  • I LOVE They Might Be Giants too Know most of those on your list.

    Save Ferris does a rockin' version of Come on Eileen.

    Temperature by Sean Paul is good too.
  • I like the song "Trains" from Slumdog Millionaire. I like Lady Gaga, Shakira, Britney Spears, Rihanna--any of their fast songs.

    I also am a little old school--I have SuperFreak downloaded on my IPOD. LOL. I also have some old Eminem! LOVE HIM!

    Oh, also--love the Cure--Just Like Heaven.
  • I love most of the ones already mentioned! Thighs - Love most of Lady Gaga's and Rihanna's stuff too! I wish I could play Eminem, but my kids are usually listening.

    I would add:

    Wakin' Up in Vegas - Katy Perry
    Pocketful of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield
    Battlefield - Jordin Sparks (I love this one - she wrote it about love, but so much applies to this journey I am on - especially when she sings "Better go and get your armor" and "I never meant to start a war")
    It's Not My Time - 3 Doors Down
    Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis (especially the dance mix)

    I'm a bit old school, too.. there is a version of Kung Fu Fighting by Fatboy Slim that is soooo good to workout to.. especially if you do punches & kicks! Another old school that is fun - Love Shack by the B52's!
