Barracuda by Heart

Hey Damage.....I'm digging your green demon Avatar! I don't recall seeing that one when I was offered my limitted selection? Newmastersswimmer p.s. I have heard that "Radar Love" by Golden Earing is a good workout song by several different swimmers b/c of it's fast and well defined beat.

Ken Williams swimmer 1958 B E & Commonwealth games swimmer drove us crazy with, The One Eyed, One Horned, Purple People Eater. If you want to hear this 1958 #1 song here it is www.shebwooley.com/ppe.htm George

Originally posted by ande Since I am a songwriter eventually I'd like to write a song to inspire me to kick butt and swim fast Though there's lots of songs that elevate my mood and make me wanna get after it. I mentioned "All Fired Up" by Pat Benetar in I've always liked the theme song to "Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis there's lots of songs like "lose yourself" by eminem and I'm not much into rap. Ande PS Hey guys let's post INPIRING LYRICS in this thread too Funny you sould meantion that you're a song writer! I'm (sort of) an amateur singer/song writer myself. I record comedy music and I recently recorded a song about swimming! if you want to hear it, it's in the Meaning of Swimming Thread. The name of the song is "Swimmer's Ballad" and that one always gets me fired up like nobody's business.

Any heavy sound will work for me:Metallica, System of a Down, Megadeth, Pantera, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Korn ...etc., the heavier - the better!Oh yeah, baby!!! I just don't know how some people can get pumped off Britney Spears or something of a kind.I respect all the tastes, though, 'cause "tastes differ"!!!( try to tell that to my little 17-year-old brother who is so much into metal that he created his own site for heavy music exchanging - he is a computer major, too- and has a collection of 1700 albums at the moment!!!).Crazy :-)

I've always found that musci is very distracting. I don't really understand using it ot get pumped up.
