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
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…
I do love old Boston and Aerosmith too great motivation
Ooh, I better check out your list too! I’m definitely more rock & roll!
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”
Yes I now need to add that one for sure!
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!
I got a great trial rate and now I am hooked!
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!
Britney and Shakira are a must for me
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.
Love me some Shakira too I will add that one thanks!
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.
OH no! Get your son to do it for you 🙂
Great ideas – I need some new tunes for the treadmill.
I get so bored if I don’t update often
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!
That’s why I got my daughter to take over!
Great song options, Deborah! I needed some new (and OLD!) tunes to add to my playlist, so this is perfect!! Thank you so much!!
You are welcome happy sweating!
Yes I definitely need a new playlist! I’ve been listening to the same songs forever! Thank you for sharing yours! Happy New Year!
Thanks! I get so tired of mine too it’s fun to reload every once in a while. Thanks for stopping in!
love this! especially duran duran!!
I know they are still one of my fave to sweat to
Yaaaas. These are some good ones!
Thanks! Happy new year
You have some of my faves on here! Love it!
Thanks! My daughter did a great job making it for me
I love the throwbacks. And now I can’t stop singing “Take on Me!”
Oh it’s a good one 🙂
LOVE SHACK.
Forever favorite. If that comes on, I am the happiest person!!
I know it’s a classic for sure
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!
I love AC/DC used to use them a ton when I taught spin class
I love working out to all throw backs! Helps keep me motivated!
Definitely!
Oooh yes! You picked some great songs here!
Why Not was totally my favourite song for a longggg time when I was a kid!
Ha ha my daughter and I used to sing it together all the time #LizzieMcGuire
I literally laughed out loud. I have most of these songs on my playlist right now!!! its a great list.
Great minds think alike!
You had me at Duran Duran and A-ha.
Always crowd favorites!
I don’t listen to music when I workout, but that’s a great playlist!
Thanks I dont’ run with music but I like it for my other workouts
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.
Wow that sounds really interesting I may check it out as well!
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.
Oh yes old Gwen is great too
I haven’t heard Pon De Replay in so long! I miss it!
It’s a great workout song
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.
Yes love that song it was kind of my motto last year. Need to add it back in
haha too fun! I LOVE throwin it back no matter what I’m doing!
It does make it more fun!
Love this playlist! Love Shack is great to workout to 🙂
It really is! Happy new year friend
I love these 🙂
Thanks so much! Happy new year
Great playlist! I don’t actually listen to much music – except in the car during my commute to/from work.
I mostly use it for my strength training workouts but driving to them is great too
I am still obsessed with Bailando! lol Definitely putting that on my wedding playlist 🙂
Oh it’s a great one for that!
