Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Topics. This week’s Tuesday Topic: It’s World Day of Music – what songs would be on your playlist?. Remember to link-up with Kim and Zenaida and the bottom of this post.
Today is World Day of Music, a day to appreciate all forms of music. I’m more than happy to celebrate this day as I absolutely love music. It’s a daily part of my life as I use music when exercising, cooking, working, etc. I’ve always got music on in the background – sometimes it’s 90s rap, sometimes it’s 80s rock and sometimes it’s 00’s pop – I pretty much enjoy all genres of music, except country (BUT country pop is okay).
If I was building my perfect workout playlist, these songs would all be included:
Lose Yourself – Eminem
‘Till I Collapse – Eminem
We Are The Champions – Queen
Eye of the Tiger – Survivor
24K Magic – Bruno Mars
Just A Girl – No Doubt
Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani
Brin Em Out – T.I.
Everlong – Foo Fighters
Baby Got Back – Sir-Mix-A Lot
Turn Down For What – Lil Jon
Gonna Make You Sweat – C+C Music Factory
Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
A Milli – LiL Wayne
What’s My Name – DMX
Numb/Encore – Linkin Park f/ Jay Z
Work Bitch – Britney Spears
Pup Up The Jam – Technotronic
Livin’ On A Prayer – Bon Jovi
Give It Away – Red Hot Chili Peppers

Topic for next week – FREE topic!
I think I’ve had most of those songs on my playlist over the years! I don’t listen to music as often as I used to–only when I run on the pavement–so it’s always a treat. Right now, I’m enjoying songs that I can sing along to–out loud or in my head, lol
I love the songs I can sing along to – those are always so much fun, even if I am out of breath by the end of the song, lol.
Haha! I didn’t realise it was World Music Day but I’ve been working on a blog for Friday about running with music! What’s funny is I’m not a music person – when we’re on a road trip everyone in the car gets to have time with their favourite music and when it’s my turn to choose, I choose to have silence, LOL! BUT… when I run and it’s getting tough, music is one of the best ways to get me and keep me going!
I think there’s a “national day” for just about anything these days, lol.
Music can be such a motivator – especially during a race!
You have some great classics on your list that are also on mine. I have a few more Britney and Pink songs on there. I like a mix of music as well. Especially enjoy music on race day!
Britney has so many great songs – I only listed my favorite one but there are tons more on my playlist lol
I don’t recognize all of your songs by name, but I would probably recognize the song if I heard it.
I love that you have such a great variety of favourite songs.
I don’t listen to music while I run, however, at home, there’s always music playing.
Right now, it’s “Talk” by Coldplay. 🙂
You can never go wrong with Coldplay! I don’t have any of their songs listed here but I really enjoy a lot of their songs.
Your playlist is cooler than mine, but I have a couple of your songs. I usually listen to podcasts when I run, but I do have a playlist I save for extra hard efforts. Like sometimes I’ll put on music for the last few miles of a long run- it REALLY helps when you’re getting tired!
100% agree! I always try to save “pump me up” songs for the last few miles of any race, especially a marathon!
I LOVE most of the songs on your playlist. Mine needs major updating. It’s been awhile. Peleton is a quick link to some decent music and I do like Podcasts.
So true about Peloton! I have definitely gone back to look at playlists for previous classes I’ve taken to get new songs to add to my playlist.
I’m SO glad you included Bon Jovi! Job & I go way back, LOL 🙂 I’ve gotten away from running with music (since my Shuffle died a few years ago), but I do live all the Peloton workouts with their music. I’d have to say I’m probably more of a classic rock gal these days, and AC/DC and Def Leppard are my two favs at the moment.
I meant Jon, not Job 🙂
It’s not a workout playlist without Bon Jovi!
My workout partner and I were joking about how everything from “8 Mile” is on every elder millennial’s pump up playlist. Eminem is just GOOD. I also love Linkin Park so anything from them gets me going on a workout.
LOL that’s so true!
At least I know a lot of the songs on your playlist (although not all).
That’s one thing I still struggle with with Peloton — finding runs/cycles with playlists I actually enjoy.
With Peloton it can definitely be hot or miss, especially with their Pop classes, but I find that I enjoy most of the rock and hip hop classes. I think it also depends on the instructor too.
Great playlist. I’ll be adding a few of these to my current list. I too have music on most of the time and listen to most genres.
I find it so fun to listen to different types of genres because every song is like a surprise, lol.
I was never a fan of Eminem. Not sure why. I do recognize a few of the songs on your playlist but then there are others that I have not. Do I get extra points since I do recognize the artists? 🙂
You definitely get points for that!
