring it in a bucket Sylvie, bring it in a bucket now...every little once and a while"

It's on an old movie soundtrack CD that I have -zydeco music - movie with Dennis Quaid, New Orleans detective, beautiful blond DA, corrupt cops, can't remember the name.

I'm not familiar with that song, but the movie is The Big Easy, with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin. Great zydeco music.

My hill song is probably not any better than "Old McDonald Had a Farm." I am also pretty sure it doesn't say anything very good about me, but from the Wizard of Oz - Almira Gulch's song, when she is riding away on her bike with Toto in her basket. No words, just tada tada ta dada... It's okay, though, one day our group was out riding and one of the other rider's commented that the tree we had just passed reminded her of the apple-throwing tree in the Wizard of Oz. Hmm.

[Chicken Little]

The boss: There's a darkness on the edge of town.

Thanks for all the replys. This has been really fun to read. I should be able to find myself a new, motivating tune now. How to choose? Thanks.

No more Ole' McD's Farm for me!

I can't stand the song, and I can't ever remember the lyrics - but as soon as my legs start to burn even the littlest bit.


And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
...then my mind makes up stupid stuff that sort of rhymes after that.

[tealtreak]

Wow, I feel so embarrassed that some of you have such sweet and light motivating songs, I always end up singing "knock em down" by dropkickmurphy or any other embarrassingly violent fight song! Especially on really technical uphills (which I love!) but I just seem to need that "get mad" feel............

[smittykitty]

Maybe more "mad feel" would be "more better" for getting me up those hills.

Nursery rhymes aren't cutting it. And where do they come from anyway. My kids are grown, no grand kids yet. Songs I haven't thought of in 25+ years.
