A Music Meme

I’ve been tagged with another meme, this time by Phil at Shades of Gray (Umbrae Canarum). Luckily, this one’s a snap.

Okay, new meme: what are your top three songs to listen to whilst running? And if you have the server space, will you post one or all of them for the rest of us to download? (If running is not your preferred method of exercise — which more or less guarantees your intelligence — well, songs that you would listen to are just fine.)

First, I’d like to point out that running is not my favorite form of exercise. I’d rather get my workout in some kind of sporting activity, be it lacrosse, tennis, racquetball or a handfull of others.

As to my running songs, I’ll just list what’s on my mp3 player from when I was last running regularly:

• (Warm-up) “Princes of the Universe” — Queen
• “Bottom Line (Extended Mix)” — Big Audio Dynamite
• “Me, Myself and I” — De La Soul
• “It Wasn’t Me” — Shaggy
• “American Soviets (Extended Mix)” — CCCP
• “Big Pimpin” — Jay-Z
• (Closing sprint) “In the End” — Linkin Park
• (Cool-down) “Black Coffee in Bed” — Squeeze

I think it’s an interesting mix.

Now, which three bloggers to tag? Let’s go with two guys who have recently hit me with memes. Here you go, JohnL and Hammertime. For a third, I’ll pass it along to Eric as a means to celebrate his 30k hit.
