Since I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, I decided to beat the pack and start back at the gym after Christmas. I was very proud of myself, that is until I saw all the people who never stopped going in the first place. But I will say in my defense, I have been building my strength back up. And now I’m almost there – damn it hurrah!
Julz post got me thinking about what music I have on my iPod. Like many people, I have playlists for different moods. In anticipation of hitting the gym again, I created a playlist strictly for working out. And you know what?
Come closer cause this is kind of embarassing.
Mum’s the word, ok?
I hate to admit this.
I have some really bad funky music on my iPod.
Here are just a few of the songs:
Bad Girls
YMCA
Foxey Lady
Theme From Shaft
Wooly Bully
Do Ya Think I’m Sexy
It’s Raining Men
Rock and Roll, Hootchie Koo
We Are Family
Boogie Shoes
Staying Alive
Crocodile Rock
Like Julz, I may have lost music cred, but at least these bopping songs keep me moving on the bike and treadmill. So there!
Let the jokes begin. Oh and I want to hear about your playlists too!
Hey, this Baby Boomer thinks you made some good choices, especially since a good dance beat will facilitate a good workout! I don’t have an iPod, but if I did, I’d include Its Raining Men!
There is nothing wrong with the theme song from Shaft. Can ya dig it?
And while I was embarassed over some of my CDs, I will admit without shame that I have the Right Said Fred CD. And I love it. Two gym owners who made a funky CD specifically for working out.
…and on my old phone, Crocodile Rock was my ringtone.
I never make fun of anybody’s music. It’s a professional code. Happy New Year, Lisa. Hit the gym with whatever.
Woah. Is it just me or did your blog get a facelift?
I think it all about whatever creates motivation and makes your shoes move or dance or whatevah! Besides, that’s why you have ear buds, right!
That’s Guh-Reat music!!!
Your iPod, your music. I bet those who point a finger at your music choice are exercising their ‘finger’ only…lol
You go girl!
Most of those are ok by me, but Wooly Bully? and even worse… Rod Stewart? Come on!!!! LOL just teasing!!
Good for you on the workouts and stuff….
We have two macs in the house and NO IPOD!!! INSANE !!
Do you think I’m sexy as in Rod Stewart? you know he’s into classics now? Hmmm…got to get IPOD in 2007!!
Miss C – Why thank you! I love that song too, so darn funny
Julz – I SO dig it. LOL!
Bud – You are such a class act my friend. Happy New Year back atcha!
Mal Snay – I just changed my blog skin back to the original header. You can still access my other header by clicking on “Lisa by Night” on my sidebar.
Seamus – Thank heavens for earbuds! LMAO!
DutchBitch – Why thank you!
Glo – I bet you are right! Happy new year, dear.
Se7 – Oh so you like the Village People? That’s good to know
Thanks Hon!
mrsmogul – I love my iPod – fun toy!
And yes it’s Rod Stewart lol. And I don’t care for his classics…
YMCA? OK, now that is bad!! lol!
oh, and the no smoking/no drinking new year’s resolution? i was TOTALLY joking!!!
I knew there was more to you… the very first song on your IPod is Bad Girls? The same Bad Girls that Donna Summer song?? Very cool…
Hey, at least you have some Hendrix and Rick Derringer(or is it Johnny Winters’ version?). Oh, and Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, too!
Those sound like great exercising songs, if that weren’t in itself, oxymoronic. Yikes. Exercise (*sophmom covers her ears and eyes lest the very idea make its way into her sedintary brain*)! Good for you, LisaB. You listen to whatever you damn well please.
You’re so funny when you said, “…until I saw the people who didn’t stop going in the first place!” lol!!! I’m trying to get back into the swing of things myself, but I promised myself that I would never ever make a New Year’s resolution again…they’re made to be broken. Any day is a good day to decide to live a healthier lifestyle.
I need to take my own fricken advice!
Hey, you’re getting to the gym and that’s all that counts! I looove the mix that you have too… it’s enough to almost keep a smile on while you sweat!
I have a BuckCHerry song that’s a little nasty, that GODAWFUL TImberlake Sexy Back, All things George Micheals, some VIllage People, Hinder, Van Halen WHEN THEY WERE GOOD, and Blue October.
I like to twist it on the machines, mouth the dirty parts to the songs while staring at strangers. But then, I talk to the fruit in the supermarket.
With that playlist, I think you were a gay guy in another life.
Very interesting. (What’s a “playlist”?)
Your music rocks. I’ve got more embarrassing music on my MP3 player. Can we say Musical Theatre?
You already know all my dirty little iPod secrets. I put them into a blog entry with little asides of “Shut up.”
Dawn – Even worse? I can do the YMCA dance
Denny – Donna Summer rocks! And thanks, I think. LOL!
Bruce – It’s the Rick Derringer version. Wow, you really know your music!
SophMom – They do get me moving
And thanks.
Deb – Thanks! And that was exactly what I was thinking. It’s hard to get your backside there, yes?
Oob – I appreciate that. And you are right, I do smile when I’m listening to all those bopping songs
Tish – You must be VERY popular at your gym! And Sexy Back?
Zen – ROFLMAO! Your comment was hilarious! But doubtful…
Hoss – *shakes head and smiles*
Two Drink Girl – Oh I have some of that too, I just didn’t mention it
Golfwidow – Very true, I forgot about that. I must check it out again.
Hey Lisa! Way to go on the gym. Hope you are enjoying it! And as for your music choices… whatever makes you want to shake your booty works for me! Happy New Year, my friend.
While I do not have an Ipod (yet), I do fill up my jump drive at work with MP3s to listening during the day. Right now, it’s loaded totally with Stryper and Michael Sweet. Previously, it was loaded totally with Queen. Before that, I had it loaded with a mix of stuff like Queen, Boston, Judas Priest, UFO, Iron Maiden.
I hate to sound like I have a big ego or anything, but my music kicks ass. I highly suggest getting some of this stuff for the gym. Nothing keeps you going like a little Metallica.
The most worrisome thing I’m trying to figure out about my iPod playlists is where in the blue HELL I got a copy of Baby Got Back?
About all that iPod is missing is the Podcrapular podcast.
lol
Haven’t gotten back on the working out regime just yet, but I’m getting caught up on all sorts of other crap. I really want 2007 to be a better year that 2006. Man oh man!
Those songs are ok for a girl but for a macho man like myself, I would add Highway to Hell, Enter the Sandman, and Back in the Saddle (Aerosmith)
Whatever gets you through your workout, Lisa! NO SHAME In that, unless, of course, you have Britney on there!
My playlist? YIKES. I just put the ipod on party shuffle…4896 songs!!
Are you kidding? Bad Girls kicks ASS baby! But so does Black Stone Cherry who will be visiting the Big Apple soon. Wish I could be there with you!
Good to see the D-Man isn’t on that list.
Happy 2007!
Ok, those are bad, however, I have a couple of those same ones on my iPod AND there are a couple that I’m now going to add. I have some really bad ones.
I Touch Myself
Touch Me
I will Survive
I’m Too Sexy
Ok that’s enough.
What is this thing called workout and what is a gym? Is that a ritzy place where you can go sit and listen to your iPod and eat?
If you can do the Macarena too, you can attend any wedding in Pittsburgh.
Deni – i wouldn’t exactly say I’m “enjoying it,” but it’s getting the job done
Vince – I’ll try it, but I think I “bop” better to pop!
Andy – I can’t shake my booty to your podcast. Sad really
And I’m hoping for a better year as well…
Marty – Your macho-hood has been confirmed!
Nat – Britney? As if!
And that is one hell of a playlist! I’m in awe.
Inanna – I’m glad you share my taste in Donna Summer – woo hoo!
D-Man – Do a pop song and we’ll talk
Leave – Too funny! I may have to put “I’m too sexy” on my iPod as well
Paul – We’ll talk
Uh-oh, I’m late to this party!
Good for ya going back to the YMCA— errrr…. gym! Don’t put flowerpots on your head like that one group (I won’t name or make fun of here) and you’ll be ok ;-D
[...] once again, I bow in shame to my choices. I mean they are somewhat lame goofy but at least they get me [...]
