Whats on your exercise playlist?

So, after some consideration.... (after a thoughtful vegwebber pointed out the working with children while having multiple piercings in my hips and wrists might lead to "OWWWW!") I have decided to slow down on the piercings for rewarding good behavior and was thinking about buying things instead....

My next BIG thing....will be an MP3 player...I mainly want one so that I can make a playlist to listen to at the gym!

What do you listen to that pumps you up when exercising? So far I have

Humps by black eyed peas
Boom, Boom pow, by black eyed peas
I know you want me by pitbull
if you see Amy by Brittany spears
You wanna piece of me by Brittany Spears
welcome to the jungle guns n roses
Devil went down to Georgia Johnny cash(?)
Allstar Smash mouth

and yes, I might include "eye of the tiger" too..hehe...Whats on your exercise mix?

I didn't want to start over, so I'm reviving this thread.

Have there been any upbeat, fast-paced hits since last summer?  I lost all of my music when my desktop crashed.  Now that I have permanent gym membership, I need to get on with loading good music for my elliptical workout.  I tend to obsess about how much time I still have left when I'm doing elliptical, so fun, boppy tune suggestions are welcome.

I love working out to Santigold.  All the other stuff on my mp3 player is totally random.

I totally forgot about her!  I first saw her in a Converse commercial a couple(?) of years ago.

I've decided to download 10 to 15 songs a month.  So far, I have this week's five, but I'm semi-stumped for next week.

This week's music:
The Automatic - That's What She Said
Infidels - Can't Get Enough
The Fratellis - Creepin Up the Backstairs
Dirty Pretty Things - Doctors & Dealers
We Are Scientists - The Great Escape

I like faster music, but slower music, like Santigold, may actually be better on weight-lifting days.

Next week I'm adding Mississippi Mass Choir's I'm Not Tired (It's religious, but I like the "I'm not tired" part.)

I don't workout (except yoga, and that calls for a completely different style of music IMO), but I used to and every once in a while I hear songs and still think to myself "This is a great work-out tune!" I had that thought with a few songs from the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack. It has some seriously awesome music! If I was to go to a gym and needed some motivating music I'd definitely include these on my playlist:

You Make My Dreams- Hall and Oates
Here Comes Your Man- Meaghan Smith
Sweet Disposition- The Temper Trap
She's Got You High- Mumm Ra
