What Songs Get Stuck in Your Head While Climbing?
|
... either intentionally, to create a headspace, or unintentionally. What songs play in the back of your mind as you're on a route? |
|
Yeah, but you're gonna need at least 2+ pitches for "Goodbye Sky Harbor." |
|
"Bye, bye Miss American Pie |
|
It's often Super Mario Bros for me. |
|
Lady Willpower: "...willpower, it's now or never..." Sort of out of context since the song has nothing to do with climbing, but the phrase is perfect for that committing move. |
|
For me it's "Baby Hold On" by Eddie Money. Started as a joke to mitigate the fear as an amateur trad leader, then became a kind of staple mantra. |

Seven Nation Army - White Stripes |
|
It used to be Free Falling by Tom Petty, but thanks to the Dean Potter tribute in RR10, it is now When My Time Comes by Dawes. Every. Single. Time. |
|
NAS "Life's a bitch and than you die, that's why we get high..never know when you gonna go" |
|
David Bowie Starman, intentionally |
|
Sorry if you've ever climbed next me. How Do You Do - Mouth and Macneal |

Accentuate the positive by Johnny Mercer and the Pied Pipers. Also, single ladies by Beyonce. Sketch section is accentuate, cruiser section is single ladies. Whatever, deal with it. |

Right now, it's that little ditty by BonJovi in the Direct TV commercials. Ahhhhhhgghghh..... |

I got a recent commercial stuck in my head too. 1877 cars for kids then I follow it with my own verse. Goes like this: 1877 cars for kids, get the fuck out of my way, 1877 cars for kids... |
