@DanGibson: But maybe if you play "Wiggle It" for Oliver Sacks he will swim faster.

I personally can’t get properly motivated without La Bouche.

@DanGibson: But how can you listen to "Wiggle It" without wanting to drag the needle across the vinyl as a means of segueing into "Gonna Make You Sweat"? And running to Scatman John carries with it the image of someone (Gebrselassie) who's all lungs and legs moving to the beat of a man who died of lung cancer...

@Richfourfour: Good point. Maybe there's a "jogger remix" out there somewhere. If there is, I'd consider taking up running myself.

@DanGibson: It is, indeed, but it's also at least 10 bpm slower.

@t2urner: That's all well and good, but maybe he hasn't heard "Wiggle It". It's clearly the better song.

In the words of the great Samuel L. Jackson, “Well, allow me to retort…!” What’s your best time over, say, a mile? At age 34, Geb ran a 4:45 mile…repeatedly…26.2 times, winning the Berlin Marathon in 2:04:26. You run that fast, you can listen to whatever you want.

“You’re the Best” is clearly the best workout song ever. What better way to prepare to take on the Cobra Kai?

@dennisobell: Still, it's no "Wiggle It".
