The Smiley Smile Message Board

Hi, Started exercising again after a couple of months away from it. And I highly recommend it as a great mood boost.
Trying to compile a playlist on my Ipod of Beach Boys and related Songs to add to it.
Songs that leap out is Run James run, WIBN, Good Viberations (Track as on GV box set cd5), Dance, dance, dance, It's about Time
I will add more when I think of any but please add which songs you would put onto a gym workout playlist ;D

H.E.L.P Is On The Way.

He Couldn't Get His Poor Old Body To Move.

:lol If only for the first few lines of the song!! ;D

Oxygen to the brain, if you can broaden your playlist to include solo stuff

Hey Baby - Move it or lose it!   :lol :lol :lol

Here Comes the Night (that is a three-fer) 10+ minute - great on the treadmill!

Hey Little Tomboy

Shut Down

Bluebirds over the Mountain (Live in London) 69

Soulful Old Man Sunshine ( Endless Harmony)

Surfin' Safari (EH)

Rhonda (EH)

Darlin' (EH)

Rock and Roll Music (GV Box Set)

409 (Stars and Stripes)

LIttle St. Nick

Be True to Your School

Surfin' USA

Barbara Ann (Knebworth)

Barnyard (Brian's SMiLE - good cool down)

Great thread...(and I thought only the Stones had good workout music)  ;)

There is a Nike/ipod app that lets you do this mix on the iphone...

I'm In Great Shape has to be on there!

I like this Thank you And Barnyard for cool down Going to try that!!

Solo Stuff Yes please!!, How about "everybody wants to live just once" lol, And "It's trying to say" I think this song will be great!!

How about:

'I Wanna Be Around'

'Still I Dream Of It'

??

That would start the "yoga" list...(this music has endless selections for that one...)

 :lol

Last song on my playlist for running is Fun Fun Fun from Knebworth...
always gives that extra boost that will make you keep up for the last 4 minutes!

//RD

How could I forget Shortenin' Bread? (Preferably in an endless loop.)

Run, Run, Run
Can't Weight Too Long
It's Over(weight) Now


(there'll be worse before this is over...)

"Too Much Sugar" is a must

Beatles tunes:

We Can Work (it) Out

How about "Do you have any regrets" ;D
I will upload my playlist later tonight GMT time

This would make the perfect birthday gift for you...  ;D

And as I happen to have this CD at home (yes, I do collect almost anything... not sure if this was a wise purchase though), I can tell you the back side even mentions the beats per minute...

Oh God that make me spill my drink laughing so much :lol Keep this thread going. How about "River Song" Dennis Wilson Pacific Ocean Blue Album?. Also "What the Hell" on the "Long Promised Road" CD. The whole album is great to workout too IMHO ;D

How Could We Still Be Dancin'? - Just for you!  :lol

Too Much Sugar

absolutely. Actually, that whole album would be great to listen while working out.

Back when I was jogging regularly I usually listened to the Summer Love Songs album - nothing to get you pumped up, but it makes for a great relaxing jog.

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

Life Is For The Living

Ok here's my playlist it's not in this order but...
1) Breakaway
2) This Whole World
3) Help Me Rhonda
4) Honkin' Down The Highway
5) Long Promised Road
6) Darlin'
7) All Summer Long
8) We'll Run Away  :-D
9) Thats Not Me
10) Take A Load Of Your Feet  ;D
11) Marcella
12) Solar System
13) Let Him Run Wild  :P
14) It's Ok
15) I Get Around
16) Surfin' USA
17) I Can Hear Music
18) Susie Cincinnati
19) You Still Believe In Me
What do you think???

...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 :lol 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" :lol
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!

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

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

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."

Songs not on my workout playlist
1) Busy doin' nothing
2) I went to sleep
3) Caroline no
4) Windchimes (All three versions)
5) Love is a woman
6) Blue Christmas
7) I'm so young
Can't think of any more of the top of my head.
So any more?  ;D

1) Full Sail
2) Carry Me Home
3) She's Goin' Bald
4) Wonderful (Smiley version)
5) Make It Good
6) Cuddle Up
7) A Day In The Life Of A Tree
8) Caroline No (original speed)
9) Big Sur

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

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!
