iPod Friday 6

We thought we’d try something a little different this time around. Rather than directing you to a worthy music blog, it’s time to at least try our own little download of the day. Hmm… that didn’t sound so nice, but here goes.

By way of crankiness, of course… Did you ever show up for a race and they played ‘Born to Run’ right as the gun went off? Well, Bruce’s tune is a classic, but how obvious is that? And nothing screams ‘this race is organized by middle-aged white males’ as playing ‘Born to Run’. Well, we’ve run a lot of races, and we’ve heard this one played way too often. We can return to discussing appropriate running-themed songs later, but here’s an oldie we came across that might be nice to hear instead.

It’s a Motown single, Junior Walker and the All-Stars, with ‘I’m a Road Runner’. Can’t get much more direct than that!
