pick up the pace speed it up
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
songs to run to music the moment this
list we’re choosing songs that get you
pumped up and ready to go whether it’s
going jogging speed walking or just
getting active
number 10 run like hell
Pink Floyd
this song has a great narrative and
group that just make you want to move
your body featured on Pink Floyd’s
classic album the wall run like hell is
told from the viewpoint of an angry
rocker named pink who imagines himself
as a fascist dictator
as the runrunrun is repeated throughout
the refrain it motivates listeners to
keep up the pace
meanwhile the prog-rock numbers
futuristic qualities matched with the
primal screams of the mob intersect to
give the single a timeless quality
number nine levels of Ichi
you
this song has such a feel-good beat that
it’s impossible not to get up and bounce
along to it
the way Avicii mixes the synth with the
bassline and the beat makes levels sound
like the high-energy soundtrack for your
life
it’s also pretty reminiscent of quirky
music from an old video game the tune
may build off the Etta James song
something’s got a hold on me
but avicii’s progressive house version
sounds worlds apart from the gospel
influenced original that get a good
feeling and helped him top the UK and US
dance charts
the green light flashes the flags go up
number eight and per distance you’re
fucked up they deftly maneuver and
muscle for rank you burning fast on an
empty tank if there’s ever a song to get
you in the mood for racing it’s this one
the arena is empty except for one man
still driving and striving as fast as he
can the distance begins just like one
would at the starting block and the pace
picks up as the alt-rock number with
hip-hop flavors continues
please I’m for speed
she’s
it’s the perfect gem for a slow going
run especially one where you need more
motivation to keep up
written by the band’s guitarist Greg
Brown the lyrics captured the spirit of
competition and trying to win at all
costs somebody left with the lead
singers signature monotone vocals create
urgency as the song builds to a series
of oohs
number seven smack my bitch up
The Prodigy with its big beat rave and
electronica elements the tempo and beat
of this prodigy track race to new highs
and lows that make it the perfect song
to jog to
just as soon as you want to slow down
smack my bitch up will force you to pick
up the pace
this song may be problematic due to its
questionable lyrics but its energy is
undeniable the song is loud intense and
unforgiving making it a staple in many
runners playlists
number six dancing in the dark Bruce
Springsteen
the boss is pretty great at making
anthemic songs most notably Born to Run
which really does make people actually
want to run
but this track has a quality that
motivates runners to get out there as
soon as brusque runes that you can’t
start a fire without a spark
making the most of the synthesizer to
create a slightly off-kilter beat
dancing in the dark also perfectly melds
rock and power pop to become one of the
biggest hits of Bruce Springsteen’s
career
it also stood the test of time just go
for a run with it and see for yourself
number five till I collapse
Eminem wax long as you film to the tank
that I rock you’ll never say that I’m
not killing them who’s yourself always
seems to be the go-to Eminem song for
inspiration but this earlier track is
just as good when you’re looking for
motivation kill the lights
Jim Mele gang shit till I collapse
places mm as an underdog in the rap game
and shows him fighting to prove that he
deserves a spot among the best when you
really do speak these people the feeling
is she the hardcore hip-hop tune also
samples the beat from Queens we will
rock you which gives it a gritty
undertone
the game shit
and as Nate Dogg sings the chorus he
motivates listeners to give it their all
no matter what obstacles are in their
way
number four kickstart my heart Motley
Crue
this song has had quite the life as a
sports anthem and it’s easy to hear why
the speed mental numbers energy is high
and gets listeners pumped as the lyric
kickstart my heart repeats throughout
so the dr. feelgood single has dark
roots having been written by Nikki Sixx
after he overdosed on drugs and was
considered dead before he was
resuscitated the grammy-nominated track
seems to be a celebration of life and
getting things done
and it’s memorable guitar riff will
undoubtedly accelerate runners when they
go over strenuous terrain
number three I have the tiger
survivor perhaps the most cliche workout
anthem of all time it’s not a mystery
why eye of the tiger has remained a
go-to motivational song after Sylvester
Stallone couldn’t get the rights to
another one bites the dust this song was
created as the theme for rocky 3
the world is forever grateful
since the survivor single is the epitome
of focusing in on a goal and going after
what you want it motivates everyone from
casual joggers to marathoners to keep
their eyes on the finish line and
persevere
number two the Pretender Foo Fighters
know the exact meaning of the Pretender
may be unclear Dave Grohl brings a rage
and urgency to the lyrics that really
gets in the listeners head this rawness
is especially evident as he screams what
if I say I will never surrender
the hard rocker is perfect for those
moments when you’re trapped inside your
own head and don’t think you’ll make it
past a certain point
the top 40 hit also allows runners to
break free and use their own angry and
bottled up energy to propel them across
the course
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
oh shit
me like
when I just the ground like a nigga
never fences it we’re back orangutan you
can’t stop the train
don’t call me bad I’ll be there but when
I leave there
number one run to the hills’ Iron Maiden
Oh
as one of the best heavy-metal songs out
there it’s no surprise that run to the
hills’ made the top of our list
Wow
the number of the beasts single has such
a unique lyrical approach as it tackles
the colonization of America and the
clash between Europeans and Native
Americans
you
meanwhile it’s frantic guitar playing an
increase of urgency in Bruce Dickinson’s
vocals gives it a raw edge that captures
the feeling of what it’s like to run and
give it your all
if this song doesn’t make you run to the
hills’ we don’t know what will
do you agree with our list which song is
you’re running at them
