BROOKLYN FIT CHICK'S FAVORITE PLAYLIST
(This Month...)
Little Favours featuring "Two Jackson Climbs" (50-minute Ride)
Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!
Are you looking for a fun playlist that mixes up a little bit of the old & the new and features two “Jackson Climbs?” Well then you are in luck because the one I present today does just that—you’re welcome!
So let’s get started on this one, shall we?
- Little Favours: KT Tunstall
I love KT Tunstall and this song was one of the first I learned to play on my electric guitar. Try to ignore its charms (I dare you!)
- If You’re Wondering: Weezer
Just about everything this band writes I love right off the bat including this gem.
- Swamp: Talking Heads
If you have any appreciation for the band Talking Heads, be sure to check out their 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense directed by Jonathan Demme who would later helm The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia.
- De Doo Doo Doo, de Da Da Da: The Police
Do not take this personally, but sometimes, De Doo Doo Doo, de Da Da Da is all I want to say to you. (Please tell me you get that joke?!)
- Hot Dog: Led Zeppelin
This is a completely silly and inconsequential song by Led Zeppelin that always makes me smile when it shows up on my iPod.
- Don’t Stop ‘til You Get Enough: Michael Jackson
Aha! Our first “Jackson Climb” and just how happy does it make you feel? (Me? Off the charts!)
- Music: Madonna
This video is completely filthy and I love it. (Look out for Da Ali G yo.)
- California Sun: The Ramones
I played it before and I will play it again. “California Sun” is just too perfect of a “break” song for my classes.
- Rhythm Nation: Janet Jackson
I remember trying to imitate the dance moves from this video and failing spectacularly. (Look kids—our second “Jackson Climb!”)
- Brain Stew: Green Day
Being a total sucker for crunchy guitar sounds—this songs makes me want to drink beer out of a plastic cup and scream “yeah!”
- Sexy Back: Justin Timberlake
For this "always a hit with the class" number, I have a whole complicated “in a 2 & now in a 3” choreography that took me forever to get just right. (Spinners will know what I am talking about—I think…)
- Tie Your Mother Down: Queen
If loving Queen is wrong—I don’t wanna be right.
- Clocks: Rhythms del Mundo
This is a saucier, sexier version of the Coldplay song which is neither saucy nor sexy but I love it more than most people.
And—that’s it!
Let me know what you think of my picks and feel free to share ideas with me!
Until next time…
Ox Ox,
