All-time best running pump up song <------

Creed pumps me up like a swedish penis enlarger then leaves me soft

LOL. Now that would be bizarre. Having an Eminem song going through my head during a race. But hey, if it's got the right beat, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks

I just counted up the beats per minutes in Eminem's new single, "Lose Yourself". It's almost exactly 180 beats per minute. Try it out on your next tempo, it works wonders. My cross country team has adopted it as their theme for the championship season.

What school do you attend? I'm writing your AD. Any school that in any way supports or adopts the trash of a punk who downgrades women like he does needs to be kicked in the ass.

I find that a little Eminem and Ludacris gets my juices flowing right before I tee it up at Augusta.

Word to my man Hootie.

U2 - where the streets have no name ("i want to run, i want to hide...."); blue october's "independently happy"; and, of course, prodigy's "slap my bitch up"

To the concerned NOW member,

The adoption of the artist known as Eminem's single track, "Lose Yourself," is an entirely informal venture in no way supported by the administration of my institution. The said artist is in no way held up as the paradigm of virtue, rightness and everything that is good and holy in the world for the impressionable freshman to emulate. However, with lyrics such as:

"So here I go is my shot.

Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got"

and

"success is my only mf'ing option, failure's not"

we thought it advantageous, in the interest of fostering and encouraging the competitive natures of the runners, and the importance of "leaving everything on the field" as they say, to adopt the said song as representational of the attitude we wish present during a race that comes at so critical a juncture in our cross country lives.

Besides, it does have close to 180 beats per minute.

Underworld's "Born Slippy" and DJ Crack's "Space People"

When I see all you young priviliged white college runner kids harp on about great rap songs I just can't get the image of that skinny guy trying to dance in the black frat house in that movie Road Trip.

anything by Milli Vanilli rocks...

Hero of the Day, Mettalica

One-hit wonder by a band called Beautiful People "If '60s Were '90s" (Jimi Hendrix knock-off circa 1994). A little remix of 'Voodoo Chile' in there but it's something altogether new and improved.

Nine Inch Nails song (can't remember title: lyric-- "I want to ____ you like an animal!..." etc.) One of Goucher's favorites. Rowdy tune.

"Chinese Rocks" - Richard Hell

"Love Comes in Spurts" - Richard Hell and the Voidoids

"Search and Destroy" - Iggy and the Stooges

"Kick out the Jams" - MC5

"Gloria" - Patti Smith

"Honky Tonk Heroes" - Waylon Jennings

"Judy is a Punk" - Ramones

"Tannytown", "Guitar Town" or "Copperhead Road" - Steve Earle

"Cocaine Blues" - Johnny Cash

That is funny!

If you've seen DJ Qualls in "Road Trip" then you've just seen 97% of college distance guys and the reason they don't get laid.

And you'll be teeing up behind a woman the next time you play.

Anything by the Possum himself, George Jones

I hate techo a lot...actually, this isn't even real techo...it's dance shit, but it seriously pumps me up before running. 'I Gotta Get Through This' by Daniel Bergenfield.

Oops, Beddingfield.

I have to say Eminem's "Loose Yourself" is the best.
