This week’s running playlist is a toss up. It’s “pick your own theme” week so I’m just going to list off some songs that could be kinda cool on a playlist. As you can see, the absence of a theme has left me with nowhere to go. Enjoy the random ride.
NOTE: I completely missed the (love) boat and should have made the theme Valentine’s Day related… fail.
Something Old: Songs that are at least 5 years old. (I know that isn’t too long to be considered old, but music turnover happens quickly.)
Something Current: Songs that have been released within the past year.
Something to Consider: This is the wild card category. Feel free to list any song: old, current, guilty pleasure, underground, whatever.
Something Old
Artist: Snap
Title: Rhythm Is a Dancer
Side Note: 90s. You’re welcome.
Quotable: “Free your mind and join us. You can feel it in the air.”
Something Current
Artist: Swedish House Mafia (ft. John Martin)
Title: Don’t You Worry Child
Side Note: Another one of those dance meets house meets techno meets a guy who can sing. Anyway you explain it, these kinda songs are all over my playlist and work on generating some speed on my runs.
Quotable: “There was a time, I used to look into my father’s eyes. In a happy home, I was a king I had a gold throne.”
Something to Consider
Artist: Harlem Shake
Title: Baauer
Side Note: The song isn’t that fantastic, but the number of You Tube parody videos that are online are freaking great. They are 30 second clips which allow you to get lost in time watching them. I’ll include a couple. CLICK HERE to see other HARLEM SHAKE videos.
Quotable: “Do the Harlem Shake”
Told you it was gonna be a random ride.
What did you think of this week’s songs?
You wanna do the Harlem Shake, huh?

Happy Valentine’s Day! Glad to be back and grooving with Playlist Thursday. Oh Snap, I completely forgot about Rhythm is a dancer, thanks for another song to my list.

the best parody on the interwebz of the harlem shake.
I also witnessed a flash mob version on the University of Texas campus… It was beyond hilarious
Been wondering what all this Harlem Shake talk has been about. Thanks for clarifying. As for missing the love boat. Yeah, big fail. I thought you’d come through for us ;) Have a great Valentine’s Day, yo!
Great picks! I love me any 90’s throwback!
Love the throwback!! Those videos are awesome!!! I like the beat too for running!!! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Fun mix this week–the Harlem Shake video is great!
My station (it’s a very indie, commercial-free station) is playing all love and anti-love songs today. Kind of fun!
I loved SNAP! ah, those were the days of music! :)
That Harlem Shake video MADE MY DAY!!!
I totally missed the Valentine’s memo too, whoops. I love that Swedish House Mafia song, and Rhythm is now stuck in my head ha

Today was the first time I actually watched one of the Harlem Shake vids! I think it’s funny :) SHM (*oonce oonce oonce party party party*)
OMG Rhythm is a Dancer. Now that is a throwback! Haha! Totally forgot about that one.
OK I’ve seriously been living under a rock and have never heard of this Harlem Shake but am seeing it everywhere now!
