    Don't hate me but the other one that gets me right now is...... Fox Song by Ylvis..... stupid stupid song... but damnit.... stupid stupid.

    So. Freaking. Catchy.

    I know right? Even hubby normally hates songs that are like that... but he stated it's stuck in his head.

    I could kill my son for making me play that one.

    Big Band/Swing music .... 'Sing, Sing, Sing' - Benny Goodman, 'In the Mood'- Glenn Miller are two of my favorites ...

    'The Charleston' and 'Puttin' on the Ritz' are other favorite ...

    I admit that I really like Korean Pop music when I'm working out. Fast, poppy beats always do the trick for me! If you're looking for specific recommendations I guess I'd try 2ne1 and T-ara.

    Bangarang -Skrillex Ft. Sirah
    First of the Year - Skrillex
    Back In Time - Pitbull
    Dynamite - Taio Cruz
    Be Together - Ni Ni
    Candy - From the DDR 3 game
    Caramelldansen (Rye Remix) - Caramell
    Cartoon Heroes (Speedy Mix) - DDR Game
    Club Thrall Remix - Myndflame
    Still Alive (Raddox Remix) - From Portal
    I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

    Gangnam Style (Glee Cast Version) - Glee
    Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO Ft. Lauren Bennett and GoonRock
    DDR Project 4 - Various Contributors (This is originally an hour long music video)

    I mostly pick songs based on a beat I can walk/kinda jog at... as I'm just getting to a point where I am trying to speed up as opposed to surviving my daily hour long walk. However, I like these songs and obviously have a taste for remixed, electronic songs as well as a softspot for glee.
