More songs I never thought I'd hear again

Music videos I never thought I'd have to see again before working in a fitness center, that I am now forced to reckon with on a regular basis:

  • The Romantics - Talkin' in Your Sleep, entertaining, but stabbity.
  • Paula Abdul - Forever Your Girl, I can't bring myself to link this one.
  • Hall & Oates - Private Eyes, check out the 'stache on Oates.
  • Survivor - Eye of the Tiger, from the walking-while-singing school of music video production.
  • En Vogue - Free Your Mind, I can't make myself link to this video, I simply can't.
  • Toni Basil - Mickey, what I just said about the Free Your Mind video x 12.
  • The Go-Gos - Vacation, nope, not going to link to this one either.
  • David Bowie & Mick Jagger - Dancin' in the Streets, I find this one particularly stab inducing.


Music videos I see on a regular basis at work that are awesome, either in their own right or in the context of being played in a fitness center:

September 7th - Good songs made bad, bad songs made worse

Songs that I might listen to if they came over the car radio, or perhaps while cleaning the house, that have been ruined for me since I started working at a fitness center because they have been remixed into high bpm workout songs:

"Centerfold", J. Geils Band
"Life in a Northern Town", The Dream Academy
 "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Nirvana
 "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy", Rod Stewart

Songs that were terrible to begin with, that have become even more offensive because they have been remixed into high bpm workout songs: 

"Ice, Ice, Baby", Vanilla Ice
"Am I Black or White", Michael Jackson
"I Want To Know What Love Is", Foreigner
"Loverboy", Billy Ocean
