I find it absolutely impossible to work out to the Beach Boys...so I don't work out.

...is the correct reply, Sir. Whilst listening to the Beach Boys, the listener should preferably:

1. ingest large quantities of premium cocaine and vodka;

2. ingest huge hamburgers and steaks;

3. be absolutely passive.

That is a perfect guarantee for happiness with the Beach Boys.


Working out is inhuman nonsense in this context.

Great post very true. But in answer I quote...
"Stark naked in front of my mirror
A pudgy person somehow did appear
Seems lately all I've eaten sugar and fat
It's getting obvious that's not where it's at
A big pot and tripley chin
Oh what condition my condition was in
Laughing at myself at what a crying shame
What ever happened to my Greek godly frame"
Says it all really methinks

...which goes to show that only with the Beach Boys, the most insane contradictions are BOTH true...

You're missing a few:

"Getcha Back"

"Marcella" (1973 live version)

"Here She Comes"

"Let Us Go On This Way"

"Funky Pretty" (1973 live version)

"Ding Dang" (looped maybe?)

I don't work out so I wouldn't be an expert on this issue. But I think the tempos match with what would probably be a work-out. "Here Comes The Night" is a no-brainer.

Note: I almost didn't post this. Not really my style. In order to compromise I will have to utter the word "poop". Now I feel better!

  ...and your choice of tunes seems very good.

I agree esp Marcella & Funky Pretty How about Tunes NOT suited for a workout?

[Menace Wilson]

I'm gonna say "Heroes and Villains," but it's gotta be one of the live versions with the rocking backbeat.

Also "How She Boogalooed It."

And "Teardrops On My Bed."

I have to listen to Busy Doin' Nothin' to find my way back to my house when I jog.....

I'd also add Mt. Vernon Fairway Theme to that list!

Darling from Stack-o-tracks sounds like it was made for aerobics.

Well, "Mama Says" has some good exercise lines in it, but "Slip on Through" has always been in my running playlist.  Really gets the feet moving.  especially when the chorus hits!
