  3. Oh good song! I'll have to get that. I really like "Where the streets have no name" by U2 lately.

  4. Any playlist for Crazy Steph MUST include Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild"! It so fits her that I suspect she was conceived while this song was playing. George Thorogood & The Destroyers' "Bad To The Bone" also cones to mind.

    Since you're still practically a teen, you might like "Phonography" by Britney Spears. My current 10K PR was set listening to this song only in a continuous loop!

  5. "Get your motor runnin'
    Head out on the highway
    Lookin' for adventure
    And whatever comes our way
    Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
    Take the world in a love embrace
    Fire all of your guns at once
    And explode into space

    I like smoke and lightning
    Heavy metal thunder
    Racin' with the wind
    And the feelin' that I'm under
    Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
    Take the world in a love embrace
    Fire all of your guns at once
    And explode into space"

  8. Mine is "bad reputation" by Joan Jett. It's super fast tempo and her awesome rocker chick voice get me all pumped!

    (Glad you found my blog cause now I found yours!)

  9. It Feels So Good by Sonique

    - great tempo, great bpm, great lyrics

    - beautiful voice

    - Sonique is older than Steph

    - it hit #1 on U.S. Dance Chart during Steph's lifetime (OK, she WAS teething, but at least she was alive in 2000)

    "Our love it feels so good, and that's what takes me high
    Higher than I've been before and your love, it keeps me alive
    Thought I should let you know, that your touch it means so much
    When I'm alone at night, it's you I'm always thinkin' of, ooh ooh baby
