I had done my 100 sit-ups and headed into the garage to lift some weights and punch the heavy bag.
As always, I brought my iPod with me so that I can listen to some music while I work out. This time, I had it tuned to the ‘80s station on Pandora.
After tuning in, I spent some time grunting and lifting weights. Once done, I stepped away and prepared for the heavy bag.
The second I grabbed my pair of Muhammad Ali boxing gloves, this song starts:
(Note: Sony Music can suck it for disabling embedding for all of their YouTube videos)
I seriously had to stop and catch my breath since I was laughing so hysterically. Really, I couldn’t even punch the damn bag! I tried but only landed soft blows that wouldn’t even hurt a gnat.
So I stopped, focused, let the song continue, and started all over again.
Ten minutes later I raised my hands and proudly exclaimed, “Yo, Adrian! I did it!”
I’m sure the neighbors love me.
I have a pilot friend who has to wake up at the crack of dawn in hotels for work and on top of that he’s not exactly a morning person. He sets his iPod alarm clock to play this song every morning, so he wakes up and starts the day in a good mood. Pretty genius, I think.
