What is your favorite song to work out to?

I usually listen to audio books when I exercise, but I want to switch it up with some music for a while.

I don't like anything dirty or with foul language, but here are a few songs that I have and LOVE to work out to:

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
You Can Call Me Al - Paul Simon
If I Had a Million Dollars - Barenaked Ladies
Another One Bites The Dust - Queen
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

I want to add to my music library because I don't have a lot of fun, energetic, work out music (other than those listed above) so I want to know...

    I have a plethora of songs that I listen to but I love Fallout Boys. They make me feel like I'm running in an action movie! Haha! I also love The Killers and a few My Chemical Romance songs. Those are my really heart pumping numbers!

    My daughter and I love Fly, by Sugar Ray. I'll put it on when I'm cleaning the house because it really gets me moving and just makes you feel good. :)

    Oh, and Barenaked Ladies - One Week
    and Cake - Going the Distance

    Anything by the Gorillaz, Missy Elliot, Green Day, Ke$ha (don't judge me :tongue: ), or Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    Honestly, anything that has a good beat that gets me dancing. :glasses:

    Lately I really LOVE working out to "Gold Guns Girls" by Metric
    The last few minutes of the song she sings "More and more, more and more, more and more and more and more"
    and it literally makes me go more and more, lol. You should check it out!
    Also "Pogo" by Digitalism (Shininchi Osawa Remix), "1901" by Pheonix and "10:1" by Rogue Wave.
    All these make me wanna go faster and harder ^_^

    Uprising - Muse
    Hollaback girl - Gwen Stefani
    Survivor - Destiny's Child
    Independant Woman - Destiny's Child
