TOTO? i agree with soca i don’t know if you are into electronica at all, but some good drum’n’bass can get you amped. personally when I’m doing cardio, i’m all about the happy hardcore - high bpms = harder workout. ---

Nunya: **Toto - Africa** _I hear the drums echoin´ tonight She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She´s coming in, twelve thirty flight Moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation_ _I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say “Hurry boy, she´s waiting there for you”_ _It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There´s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had_ _The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what´s right Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seem to cure what´s deep inside Frightened of this thing that I´ve become_ _It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There´s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had_ _INSTRUMENTAL_ _“Hurry boy, she´s waiting there for you”_ _It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There´s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had_ I guess that makes me one who likes the “life-affirming lyrics” 🙂 This was a big hit back in 1982. Their other hits were “Rosanna” and “Hold the Line”. Other suggestions: **Tina Turner - Simply the Best (don’t know how I forgot this one before)** **Oasis - Morning Glory (the song not the albumn)** **Quiet Riot - Come on Feel the Noize** **Men at Work - Land Down Under** Can’t believe you know Johnie Clegg, Lor. Respect for that! Matt ---

Are you serious?? This is the typical “Jukebox Standards” playlist for me when I have 2387498237 hours of work to do and only 1 hour of time to do it: And first and foremost, learn every last lyric to every last one of these songs. Time distortion happens in between the lines you sing. It’s like putting 30 seconds in and getting 5 minutes out! Motley Crue - Dr Feelgood Van Halen - Running with the Devil, Jump! Queen - [learn the lyrics FIRST] Bohemian Rhapsody Journey - Don’t Stop Believin’ ZZ Top - Legs … WHY am I having a brainfart right now?? I can’t think of ANYTHING. … oh crap, me and that toto song have some fond memories. This is prop-up-on-the-bathroom-counter, singing into a hairbrush good times. ---

He lived in Zimbabwe for a long time - where my mom is from. She loves him. When he got married, the ceremony was a traditional Zulu wedding celebration, as he is fluent in Zulu; and an “adopted son”. **Total legend!** Matt ---

**Journey - Don’t Stop Believing!** Now that is a song and a half Jas; seriously awesome. That song MADE the movie “Monster” for me. And **ZZ Top - Legs** ; too, brilliant. Ever seen the video? Me thinks thats where they got the idea for all those “She’s All That” -type movies 🙂 OK just have to add ONE Billy Ocean song (one principle - he is my Elvis 😃 ): **When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going** And **Def Leppard’s - Pour Some Sugar on Me** Matt PS: More to follow 😃 ---

Well Toto’s Africa is a very inspirational song in my country, South Africa. Largely due to it being about our continent; it has been used in beer adverts etc. Yes The Final Countdown, great suggestion. Bring back those hair bands I say! Matt ---

Even though I am way too young to “remember” billy squire my first concert ever was Jane’s Addiction (Flea on bass). That was one of the best most energetic performances I’ve seen to this day. ---
