I completely missed last week and for this week, well, I find it hard to beat ā€œBorn to Runā€ and ā€œIf I Could Turn Back Timeā€ for this list. Still, I will offer my somewhat uninspired choices for todayā€™s mixtape:

The fun song (with the oddly appropriate line)

ā€œDonā€™t Stop Me Nowā€ by Queen

Tonight Iā€™m gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world Iā€™ll turn it inside out, yeah
Iā€™m floating around in ecstasy
So, (donā€™t stop me now)
(Donā€™t stop me)
'Cause Iā€™m having a good time, having a good time

The other fun song (NSFW should you decide to look it up and listen)

ā€œMarathonā€ by Dilated Peoples

The first part of the chorus screams Flash and his demeanor to me:

Yo, they go off when they go on
On and on, on and on (Marathon)
Pace yourself so you can face yourself
Run hard, you really only race yourself

The second part describes the whole Flash Familyā€™s powers and purpose:

Yo, they go off when they go on
On and on, on and on (Marathon)
But we donā€™t run from ####, we run to it
Might run over your #### or run through it

And for a third(!) fun song, one with an oddly Flashpoint-specific bent to it

ā€œEdge of Seventeenā€ by Stevie Nicks

And the days go by
Like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby
Nothinā€™ else mattered

I also find it kind of funny she has a best-of album called ā€œTimespaceā€. Did she know something back then? :sweat_smile:

Awesome selection! This (and the similarly NSFW Run by Ghostface Killah) used to be staples of my run mix. I should start running again.

One for Barry and Iris, their ā€˜Lightening Rodā€™ love storyā€¦

And the one thing the Flashā€™s Rogues Gallery are always thinkingā€¦

Canā€™t believe Iā€™m the first one to use this here, especially because Iā€™ve used it before, butā€¦

Additionally, if the ā€œRunning Up That Hillā€ thatā€™s been posted here already is not just a cover of Kate Bushā€™s song of the same name, then my second entry is Bushā€™s ā€œRunning Up That Hillā€. But if it is, then my second entry is this Flashpoint-y song:
