[quote="1000Knives"][quote="ZX_SpectrumDisorder"]I always make sure I have my iPod with me 'cause the background music in my gym is ultra annoying 150bpm Euro crap like Bruno's Funkyzeit theme music and just in case there's nothing on TV. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oca2RG269aA[/youtube][/quote] That stuff usually only gets played in aerobic classes here. Actually last aerobics class I overheard (I was still doing my thing and they were setting up) was Katy Perry's "California Girls" in 150BPMness. I don't know, I'd probably prefer the 150BPM euro stuff for a couple weeks over the normal "ALL THE SINGLE LADIES PUT A RING ON IT" kinda stuff that normally gets played at my gym. Now my gym is starting to play a generic 80s music station, though, thank goodness.[/quote]
