The problem with this song, as I just discovered, is inadvertently singing the chorus out loud. :o

You must also have “The Final Countdown” as well.

I also have ‘Africa’ on my iPod.  
Uh, it seems that somebody, inadvertently, labeled it “Don’t Tread on Me” by Metallica. Funny how that happened. I guess if somebody were to look at my iPod, they’d get the wrong idea. hmmm…go figure.

Best wishes,

All right, y’all have convinced me to add Africa to my mix. I like the song, but it never occurred to me to work out to it. And by the way, my favorite workout songs: “Remember the Name” Fort Minor and “Thunderstruck” AC/DC.
