It will be hard to find, but it’s still such a lovely, angry song. Leslie Fish has a sung version of Rudyard Kipling’s [Birds of Prey March](http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/lit/poetry/VersesKipling1889-1896/chap81.html). A hugely bitter, angry poem, and song. But her tune is a very powerful, cheerful marching song. It really was great fun to run to, back while I was pretending to care about my health. ---

Get some System of a Down songs from their first 2 CDs (self titled and Toxicity). Throw in some Avenged Sevenfold too. ---

Dorky song, but I think the Proclaimers’ _500 miles_ would be good. ---

For the heavier need - Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth Sad but True - Metallica Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue Crazy Train - Ozzy Du Hast - Rammstein Corny - but I like it Eye of the the Tiger - Remix - I think it’s by Dr. Dre? Mortal Kombat theme - Something about the “Test Your Might…” ---

[QUOTE=NDP] “Jesus Built My Hot Rod” by Ministry. [/QUOTE] I clicked on this thread to add “ **Just One Fix** ” by \*\*Ministry \*\* off the same CD, Psalm 69. As I have stated in a previous thread on the SDMB, this is the most relentless song I can think of - and that’s a very good thing. ---

_One Week_ by Barenakedladies? Flight of the Bumblebee? (IIRC that at some other fast tempo songs are on the Kill Bill vol 1 soundtrack - though there are definitely slow tempo ones as well) Brian ---

Based on the OP’s original song selection, some tunes I tote along that you might dig include (other than “Jesus Built My Hotrod”): “Ride The Lightning” and “Whiplash” by Metallica. “I’m So Bad Baby I Don’t Care” by Motorhead. “All In The Name Of…” by Motley Crue. ---

Not too many specific suggestions, but a genre you might want to try: Industrial/EBM (EBM is Electronic Body Music). A lot of it is very fast-paced and might suit what you’re looking for quite well. Good examples include: “Remove/Replace” by Icon of Coil “Reducer,” “Recovery,” and “Vacant Bodies” by Cruciform Injection “Date of Expiration” by Funker Vogt Numerous things by Assemblage 23 (too many to mention) I find this stuff to be great exercise music–pounding beat, fast pace, full of energy. ---

If you’re going by the video, can I nominate Call On Me? 🙂 ---
