Music for the Jubilation!!

[Mummycav]

Hi everyone, hope you’re enjoying your Sunday morning whether you’re running, have run or yet to go…

I have been inspired by a post this morning regarding music…I know plenty of people like to run ‘naked’ (without music!) but others, like me, find it difficult to listen to myself & my breathing when I’m running so music is a must!!!

So…because it hasn’t been done for a while, I thought I’d put together a new playlist with the help of all of you…we need a theme so I thought because it’s the Queens BIG year we could make it a royal theme??? Once we’ve got plenty of suggestions I’ll pop it on Spotify for everyone to share….so…if you can think of a song with a good beat to run to that fits the theme, I want to hear your suggestion!!

Looking forward to hearing what all your musical tastes are!!

Happy running peeps xx

I don't like the rhythm of music to define my pace.........so an amusing bit of dated nonsense called I Love the Queen by Jacques Higelin should get you started.

🤣🤣🤣

[Cmoi Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

I'd happily run to much of the music from QE2's coronation service. In fact I have, if you count the Voces 8 version of Lux Aeterna (Elgar's Nimrod.)

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to Cmoi]

I rarely run with music, but if I do I have my entire music collection on my phone with everything from Thomas Tallis to Jimi Hendrix via Burning Spear, Kokoroko and Amy Winehouse.

I prefer listening to the birds.

Barry..I’m struggling to find this French hit!?!?! Dare I even use it going by Instructor57 ’s response?!! 🤣🤣

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

There you go ! 😁

🤣🤣 well…

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to Mummycav]

Did I call it a hit? A Seventies Gallic idiosyncracy is nearer the mark, displaying devotion to our monarch at the time of her first Jubilee.

It is available on YouTube.

I’m off for a look… 👀

Wil.I.am #that power always helps me if legs getting tired

[Timotea Graduate]

I love running to music. It keeps my spirits up and my legs moving. My run list got me to 10k before injury struck. Viva la Vida from Coldplay is one of my favourites and the words are sort of appropriate. It’s also quite uplifting .

Great post thanks Mummycav!!! 😍

I don't run with music, but I feel that Don't Stop Me Now by Queen is entirely appropriate 😊😊😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Higher Power by Coldplay, she is our highness so it might fit

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Prodigy - Breathe! 🤣

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Amanda Van Helden & Dizzee Rascal - Bonkers 🤪

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Great choice!! Bonkers…..bonkers…

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols

[Hidden in reply to Birdlady64]

When I have used to run to The Sex Pistols people thought there was a nutter on the loose. I would be yelling out random lyrics at inappropriate times whilst scowling and heavy breathing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Birdlady64 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Brilliant!

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Hidden]

🤣

[Cmoi Graduate in reply to Hidden]

"I want to destroy passerby" - now why ever would that pose a problem?! 🤣

[Hidden in reply to Cmoi]

Oh yeah! 🎵 Love it 😀 I'm Anarchy Al. 🤣🤣🤣

[Cmoi Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Well, that's you off the Honours List Birdlady64 . Here, have this instead 🎖️

[Cmoi Graduate]

I Just Can't Wait to Be King (from The Lion King) 🦁👑🤣

[JEM58 Graduate]

Great idea Mummycav. For the "keep it slow" runners like me then my top 3 are Fridays Child by Will Young, Atlantic Avenue by The Average White Band & for a very uplifting (almost encourages a last 2 minute sprint finish!) Three More Days by Ray LaMontagne.

[Comte Graduate]

Beethoven, 7 variations on God Save the King [Beethoven's era] WoO78 for solo piano. youtube.com/watch?v=NOds7jL...(Not working as expected?)

[Keeponrunning1 Graduate]

A party ain’t a party by Jubillee seems appropriate

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

I’ve added a few that aren’t suggested…one in particular is what I walked out to at my wedding with my hubby!! …. ‘Queen bitch’ by David Bowie 😉😉😉

[nowster Graduate]

You could always finish with the final track of Queen's A Night at the Opera, on which Brian May plays God Save The Queen. (Which he famously played on the roof of Buckingham Palace in 2002.)

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Well we walked out from our wedding to "sexy and I know it" by LMFAO - that is a great run tune 🤣🤣🤣

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Reel 2 Real feat The Mad Stuntman - I like to move it! (The original) 🤣
