Simpy Red - "Money's Too Tight (to Mention)"

While paging through some random magazine in 1998, I remember seeing a list of the "Ultimate Workout Songs".  According to the article, these tunes were audio caffeine guaranteed to boost your workouts.  Thinking back on that list today, I don't recall any songs from said list except for one: "Money's Too Tight (to Mention)" by Simply Red.  When you think about bands known for their upbeat sound, rarely does Simply Red make said list.  While I had never heard of the song, I found it on a CD of mine and listened.  Granted I have some strange songs on my "RUN" playlist, but "Money's Too Tight (to Mention)" isn't one of them.

OK Go - "Here It Goes Again"

Whereas MTV and VH-1 has mostly abandoned music videos, the alternative rock group OK Go has capitalized on the power of the music video.  Their 2007 "Here It Goes Again" was a hit thanks largely in part to a video that featured treadmills.  In 2016, the group re-surfaced in the YouTube-o-sphere with another video for the song "Upside Down & Inside Out".  The video was shot in zero-gravity and went viral.
