Bicycle Songs

A friend of mine has her first stage race tomorrow and is a bit nervous. I'm trying to hook her up with a biking related playlist to listen to before she starts. Any suggestions?

Current List:

Handlebars - Flobots
Bicycle Race - Queen
Tony's Theme - The Pixies
Brand New Key - Melanie

Don't forget Queen. Their bicycle race song is great.

Happy Pre race:
La parranda Gloria Estefan, if this does not get her happy and excited she is not trying.
Linus And Lucy Vince Guaraldi Trio, christmas in June
Jump, Jive, An' Wail Louis Prima
Muchas Gracias Opus De Salsa, hard to be in a bad mood listening to this

Mellow pre race:
Take Five The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Mentally tough pre race:
Tough Mary Etta James, tough as nails

For the start of the race
Rimsky-Korsakov / Flight Of The Bumblebee, a minute or so of frenzy

In all seriousness, tell her to wear a heart rate monitor if she has one. That way she will know if she is going out too fast

I like listening to Face to Face and Blink 182 while riding, oh and maybe Rancid...

"bike ride to the moon" by the Dukes of the Stratosphear (aka XTC) is also a good one.

one of my personal faves:
so much beauty in the dirt
modest mouse

it's not heavily bicycle related, but it does have the one lyric that says,
"get real drunk, ride our bikes... there's so much beauty it could make you cry."

not bicycle related at all... but ping island would get me jazzed before a race.

My favorite bike song: "Cycling is Fun" by Shonen Knife:

Not a motivator, but you might also enjoy my song "Dan Shular," about some
backwoods types I met while bicycling across Montana:
