Comment:

You're nearing the finish line, and your legs are beginning to feel like rubber, your heart (which has somehow climbed up to your skull) is pounding like a jackhammer, and you're in need of some [i]Rocky[/i]-caliber sonic motivation. Welcome to our [i]Marathon[/i] Deep Cuts, where Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders take it to the pavement right alongside you in the "Middle of the Road"; where Wreckx-N-Effect drop a big-bottom beat onto the Saturday night goodness of "Rump Shaker," driving your rump straight ahead to its destination; and where Fine Young Cannibals' "Good Thing" is an utterly irresistible call to beat the odds (or to [i]ignore[/i] the odds) and keep on moving. Feel those beads? That's [i]good[/i] sweat.
