Get Down, Get Funky!

Yeah, that's right. Get down and get funky! And when I mean funky I'm not talking about funky-cool I mean funky-odoriferous. It's all part of losing weight after all...going to the gym, getting all sweaty, slimy, and stinky and just plain old odoriferous!

But while you're getting kick-me-in-the pants-what-is-that-smell-did-something-die-in-here-oh-my-God-my-nose-hairs-are-burning sweaty you may as well get down with some good music on your Ipod (or MP3 play of choice).

Now I don't know if what I have can be defined as good music to everybody's ears but it's the stuff that I have on my Ipod and it gets me through every single one of my workouts. (before I go further with this I wanted to answer a question that was asked many blogs ago that I rudely forgot to answer about what kind of earphones I use. I don't use the earbuds because, well my ears sweat gallons and the buds are always falling out. I have these earphones that just hook over my ears and they're made by Phillips. I wouldn't object to wearing the old school, over the head ones that seem to be back 'in' either but my ear hook ones are great!)

Before I share my play list I must remind you of a few things:
1) I am almost 31 so some of my choices may be outdated for some younger people.
2) I spent most of my late teens and 20's in gay dance clubs so I listen to a lot of dance-y type music with long intros, one song can be 10 minutes long. I like this, many people don't.
3)Some songs are only good because they remind me of days on the dance floor, drunk off Captain and coke, smoking like a chimney and cuttin a rug with my friends and if they are listened to under other circumstances they may just suck and I don't realize it.

So there you have it and here you are... my play list in no particular order with some commentary when needed.

Bacardi Mojito Song (it's from a commercial that they play before movies here. I don't know if they have it in the US but it is one of the sexiest commercials I've ever seen and every single time I am mesmerized by it. Oh and the song's good too)

So there you go! That's what keeps my heart-a-pumpin while I'm working out, getting fit, getting healthy. If there is something I'm missing and just HAVE to have please let me know! I'm always hearing great songs on the radio that I want to download but either forget by time I'm home or don't know the name of so by all means share!
