Many years ago, I invested in a Sansa/SanDisk/SlotRadio mp3 player that arrived with an SD-card pre-loaded with 1000 songs. As an added bonus, they even arranged the songs into playlists, one such playlist being Workout Tunes. Since I have kept true to my New Year's resolution of walking around White Rock Lake, I have been making use of these Workout Tunes and will share a few with you this week:
#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%
Another genre that makes for excellent Workout music is none other than ska punk! "The Impression That I Get" came out my freshman year of college, and it was all over the airwaves. But who could blame them? It is a really fun song! If you want a good chuckle, check out Wikipedia's explanation of the lyrics... Hello, Captain Obvious!?!?!? I won't waste your time or my time posting it here, but it is truly laughable!!!
Another ska punk tune that found its way onto the Workout playlist is Reel Big Fish's version of a-ha's tune, "Take On Me". I was hesitant to include this at first, but I had to once I heard him say at the end, "Hit it C.C.... pick up that guitar..." If you don't know what that references, then we will most likely never, ever, ever be friends!!! ;-)
Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse?
No? Well...
I never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get.
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don't possess?
Or has it ever come down to do or die
You've got to rise above the rest?
No? Well...
I never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get.
I'm not a coward,
I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was,
I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go I
Might be a coward,
I'm afraid of what I might find out.
I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get.
Never had to, I better knock on wood...
Cause I know someone who has
Which makes wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I
Never had to, I better knock on wood...
Cause I'm sure it isn't good
And I'm glad I haven't yet...
That's the Impression that I get.
