Song of the Week #3
Yes Sah! Super Dave already has the song and artist. It's a guilty pleaure and it was sent to me by Mr. Jim Bodah. He's done Badwater like 9 times, he knows what this song means!
"...he drinks a whisky drink; he drinks a vodka drink... He sings a song to remind him of the good times; he sings a song to remind him of the better times". Indeed a cool song.
I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, AIN'T NOTHIN' GONNA KEEP ME DOWN ....
It's on my iPod in a playlist called "Uptempo" ... it comes right after hick-hop favorite "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy": ... "And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy or my Chevrolet for you freak parade and your Escalade, I'm the only John Wayne left in this town" ... good stuff when you're ailin'
Oh superdave, you disappoint me, my fellow rocker....tell me you're just being nice. Tubthumping?? Next week's fav is likely to be "(I'm a) Barbie Girl" or anything by NKOTB....
Star, as the Cowboy said in last weeks song, "You are a liar!" Aint nobody don't like Tubthumping, it's a great song for motivation, if you don't agree, well, you, can just Drop and give us ALL 20!
Star, a dude can only listen to just so much Metallica. 75-80% of my jams are rock, but that other 20% runs the gamut from Dave Brubeck to Hank Williams (senior and junior) to seriously cheesy pop. Tubthumpin'? I didn't say that I liked that I liked it; only that I liked it.
"You know what I call the guy who's DFL? A finisher!" Overhead at the back of the pack at Western States in 2009. It meant a lot more to me at the end than it did at mile 3 when I heard it.
"Hey were you DFL at Western States? So was I!" Some dude named Steve that I met at Umstead. He was DFL in 2006, I was DFL in 09.
Becky talking about the need for training partners, "It takes a village to run a 100-miler." June's reply, "Yeah, a village Idiot!" Priceless June Bug, priceless!
“We are not in a hurry anymore.” Roger to his crew as he entered Camp 10 Bear for the first time in the Vermont 100, Ouch! Darn evil doctors!
"Road Marathons Suck!" Words of wisdom from Professor ACG. Listen to him, he knows of what he speaks!
"It's slippery." From the dude lying on his back at the Alafia Trail 1/2, regarding the trail condition of the muddy downhill I was about to run. Thanks, now could you roll to the side.
"There is no Try, either Do or Do Not Do." Yoda. Ok, little man, that sounds like you have a Do-Do philosophy. There is no try may work for keeping the Dark Force at bay and saving an empire, but oh-great-wrinkled-one, we're talking about running 100 Miles. Now drop and give me 20, Mr. Jed-Eye!
To me, From an aid station volunteer at Ancient Oaks 100-mile trail run, "The difference is, You could do what I'm doing, I could never do what you are doing!"
