Warren Ferris’ Marathon Playlist

Disco, one-hit wonders and more!

Warren’s playlist has dance music, one-hit wonders, international songs that went viral, and even disco! A good beat is good for a long run.

1. “Pump Up the Jam” by Technotronic

Nothing gets me pumped at the start of a run like Technotronic’s 1989 hit “Pump Up the Jam.”

2. ”Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!” by Vengaboys

One of my favorite songs from the 90s, it makes me feel like roller skating or glow bowling.

3. “Gangnam Style” by Psy

Remember when this was the #1 video of all time?

4. “Higher Love” by Steve Winwood

Rather than the up-tempo Kygo version, I prefer the more soothing original.

5. “You Should Be Dancing” by Bee Gees

This might not be the best running song, but they play it when the Celtics are winning in a  blowout. 

6. “Mambo No. 5 (a Little Bit of…)” by Lou Bega

A little bit of RUNNING in my life.

7. “Macarena” by Los Del Rio

Well known for the dance, but just as good for running.

8. “The Final Countdown” by Europe

There’s no better way to end a run than with “The Final Countdown.”
