Ear Worms

Taking a cue from Jules in the Giro thread

Jules said:
I often think there should be an entire thread devoted to "workout earworms." If I had a nickel for each time I get three bars of a song stuck in my head for 90+ minutes of pedalling hard... man I'd almost be able to afford that new Specialized.


This is my interval song:

This will be the best one yet.

You bet.
Wow that's so much better than "five little ducks" or "wheels on the bus" which plagued me for years
number one workout track from 2019 (give it to about 1:50 when the awesome really starts)

still deciding on 2020
you know when you went thru those really hard climbs, those really really hard moments, but then you get to coast downhill to that flat tailwind section where you get to ride sweet tempo with your friends for the last 20 km, and you know you got it, you still have some to go, but nothing can stop you now...

this track is that section.

I love that the dune buggy has Once color way ;)
This season I've been partial to "We are young" from the Kickass soundtrack for all intervals over FTP

This has been my earworm for the past month.

I mean considering much of EDM/chillwave is basically an art form dedicated to droning repetition, I'm okay with this.

My brain defaults to Fatboy Slim Acid 8000 because of a Lance "greatest hits" tribute video I must have watched a gazillion times on youtube a decade ago. It's a pavlovian response - climb hard, picture "the look", get pumped with adrenaline, climb harder, get Acid 8000 stuck in my head even as I pass out from oxygen deprivation from blowing up after 15 seconds of sprinting up a climb with 6 more minutes to go. THANKS LANCE.
