Some "classic" (older) workout songs for the more "seasoned" (older) posters (ecumenical exercise)
Posted on 01/11/2012 8:59:01 AM PST by Heart-Rest
Here are some links to "vintage" exercise / workout songs to incorporate into your brand new New Year's resolution exercise routine. (With an appreciative nod to FReeper "Winstons Julia" for the original idea.) Feel free to add your own "more classic" / "further aged" exercise workout song suggestions and links to the list. I have to go run an errand right now, but I will check back later to see if there is more than just this "1" post on this thread (if I can remember to do that). :-)

Wow, these are even “more classic” classics to exercise by! (And some vintage photos mixed in as well.) You are the collecting connoiseur of 78 rpm’s with a very large collection, aren’t you?

You are the collecting connoiseur of 78 rpms with a very large collection, arent you? I have more than 1,000 78's and about the same number of 45's. However, I'm amazed at what's on Youtube, where I've found songs that I've spent years and even decades searching for as well as collector's items that I didn't know existed, such as Big Daddy's version of "Bacon Fat," which I just posted on this thread.

There are some really good sounding beats/tunes there in your list to exercise by.
The "Sharped Dress Man" song was sort of a more modern song along the lines of the older song "Mohair Sam". (Link for the ZZ Top song below.)

Thanks! That’s it. It just doesn’t have all the crackle, hiss and distortion that I remember.

I know, I'm amazed at all the stuff I've found on youtube too. (When I find good music there that I like, I really enjoy sharing it with other people. That's why I put some links I found that I liked into this thread.)
It's not just music either. Someone recently posted a link to a speech by General Patton. I had heard earlier from a WWII vet who heard Patton speak in person, that Patton had a very high-pitched, almost falsetto voice, but when I heard Patton's actual voice on a youtube clip (NOT George C. Scott, but the real Patton), it didn't sound that bad.

Well, you were probably exercising your eyes and ears.

You listed those songs in chronological order—1829 to 2009!
To: Charles Henrickson
A lot of good ones there. I'll just post a link for the first one in your list. However, if I try to exercise to the rapidly galloping beat of that Rossini music, I'm sure I will pull a lot of muscles, even some I don't even know I have, so I think I will just let my horse "Goldy" exercise to that beat.

You listed those songs in chronological order1829 to 2009! I tried to do it in roughly chronological order, just guessing, without looking things up. Don't know if I got it exact.

The William Tell Overture consists of four movements--Dawn, Storm,
Ranz des Vaches (Cattle Call), and
Galop, or "Cavalry Charge," the best-known movement, which concludes the piece. If the sweet and slow
Ranz des Vaches puts you to sleep, the Cavalry Charge, to which you provided a link, will surely wake you up.

Jackie Wilson ought to give you a good workout.

Well, if the B.O. administration gets its way, we all might soon have a government internet id, and when he hooks them all together to keep an eye on all of us, we might all know what everyone else is thinking. (As your song link says, "...I want to know what you're thinking...")
(See this link for that story about the B.O. plans to monitor everyone more closely.)
Obama Administration Reportedly Plans to Create Internet ID for All Americans
Maybe you should switch songs to this one for a while:
Joy, Joy, Joy in my Heart
(The second verse in this song says "I have the peace that passes understanding down in my heart...") :-)

You possess a wealth of information about all kinds of music!
It probably wouldn't have been a very good idea for the Lone Ranger to listen to that third "sleepy" movement while moseying along the dusty trail.
