I didn't bring music with me to my first Masters meet, but all I need to hear to get fired up is my husband, Bruce, singing the first six notes of "Aqualung", by Jethro Tull. It's my theme song (not the lyrics; just the tune and title).:D
Happy tune hunting!
Aqua Dog (AKA: Elaine-iac :D and Aqua Fox :blush:; nicknames given by a forumite...;) )
P.S. Check out Ande's thread, "Swim Faster Faster Quotes" for his list of favorite tunes. I'm especially in agreement with him on Queen's "We Are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You". If there is (was) a better rock vocalist than Freddie Mercury, I would like to know who! And, if these song don't fire you up, nothing will.)
Kings of Leon- The Bucket, Four Kicks, Black Thumbnail
The Cult- King Contrary Man, Wildflower
Pixies- Levitate Me, Planet of Sound, Head On (Cover)
Buck Cherry- Lit Up
I have a whole 'Swim List' on iTunes for my iPhone/iPod that changes.
