Sports Anthems

Alright y'all--my ipod needs a serious update. So--pretty please respond with two thing:
1. your three favorite songs on your ipod right now, regardless of genre.
2. your favorite "sports anthems" or songs that get you pumped to run, make you feel strong, inspire you, etc. (I'm thinking Kayane West "Stronger" or Christina Aguilera "Fighter" type songs)

I am so sick of every song on my ipod, that I can't tell you my favorites, but I am LOVING Rock this Party (Everybody dance now). I used to kickbox to this song, and Scott has been playing it in class. I don't know why but it totally makes me Jazzed.

Can't wait to hear everyone's favorites!

  1. Well I don't really have a particular sports anthem song but I will tell you that right now I love Fol Chen "Cable TV" song. I am also liking Edward Sharpe & the magnetic zeros "Home" song. I need some new music too!!

  2. I like One EskimO's "Kandi," Mike Doughty's "27 Jennifers," and Owl City's "Vanilla Twilight." Plus a lot more! I don't really have any sports anthem songs. I just like a good mix of tempos and beats. If the song's too fast, I run too fast and then burn out!

  5. Burning Hearts and Hearts on Fire are also good sport theme ones. I'm sure me liking them has nothing to do with Rocky's love for Adrian! YO ADRIAN!
