Top 10 Motivational Songs – Really?
RealBuzz.com has its annual list of the top 10 motivational running songs and since I’m old and uncool, I could only identify four of them, but I thought even those were weak. I mean, “Keep on Running” might have an appropriate motivational title, but it isn’t even the best running song by the Spencer Davis Group (“I’m a Man” and “Gimme Some Lovin’” are both superior).
Anyway, it got me to thinking. What would be the least motivational running songs? Leave your choices in the comments section, and if we get enough nominees, I’ll post a top ten list in the near future. To get the ball rolling, how about “I’m Only Sleeping” by the Beatles?

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer or
anything country!
Hey big brother! How about “Feeling Groovy (The 59th Street Bridge Song)” by Simon and Garfunkel. “Slow down, you move too fast…”
How about What’s up by 4 Non Blondes?- would be a killer for hill training….
“What’s going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
Twenty – five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination “”
