Zumba Gold Playlist
I teach Zumba Gold twice a week. The only differences between my Zumba and my Zumba Gold classes are:
1) no hip hop or rap in ZG,
2) no jumping & less turns in ZG,
3) more repetitive choreography in ZG (btw, more repetitive does not mean boring!), and
4) my playlists change less often for ZG.
I like to give my Zumba Gold participants more time with songs to get comfortable, and my Zumba Gold participants seems to like to have familiar songs too.
Here is a “master” Zumba Gold playlist of the music I have used in my Zumba Gold classes over the past few months sorted by style. Whether you are a Zumba Gold instructor looking for ideas, or a Zumba Gold participant looking for your favorite music from your class, I hope you enjoy!

An Open Letter to the Zac Brown Band
Dear Zac Brown Band,
If there was a clean version of Toes available to the public, I would use it in my Zumba classes.
Thank you,
Rencsi
I was looking for a fun end-of-summer song to add to my Zumba playlist and I decided on Toes by the Zac Brown Band. I had the choreography ready to go. All I needed was a clean version of the song…
No such luck – there isn’t one. The clean version made available to radio stations is not available to the public.
I’m all for free speech, but I can’t blast the word “ass” over a loud speaker system to a captive audience of all ages. So Toes is a no-go and I’m sad.

I’m going to see my favorite local musicians, Matty O’Reilly and John Schjolberg, play tonight at the 331 Club in Northeast Minneapolis.
I first saw Matty O’Reilly (acoustic guitar and vocals) and John Schjolberg (pedal steel guitar) perform Speed of the Sound of Loneliness by John Prine at one of Matty’s restaurants, the 318 Cafe in Excelsior, Minnesota. I loved it so much I told my friends it was like, “Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one.”
You can download a free live version of John Prine performing Speed of the Sound of Loneliness from Glide Magazine here: http://www.glidemagazine.com/free-music-downloads/1012/john-prine-speed-of-the-sound-of-loneliness-mp3.html
Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
by John Prine
You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you’re feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don’t come home at all
So what in the world’s come over you
And what in heaven’s name have you done
You’ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You’re out there running just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that’ll last forever
Get left so far behind
So what in the world’s come over you
And what in heaven’s name have you done
You’ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You’re out there running just to be on the run
It’s a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It’s crossed the evil line today
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain’t got one word to say
So what in the world’s come over you
And what in heaven’s name have you done
You’ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You’re out there running just to be on the run
You’re out there running just to be on the run
You’re out there running just to be on the run
You’re out there running just to be on the run
He Knows A Lot About Love and Stuff, And He’s Gonna Marry Me
I love movie soundtracks. And I love the movie Sweet Home Alabama, but the Sweet Home Alabama soundtrack
was a terrible mistake. It featured easy-listening covers of classic southern rock hits… What were they thinking?!?
The one shining star of The Sweet Home Alabama soundtrack is Marry Me
Marry Me
by Dolly Parton
Well I met a boy from Grassy Branch
Fine as he can be
I met him at the big barn dance
And he took a shine to me
Sky blue eyes, a big, wide smile
And tall as a sycamore tree
He’s real smart with a real big heart
And he’s gonna marry me
He’s gonna marry me
And we’re gonna go to town
We’re gonna buy some real good car
And we’re gonna drive around
We’ll hold hands an’ touch ‘n’ hug
He talks so sweet to me
‘Cause he knows a lot about love and stuff
And he’s gonna marry me
His momma don’t like me one little bit
But you know I don’t care
Let her pitch her hissy fit
Cause I ain’t a’ marryin’ her
He’s always been a momma’s boy
It’s just plain jealousy
She’s as mad as an old wet hen
‘Cause he’s gonna marry me
Oh, an’ he’s gonna marry me
An’ he’s gonna buy me a ring
We’re gonna be so free
Cut momma’s apron strings
He’s gonna build me a pretty little house
Have a pretty little made-for-three
‘Cause he done kiss me on the mouth
An’ he’s gonna marry me
Yeah, he’s gonna marry me
He’s gonna buy me a ring
We’re gonna be so free
Cut momma’s apron strings
He’s gonna build me a pretty little house
Have a pretty little made-for-three
‘Cause he’s done kiss me on the mouth
So he’s gotta marry me
Yeah he’s done kiss me on the mouth
And he’s gonna marry me
