You know that annoying feeling when you press play at the gym or on a run and that same song you just heard in car comes on? I was getting very bored of my playlist and so my daughter finally took pity on me and made me this fantastic new playlist on Spotify I was excited to find some of my old favorites from years ago that I had completely forgotten about. We can all use a little music revamp right? Today I offer you a few new (old) songs to spice up your workout mix.
You know those songs that just make you want to sing out loud or run just a little faster? I am loving some of these new (old) songs and I am not embarrassed to say I’ve been singing with Hilary Duff, A-ha and Duran Duran lately. I’m taking some liberties with the Friday Five and giving you 10 fun songs to add to your sweat it out mix.
My Prerogative- Brittany
Why not?- Hilary Duff
Walking On Sunshine- Katrina & the waves
Hungry like the wolf-Duran Duran
Love Shack- B-52’s
Hollaback girl- Gwen Stefani
Bailando- Spanish version Enrique Iglesias
That’s not my name-The Ting tings
Pon de Replay- Rihanna
Take on me- A-ha
You can check out my full new (old) playlist below. I’d love to follow you on Spotify as well so I can keep updating my playlist. Don’t forget to let me know your username in the comments.
What songs are making you sing out loud lately? Do you get sick of your music?
Deborah’s Ultimate Sweat Mix
Linking up today with
Friday Five- Fairytales & fitness and Running on Happy
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
Isn’t it fun to revisit songs from the past? I’m more of a rock and roll kind of gal, and my playlist has some old chestnuts from Aerosmith, The Allman Bros, and Boston right now…
Deborah Brooks says
I do love old Boston and Aerosmith too great motivation
Debbie @ Coach Debbie Runs says
Ooh, I better check out your list too! I’m definitely more rock & roll!
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
I don’t listen to music much, except in the car, anymore (which is kind of sad). You’ve definitely got some good ones on your list (and some ones I don’t know).
In a tribute to George Michael (man, this week was sad) — “Wake Me Up Before You GoGo”
Deborah Brooks says
Yes I now need to add that one for sure!
Debbie @ Coach Debbie Runs says
Admittedly I usually listen to a good book, but sometimes I need to feel like I’m dancing down the road. Now I’d better join Spotify!
Deborah Brooks says
I got a great trial rate and now I am hooked!
[email protected] says
Haha!! I have hungry like the wolf on mine…. I also have Britney Spears Oops I Did It Again…. and a lot of Shakira! I need to add Take On Me!
Deborah Brooks says
Britney and Shakira are a must for me
Lesley says
I have Try Everything by Shakira from Zootopia. I knew immediately that I needed that song, and bought it when I got home after seeing the movie. I do have staples and songs I love, but I rotate them out and back in so I don’t get tired of them.
Deborah Brooks says
Love me some Shakira too I will add that one thanks!
Coco says
I’m still mad at my phone for losing my playlists. I know I should be mad at myself for not backing them up. I need to suck it up and make new ones.
Deborah Brooks says
OH no! Get your son to do it for you 🙂
Cynthia @ You Signed Up For WHAT?! says
Great ideas – I need some new tunes for the treadmill.
Deborah Brooks says
I get so bored if I don’t update often
Meranda@Fairytalesandfitness says
Ha, I only know 2 of those songs. I’d say I need an update as well but i’m not good downloading things to my ipod so it takes me longer than it probably should!
Deborah Brooks says
That’s why I got my daughter to take over!
Angela says
Great song options, Deborah! I needed some new (and OLD!) tunes to add to my playlist, so this is perfect!! Thank you so much!!
Deborah Brooks says
You are welcome happy sweating!
Katie Shepherd says
Yes I definitely need a new playlist! I’ve been listening to the same songs forever! Thank you for sharing yours! Happy New Year!
Deborah Brooks says

Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says
I love the throwbacks. And now I can’t stop singing “Take on Me!”
Deborah Brooks says
Oh it’s a good one 🙂
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
LOVE SHACK.
Forever favorite. If that comes on, I am the happiest person!!
Deborah Brooks says
I know it’s a classic for sure
Kimberly Hatting says
It’s been awhile since I’ve done any playlist editing. I’m pretty happy with most of what’s there…though there are a few that I repeatedly skip whenever they pop up LOL. I’m SO hooked on “old” classic rock tunes…AC/DC is one of my favs!
Deborah Brooks says
I love AC/DC used to use them a ton when I taught spin class
abbey sharp says
I love working out to all throw backs! Helps keep me motivated!
Deborah Brooks says
Definitely!
Kristy from Southern In Law says
Oooh yes! You picked some great songs here!
Why Not was totally my favourite song for a longggg time when I was a kid!
Deborah Brooks says
Ha ha my daughter and I used to sing it together all the time #LizzieMcGuire
Brandi says
I literally laughed out loud. I have most of these songs on my playlist right now!!! its a great list.
Deborah Brooks says
Great minds think alike!
Rachel says
You had me at Duran Duran and A-ha.
Deborah Brooks says
Always crowd favorites!
MCM Mama Runs says
I don’t listen to music when I workout, but that’s a great playlist!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks I dont’ run with music but I like it for my other workouts
Jenn says
I mix up my music pretty frequently. Most recently, my yoga instructor did this amazing track of violin covers, and it was so emotional that I found the selection on spotify and ran to that. I use the Hamilton soundtrack frequently, and I have a good blend of old and new stuff in my iTunes.
Deborah Brooks says
Wow that sounds really interesting I may check it out as well!
Anna @ Piper's Run says
I love Gwen Stefani’s old stuff (Hollaback girl), it brings back good memories. I haven’t had much time to put play lists together but might have to start making this a priority again soon.
Deborah Brooks says
Oh yes old Gwen is great too
Carmy says
I haven’t heard Pon De Replay in so long! I miss it!
Deborah Brooks says
It’s a great workout song
Karen - Fit in France says
Your sweat mix looks just like mine ! 🙂 If you throw Titanium (Sia & David Guetta) in there on every other song then we would be best song friends.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes love that song it was kind of my motto last year. Need to add it back in
Sarah Grace Spann says
haha too fun! I LOVE throwin it back no matter what I’m doing!
Deborah Brooks says
It does make it more fun!
Akaleistar says
Love this playlist! Love Shack is great to workout to 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
It really is! Happy new year friend
Amy @ WillRun4Icecream says
I love these 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much! Happy new year
Clarinda says
Great playlist! I don’t actually listen to much music – except in the car during my commute to/from work.
Deborah Brooks says
I mostly use it for my strength training workouts but driving to them is great too
Patty @ Reach Your Peak says
I am still obsessed with Bailando! lol Definitely putting that on my wedding playlist 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Oh it’s a great one for that!
