Zombies, Run!

This post is inspired by this iPhone app (please look at this site before continuing): https://www.zombiesrungame.com/

I really do think that it's an INGENIOUS way to get people to go out and get some exercise, while having fun at the same time.  It's also one of those apps that make me wonder why I didn't think of it first!

In any case, I decided to pay the steep price of $8 and download the game to my phone, and plan on trying it out ASAP.  But here's the thing: Between story chunks, the app actually plays music from your own playlists.  So this is where you come in:

What's the best music to listen to while running from zombies??

I'm raising this blog from the dead, if only temporarily, to ask you all to provide playlist suggestions for this theme.  I am including my own brief playlist here, in hopes that some of you will be able to help me expand it.  Most of my songs include a good beat/rhythm to set a running pace to, but I do make exceptions once or twice for songs that I just can't help leaving out, like the Cranberries' "Zombie."  And, like "Zombie," a lot of the songs aren't REALLY about zombies, per se, but due to their title or some of the lyrics, or maybe even the overall tone of the music, they could arguably fit in in some way. Another good example of this is New Found Glory's "Forget My Name," in which is repeated the phrase, "Tell all my friends I'm dead."

My playlist so far:

  1. "Zombie" from The Cranberries: Stars - The Best of 1992-2002 by The Cranberries
  2. "Thriller" from Thriller by Michael Jackson
  3. "Another One Bites the Dust" from Greatest Hits by Queen
  4. "Bring Me To Life" from Fallen by Evanescence
  5. "Devil's Dance Floor" from Swagger by Flogging Molly
  6. "Everybody Get Dangerous" from Weezer (Red Album) by Weezer
  7. "Forget My Name" from Sticks and Stones by New Found Glory
  8. "Hammerhead" from Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace by The Offspring
  9. "I Will Survive" from Fashion Nugget by Cake
  10. "Savior" from Appeal to Reason by Rise Against

So I'm itching for your suggestions!  What's appropriate music to hear while escaping the zombie apocalypse?  Go!
