The ultimate workitout playlist

‘Ello Bobbits! May I offer you a spot of tea?! WHY DO I KEEP DOING THAT?

So…I’ve been doing a lot of wogging lately. Not a word, you say? Oh, but it is. Before you discriminate against my newfound favorite word, don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it. Actually, you probably have.

“Wogging is a word used in some circles to describe a combination of jogging and walking, or walking and running,” reports WebMD.com

Truth be told, I’m not a fan of formality while blogging, but I just wanted to prove that this two-syllable utterance that sounds like you’re chomping mouthful of Honey Bunches of Oat as it “rolls” off the tongue, is in fact, a word.

OK, so now that I’ve got that off my chest…t’s on to bigger and better things. I present you with…dundundun. THE ULTIMATE WORKITOUT PLAYLIST (cue Jock James music):

Now let it be known that everyone’s individual music tastes and styles are unique and should be embraced as such; however, regardless of lyrics, or genre, a certain beat puts a little extra swag in your step. And with that I bring you number 1: Stuntin’ Like Mufasa feat. Lil’ Wayne.

Only Lil’ Wayne could turn one of my favorite Disney classics into a song requiring parental advisory. Regardless, of how many eff bombs he drops, the combination of rap and wind instruments is enough to keep me stuntin’.

Number 2: Dynamite, Taio Cruz. In order to keep this post from becoming visually jarring, I’ve decided to switch between linking and embedding videos. Yet, nothing does this song quite as much justice as the following photograph:

Honestly, how many other songs can evoke such emotion-and, disgusting faces? Well, if so, they are featured in this post.

Honestly, we could have ended there, but alas, the post must go on. Seeing as how I am a bit of a hypochondriac, I have self-diagnosed myself with Bieber Fever. Even though I like–no love–almost all of his musical creations, it was tough to pick just one. After compiling a detailed lists of all the pros and cons of each and every song off Bieber’s “My World” album, I made a final selection. Yet despite my countless hours of debating I pulled a Loyd Christmas, and went with my instincts on this one. Without further adieu I present song number 3: Baby, Justin Bieber feat. Ludacris.

You know how sometimes–no matter how much you love a song–you’ll only endure the first 20 or 30 seconds before promptly hitting “next”? This is where songs 4 and 5 come into play. Please Don’t Go and The Way It Is are two of my favorite mashups created by The Stereo Bomb, an audio production team based out of New York, New York. Each songs features various artists, genres and styles, making every 15 seconds an unexpected surprise–unless you’ve listened to their playlist so much you could sing it in your sleep, of course. Half of the duo calls Ohio University one of his homes, making the music that much better. Do yourself a favor and download their playlist. I’m convinced they sprinkle their audio with crack. It’s that addicting.

Song number 5 is meant for those who can exercise and laugh at the same time. Antoine Dodson, the breakout artist of the summer became a YouTube sensation overnight after preaching his two cents about a local criminal who allegedly “climbed into his window” to snatch him and his people up. Thanks to audio and voice synthesizers this T-Pain-esque music video was created:

For anyone who is a fan of Will Smith and his cocky lyrics–that are well-deserved, I must say–you will certainly enjoy the music of his 9-year-old daughter, Willow Smith. This hip-hoppy, unbelievably repetitive little number will definitely amp up your two-step. However, Will Smith is a certified B@d@$$, so would you really expect anything less? Song number 6, I Whip My Hair, Willow Smith.

Songs number 7 and 8 are both newbies that I have become particularly obsessed with during the past 72 hours. The first of the two, Check It Out, Nicki Minaj feat. Will.I.Am. vividly brings me back to my senior prom when my best friend decided to play Video Killed the Radio Star over and over and over again. And, to make matters worse, my prom date encouraged her annoying little antics. However, years later I find myself just as obsessed with a song that includes the aforementioned in a remix.

Song number 8, Love Like Woe, The Ready Set is just as enjoyable:

Obviously no ultimate workitout playlist would be complete without a song from the 90′s. This selection wasn’t easy, and honestly it was pretty much a 100-way tie. What can I say? I love the 90′s. But, seeing as how I attended a Catholic all-girls school for the first 12 years of my education, nostalgia lead me to select: Baby One More Time, Britney Spears.

Now let’s be honest, after an intense half-hour of workin’ it out, chances are, your lungs are gasping for air and lookin’ for a nice little cool down. Post-workitout music should be meditative and relaxing. And with that, I leave you with song number 10: Don’t Go Chasin’ Waterfalls, TLC.

Alright, there you have it, my valiant and biased attempt at creating the ultimate workitout playlist.

On that note, what did I miss?! Please feel free to lengthen the playlist with your excellent comments, friends.
