- Marlena on the Wall by Suzanne Vega

It depends what kind of music you're into. I'm usually into alternative and some folkish stuff, but when I work out I love techno and house, especially the divas you hear in clubs! Makes me think of a day when I won't feel like a dope on the dance floor shaking it! :) ("alone" by kim sozzi "if I close my eyes" by reina "as the rush comes" by motorcycle and anything by deborah cox or ian van dahl are some of my favs!)

I mostly love oldies, 60s, 70s, 80s stuff...disco is perfect for me since the stuff was made to move to. :p Anyway...here's what I've been using mostly:

-Bee Gees, Village People, Donna Summer
-MC Hammer: Can't Touch This
-Michael Jackson: Billie Jean, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
-Rolling Stones: Jumpin' Jack Flash
-Charlie Daniels: Devil Went Down To Georgia
-Chelo: Cha Cha
-Mad Hot Ballroom soundtrack: it's a documentary about a dancing program so it's got some cool swing and Latin music
-Rocky theme: Gonna Fly Now (visualize the run in the movie here, lol)
-Frank Stallone: Far From Over
-Shakira: Hips Don't Lie
-Gnarls Barkley: Crazy
-Blondie: Call Me
-Hot Chocolate: Every 1's A Winner (off my 70s cd)
-LaBelle: Lady Marmalade
-Lou Bega: Mambo No. 5
-Billy Idol: White Wedding, Rebel Yell
-Men Without Hats: Safety Dance
