Bicycle music - need ideas.

I am doing an animation that features photos of bike salutes, and I need some music to for the soundtrack. The song needs to be upbeat and . The first song that comes to mind is Bicycle Race by Queen, I don't want that. It is too easy.

I am looking for something less literal. I'd use The Apology Song By the Decemberists if it was not that sentimental.

Are there any electronica (or any other type) tracks that sample bicycle bells?

Any ideas for literal songs in Spanish or French?

I want the to hear all of the ideas you have.

Dubi,

Hope this helps, just a start.
(You know there is a version of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy commissioned by Specialized for the holidays last year that is a recording on only bicycle parts - a touch holiday for what you want. Still ???I have it somewhere. Perhaps YouTube has it or even the Specialize site.)

Good luck.

A few suggestions and then absolute musts following:


Silent Shout by The Knife (it actually sounds like spokes)
check out Neverland too

Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones (too obvious?)

Hold On by KT Kunstall (perfect)

Jenny Take a Ride by Mitch Rider and the Detroit Wheels (old school but good)

Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye (to sensual?)

Lake Michigan by Rogue Wave

Europop Club music: then it’s Everytime We Touch by Cascada

What’s wrong with Eric Clapton’s version of Sweet Home Chicago (other than his bad math in the song)

With a touch of country picking only instrumental the sensational Sugarfoot Rag by Junior Brown (great cadence music by the way)

Up beat and feeling great? only Choice is: New Attitude by Patti LaBelle


Absolute best pick:

Rollin’ and Tumbled by Jeff Beck (get the Jeff Beck version in stead of Dylan’s new version or even the classic Muddy Waters –my hero)

Second place

I Drove All Night by Roy Obison (Cyndi Lauper gets it on and even Celine Dion makes this great song work in Vegas)


Third place

Do It Well by J-Lo
