A Musical Lottery! First prize 500SP :) winners announced, pg 7!

I'm getting a little addicted to these lottery things...this will be my last one before the christmas sales 
Basically, I'd like to use you all to update my Spotify playlist! I'm currently training for a half marathon I'm doing in the Spring, and I'm getting bored of my running playlist so I would love you to recommend me a track to add to it!
I enjoy all genres of music so anything is fine, it doesn't even have to be upbeat 'running' type music as I like a good variety - music from any decade and country is fine too. Ideally I'd like to try some songs I've never heard of before, but I don't exactly have my finger on the pulse these days so as long as you avoid Rihanna/One Direction/Adele etc I'm sure I'll be thrilled with your choice
So, the rules:
Nominations: Everyone may have 2 nominations, you can include yourself but you don't have to. I won't count multiple nominations so it might be worth checking whether someone has already been nominated first.
Closing Date: Friday 30th November, 8pm GMT
How to enter: Please recommend 1 track you think I should try. I'd love it if you also shared why you like the song, but you don't have to!
Prizes: 1st Prize - 500SP
2nd Prize - 250SP
3rd Prize - 125 SP
Drawing: I'll number the list of entrants, and use random.org to draw the winners.
.... I think that's everything, I'm looking forward to your suggestions!

O-bla-di O-bla-da, and Lady Madonna, always make me so happy and want to dance and get up. It's pretty nice.
I can suggest/recommend:
Amy May - Real (
Sanne Salomonsen - On a night like this (
Culture Club - Karma Chameleon (
Anything with Depeche Mode! Because well, Depeche Mode!
Erasure (anything! but specifically) - Oh L'amour (
John Denver - Leaving on a jetplane (
And just about anything by Sam Tsui that you can find on youtube. The guy has an AMAZING voice, but his version of "King of anything" is particularly awesome -
I hope some of these are usable. I'd love to throw my entire music library at you, but 170 CDs and 106 gigs on a harddrive may be a biiiit much
Oi. Erh, I guess I should nominate me: http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=DolphineQ
I'd also like to nominate yabajen: http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/yabajen
Some of these are from when I was a kid, some from my youth years and some are fairly recent. I just kindda fall in love with a song and then boom, I'll always love it.
And oh, since you're training for a marathon, then you know what it's like to work hard for your dreams. So THIS one is surely for you.
Irene Cara - The Dream (
This song has inspired me to push through so many times, especially when I did dance competitions and such. I hope it'll give you a smile on your lips and a ton of determination.
I've never heard this one either, and I *love* inspirational songs! Cheesy as it is, one of my favourites for running is I'll Make a Man Out of You, from Mulan :P
Hmm.. well there's this one song that I'm currently in love with, which, in my opinion, is an awesome running track. It's called She Wolf by David Guetta and Sia. It's a fairly recent song but it's really good. A million times better than Nicki Minaj and all that... nonsense..
I love it because it just gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, and the lyrics and music video inspired my latest story (writing, not sims)! :P
There is the song.
But, the reason it relate to this song so much is because that was my best summer I ever had with my girlfriends. I was 16. just got my drivers license and car. I lived in a small town, so the thing to do was cruising the main drag, making mixed tapes and just being goofy. Gas was under a buck, the music was fun and everyone loved Bryan Adams!
So, I hope you enjoy this song.
-Snow
Good luck with your half marathon!

Blysscia - Great song! It's going on the list.
At this rate I'll have enough new tracks to delete Justin bloomin' Timberlake altogether! His songs are good for my running pace, but my goodness they're getting on my nerves now :P
I actually need to update my running playlist too.. so this thread will be helpful for me as well.
Here are some songs I enjoy running to:
Grand Optimist - City and Colour
Banner - LIGHTS
Kill Your Hereos - AWOLNATION
Demons - Imagine Dragons
I have to get ready for school now, so I don't have time to look for nominations.. so could you just put my username down, and in the chance that I win, I'll let you know who'd I like to give my winnings to? That would be great. If not, I'll update this post after school.
