Or pretty much any adagio section from a Bruckner symphony. I think
his ninth symphony would perk me right up at mile 23.

If you absolutely must play music from the last several decades with
words and all, how about some nice tasty Joy Division?

I was thinking something more contemporary, and with more mass appeal.
Like, the tune from the "old man" commercial of Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Ah, Venga Boys' "We Like to Party". Insanely catchy... and highly
Brucknerian.

Aw man, Jobs, now I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head for the
next week. That was probably the hook-iest bubblegum pop song of the
last decade and in fact it sticks in my head as tenaciously as
bubblegum in hair.

Anything by Celine Dion, The Village People, or Motorhead.

The song remains the same by Led Zeppelin

Hey, that's a good one Dave - such an "up" song, buzzing with huge
energy.

Mile 23 of my only prior marathon "Dazed And Confused" would've been
about right.

How about "The Song that Never Ends."

You aiming to provoke a mass suicide or what? Or maybe I just need to listen
to some Bruckner again, now that my hearing is fading with age :->

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves (I think)

Precisely. Now that Helsinki gave me a taste of age group glory, I'm
aiming to do whatever it takes to return to that podium!

You'll need a programme for maybe three hours and your audience will
consist both of the spectators (who'll probably be there for a longer
time) and the runners who'll be passing in varying states of exhaustion
and mental stages, so you'll need a certain amount of variety and a not
too short playlist and songs that are instantly recognizable or
otherwise able to work their magic in tired minds.

Some funky stuff (such as Edwin Starr's "Twentyfive Miles"😉, some silly
stuff (Henry Mancini's "Baby Elephant Walk"😉, some upbeat classic pop
songs (Kylie Minogues's "I Should Be So Lucky"😉 and some catchy,
energizing ethnic rhythms (Mory Kante's "Yeke Yeke"😉.
