I have had the hardest time updating my summer playlist this year. It seems to me that we don’t have as many catchy, stick in your head, want to sing out loud songs as summer usually does. You know the ones I mean? The songs that you sing out loud while driving with the windows down. The songs you and your girlfriends sing on your girls night out.
While there are a few songs from this summer that I do find catchy (“Castle on the hill” and “Despacito”), I realized that many of the quintessential summer songs are a bit older. So what did I do? I went back and picked all of my favorites from the 80’s through today and piled them all into one Summer Running Through The Decades playlist. I can’t wait to share it with you.
Summer Running Through The Decades Playlist
I’ve got over 3 hours of sing out loud, summer classics for you all to sweat it out to. Which ones do you remember?
The 80’s were full of some of my faves: Irene Cara’s “what a feeling” and Kenny Loggins “Danger Zone”
The 90’s just make you want to “jump” with Kris Kross and dance it out with Paula Abdul’s “Opposites Attract”.
The recent 2000’s had us “never ever ever getting back together” with Taylor Swift and how about those sweat worthy Flo Rida songs? I do so miss early Britney and all her drama.
I can’t wait to sweat out today with my new Summer Running Through the Decades playlist. Hope I have given you a few new (old) songs to update your playlist with. It would be so fantastic if you all could let me know some of your faves you’d like to see me add. I’d love to update the playlist with all of our favorites and it could become a Community Playlist we all could sweat it out to.
Thoughts? Comments? “Call me Maybe”?

YAAAAAAAAAAAS Danger Zone. I LOVE THAT SONG. Also. I’m So Excited! Another great one.
Thanks hope you found a few to add to your list
There is a local band that plays in Virginia beach and they play nothing but 80s songs. So good!
That is always fun!
You’ve got a lot of fun songs on that playlist! My tastes tend more towards rock and alternative. Running music is so personal!
I do love lots of the classic rock songs as well but that’s another play list
I have zero playlists! I don’t listen to music when I run. I do like your idea of 80’s and 90’s music. One song I always love hearing is Safety Dance by Men without Hats:)
Admittedly, I use this music more for my gym workouts. I do love Safety Dance I will add that one thanks
Now Danger Zone will be playing in my head for the rest of the morning! Which is actually okay, though it’s been so long since I’ve heard it only the chorus keeps repeating. Over and over again. 😊
ha ha glad I could help
Thanks for the song ideas! I am always looking for new ones. I agree, there don’t seem to have been as many catchy ones this summer.
Thanks I hope I gave you a few ideas for yours
Hi Deborah! What a fun walk down music memory lane. I am all about getting in music ruts and love this new playlist.
Thanks so much I get so bored of my music too and just needed to sit down and make up a new one
Like you, I much prefer older songs form the 80s and 90s vs the new songs coming out today, lol
I know they were so much more catchy!
How fun! Seems like we both like a variety of music!!
Thanks I do like to mix up my music
I love your playlist! This is a perfect post to link up to our Tunes Tuesday since the theme for the month is about songs of summer!
I was just thinking about how fun Call Me Maybe was a few years ago, lol!
Ok I thought it was too late to linkup but I will
You missed the funky 70s! You need K.C. & the Sunshine Band [Boogies Shoes] and Kool & The Gang [Jungle Boogie] How about Long Cool Woman (by The Hollies). Anything by Stevie Wonder. I could go on and on. Oops…I think I’m telling my age.
Oh yea those are good ones! I will add them thanks
I’m always looking for new music. I need to to use my time laid up to create a back to the gym playlist!
Yes! Can’t wait to see it
Great songs! I have several of those on my Ipod as well. 😉
Thanks I try to keep adding to change it up
Awesome playlist! Always in need of a few new songs to get me motivated during a workout!
Thanks! Yes it’s fun to update frequently
What a fun playlist!! I always needs some new tunes 🙂
Thanks friend!
I could sing all day long to 80s songs. Wang Chung? I’m so in!
I miss the 80″s 🙂
YAY I’m going to listen to this for my next workout!! Thanks!
Fabulous! Happy sweating
At FitBloggin a few years ago, I definitely performed in the lip synching competition to Kris Kros’s Jump, haha. Love this playlist – so many fun songs!
ha ha that sounds fun!
What an awesome playlist!
Thanks love to mix it up!
This playlist looks so good! A good workout is always fueled by good music 🙂
Thanks and definitely agree!
This is such a great idea for a playlist! I’m going to add some of the songs to mine right now 🙂
Oh fabulous enjoy it
Always looking for new songs to add to my running playlist so I don’t get too bored! And what a great variety here. 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for checking them out and stopping by
Ohh what a fun playlist!
Thanks so much!
Looks like great playlists. I personally rarely listen to music while running, but if I did this would be great!
I actually use it for my strength training workouts. I am usually too busy chit chatting on my runs 🙂
Flashdance is still one of my absolute favorites!! Can’t believe how great these songs are still today!!
I love it too!
Such an awesome playlist, Deb! I am definitely stealing it! 😉
OH great enjoy!
