Guilty Pleasure Workout Song

edited February 5 in Chit-Chat
So, I was at the gym the other day, and was looking at everyone listening to their headphones. I started thinking about when I first started going to the gym. In my mind everyone was listening to typical workout music (driving rock, metal, hip hop, etc). Well, when I first started going that is what I listened to, as well. After listening to the same 100 some songs I started to branch out my music selections based on what I was doing, time of day, etc.

Now, I have some guilty pleasure songs that if someone heard what I was listening to I would definitely lose cool points. Currently, my top 2 are:

-Gangnam Style
-Push It

What are some of yours?

    I can get behind that. Guilty pleasure? If anyone looks at my music selection they'll wonder about me. I have all kinds of stuff - country, metal, rap, blues, alternative, "easy listening" (yes, Sophie B Hawkins is amazingly talented), classical, jazz etc

    I pretty much listen to anything at least twice before I discard it.

    Skcardiog - you are winning this one! I love that song, as well. I usually listen to it when I am looking at myself in the mirror.

    Lurve - sometimes, when I want something different in my Christian music I will pull out the Sister Act 2 soundtrack. Joyful, Joyful would be my Christian Music guilty pleasure :)
