BROOKLYN FIT CHICK’S PLAYLIST
“Raging Fire” 50-Minute Ride
This is a “fancy” playlist y’all!
Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!
Today’s playlist is a true interval ride with the pace & intensity changing every few minutes. It starts with a Philip Phillips song and ends with one of my favorite tunes in the whole wide world by Nelly Furtado. Hope it gets you motivated!
- Raging Fire: Philip Phillips
I understand Phillip Phillips was on American Idol but I have never seen one episode of that show so to me he is just another singer who plays songs that make me say “hmmm—this might work for a warm-up tune.” And it certainly does work so there you go!
- Are You Gonna Be My Girl: Jet
Do you remember the early iPod ads that used this song? Yeah—they were pretty cool.
- I Gotta Feeling: The Black Eyed Peas
This one is just too damn catchy not to enjoy thoroughly.
- Run-Around: Blues Traveler
I am old enough to admit I saw Blues Traveler live when this song came out and thought they would become huge stars. (Could still happen!)
- Clocks: Coldplay
Some people really hate Coldplay and can’t hear one tune from them without making a face. I don’t care about those people.
- Wake Up Call: Maroon 5
My favorite song by Maroon 5—it always puts me in a good mood!
- Times Like These: Foo Fighters
If I added up the number of times I have paid to download the Foos….they just kick too much ass for their own good!
- Fancy: Iggy Azalea
No idea at all why on earth this woman is so freaking popular right now but this is probably going to be the song of the summer because I hear it everywhere.
- Firestarter: The Prodigy
I am also old enough to say I have seen The Prodigy live and they were amazing.
- Natural One: Folk Implosion
The only reason the movie Kids meant anything to me was that they had this song on their soundtrack.
- You Get What You Give: New Radicals
One of the best one-hit wonder tunes—ever.
- I’m Like a Bird: Nelly Furtado
This is another case where I could have sworn she would become a huge star one day. Oh well—she will always have I’m Like a Bird.
That’s all I have today folks. Let me know about some of your favorite songs and radio stations. I am always looking for good tunes.
Until next time…
Ox Ox,

Bravo Margo…Love these all of them and just in time for me as I am adding new music to my current playlist for my upcoming half marathon! The Prodigy people scare me, but I am totally into the rest 🙂 Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you Lynda! You shoudl give The Prodigy song a chance. Its really fast-paced.
I have to say that ‘I gotta feeling’ is my favorite one here.
Thanks Cesily!
Great playlist! I did an American Idol theme ride a few weeks ago and used Raging Fire on it. It’s such a good song for a ride or running! I’ve been using a lot of One Republic on my playlists. Something I Need is my current favorite
thank you Kim! I am going to look up that One Republic song1
I was looking for some new “workout songs” and just found this playlist which I think is great. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Grace!
Hi and thanks for the tunes selection. Amazing how the experience is so different when you just listen as opposed to watching the videos. I think Coldplay rocks and you just can’t have any more fun than The Black Eyed Peas. One of my favorites lately for a song that gets me going is the Avicii Good Feeling as performed by Flo-Rida.
Thank you for the tip! I am going to use that song in my new playlist!
