My playlist for working out has gotten too repetitive

What are some suggestions of great upbeat songs that you use to motivate yourself through your workouts???

    La Roux - Bulletproof
    The Sounds - Song With a Mission
    Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
    Cobra Starship - Good Girls Go Bad
    Justin Timberlake - Sexyback
    Flo Rida - Right Round
    Katy Perry - Waking Up in Vegas

    Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You
    Britney Spears - If U Seek Amy
    Kanye West - Homecoming
    Lady Gaga - Telephone

    I have the usual popular pop and hip hop songs on my iPod, but to change it up (and this may be odd coming from a 20 year old), I also threw on some disco... Some Bee Gees, Barry White (My First, My Last, My Everything is currently my favorite work out song... It puts me in such a good mood!), Village People, Wild Cherry, etc.

    It's just up beat and fun, and it puts me in a dancing mood, so when I'm doing the stair stepper or something I get pumped up rather than feeling like I'm dragging.

    I should also add that Queen's greatest hits may be some of the greatest workout songs ever. So motivational for some reason!
