OT: Poll-What Music Makes You Want to Move

As I was walking this morning I was listening to some remixed music from the 80s that someone had made into exercise music. I was a little annoyed that evidently they couldn't use the real music to start with (Not that I looooved the original, but "867-5309" without Rick Springfield is just blech).

Anyway, I was thinking I should just go back to the original songs because these "remixes" with anonymous, nonoriginal singers were just dreadful. I hated them when I was going to Curves. It's even worse when it's coming out of your own iPod.

Anyone have a suggestion for music that makes you move? All genres welcome.

Just one per person.

My first thought was "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves.

I hated it when it first came out, but I was in a Siouxsie and the Banchees/Depeche Mode frame of mind back then. They just don't do "peppy."

Anyone else?

Oh damn.  I typed up this long list, then read one per person.  LOL  Doh, me!

Sorry, but this song ALWAYS empowers me and makes me feel good!

Marc Anthonys old CD (2002): Mended. 

I love Salsa, and this stuff just makes me bounce when I hear it.  It's what I clean house to every week!  connie

Whitney Houston - I'm every woman.  I don't know the name of the CD that is on but I like the whole CD.

Lots of music makes me want to move.

But I'm bit older than most of you - classic rock from the 60s & 70s is my thing!!!!  I like Cajun and Zydeco music, too.  I love to dance.

Can you go on Amazon.com and listen to the 80's mix from Biggest Loser? I think it is original artists, but you better check.

I just bought Black-eyed Peas, Cascada, and Orianthi . . . but for 80s music, Pat Benatar is great to exercise to :)
