<p>I hsve no interest in rap either…</p>
<p>I like Heartbreaker and What I Like about You on 1moremom’s list.</p>
<p>That’s a great website.</p>
<p>I added it to my homepage. I’ll do some analysis on it to create a running playlist. I have a ton of songs but it would be nice to have this attribute for selecting songs for running.</p>
<p>There are a few rap songs in my music library. MIB is one of them - I don’t know if that’s strictly rap though.</p>
<p>I teach spin classes so I have loads </p>
<p>My current favorites </p>
<p>“Yeah Yeah” -Willy Moon
“Pompeii” -Bastille
“Too Close” - Alex Clare
“I will wait” -Mumford and Sons
“Don’t you Worry child” -Swedish House Mafia</p>

“We are Young” -Fun
“Wavin Flag”- Knaan (Kind of slow -think hills)
“My Body” -Young the Giant

<p>Garland -what a sweet, up beat song to have at a wedding -not your typical wedding song -I like it .</p>
<p>Musicamusica
LOL
I feel like that occasionally while working out
"Everyone Weep with me "</p>
<p>Veruca–it’s going to be an outdoor wedding near the beach, so we sure hope they’ll be lots of sunshine! </p>
<p>Sorry, dstark–thread hijack.</p>
<p>I’ll suggest another song to make up for it:</p>
<p>Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers: “Roadrunner”</p>

<p>And for cool down - 88 lines about 44 women - The Nails (the uncensored version ;))</p>
<p>Garland, lol. I am confused though. Two sunshine songs or the same one?</p>
<p>One was my recommendation for exercising to. The other was the one Veruca mentioned that I off-topicked about. Sorry for the confusion :).</p>
<p>I teach Zumba; here are some (non-Latin) songs I have used that you might like</p>

<p>I have tons more ideas; if you are interested in some Latin/international music let me know and I’ll post some that are particularly good…</p>
<p>U2-Bad
Yonder Mountain String Band-Boatman

<p>I’ve got an application called BPMer that I downloaded ($20). It goes through your iTunes library and measures the beats per minute of most of the songs. There is a column in iTunes for BPM, so you can sort your songs by beats per minute. </p>
<p>I like to walk around 4.5 mph. I’ve got about 100 songs that range from 120-150 bpm, although the sweet spot is 134-136. I’m pretty new at running, so haven’t worked out the best speed for me for that, but I’ve got another group of about 25 songs in the 150s and 160s. This was a nice way to identify songs in my existing playlist to walk or run to.</p>

T Rex-Bang a Gong
