I've got involved in a 40mile walk for charity. I want to create a compilation/motivation CD with "walking" themed tracks along the lines of:

Walk this way - Aerosmith/Run DMC
You'll Never Walk Alone - Gerry & The Pacemakers
Walk Like a Man - The Four Seasons
Walk on by - Dione Warwick
Walk like an Egyptian - The Bangles
Jesus Walks - Kanye West
These Boots Were Made for Walking – Nancy Sinatra
Walking on the Moon – The Police
Walking in Memphis – Marc Cohn
Walking on Broken Glass – Annie Lenox
Walk on By – Aretha Franklin
The Long & Winding Road – The Beatles
(Walk like a) Champion - Buju Banton
Walk This land - EZ Rockers
I can't dance (I can't walk) - Genesis
One step beyond - Madness
I'm Gonna Be - The Proclaimers (I would walk 500 miles...)
Walkin' Away - Craig David
Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed
Walking After You - Foo Fighters
Walking in the air - Aled Jones (The Snowman)


Any other suggestions? I'd like to make mix - so I'll need loads of tunes to select from with different bpms/keys...

Post suggestions here!

Cheers!

Walking in my Shoes - Depeche Mode

...and pretty much anything by The Walker Brothers of course...

Walk - Pantera
Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed
Walking After You - Foo Fighters
Walking Contradiction - Green Day

???

Sorry 'bout the multiple replies, but they keep popping up:

The Proclaimers - I'm gonna be (500 miles) - you know how the chorus goes
That Aled Jones song from The Snowman
That Depeche Mode song's got loads of (good) remixes too, so that'll fill up your playlist a bit

40 miles is a long way - how long do you reckon it'll take you?

I'm not walking it - I'm in the support team. I'll be driving it - slowly...

Most of the people on my team will be aiming to do it in less than 10hrs... Its called K2B - the Keswick to Barrow walk (Google it if you're interested). Some over road, some over country.

The definitive version of "Walk, Don't Run" is by the Ventures (1961)

Re: "Walk Like A Man" - Frankie Valli = The Four Seasons. (1963)

Forty miles is a long way. Don't restrict yourself to songs with "walk" in the title or lyric. Some inspirational rhythm'll help keep people in stride.

Some ideas:

"Gloria" - Them (featuring Van Morrison)
"Land of 1000 Dances" -Wilson Pickett (or by Cannibal & The Headhunters)
"Tramp" - Otis Redding & Carla Thomas
"Think" - Aretha Franklin
"Nobody But Me" - The Human Beinz
"Hold On, I'm Coming" - Sam & Dave

Forgive the fact that my tastes skew to the 60s...

Fantomas' version of this tune is fantastic. Patton & Co. make it even more brooding that the original soundtrack version!

Walking To You - EBTG
Walk out to winter - Aztec Camera

also check out this link, many walk or run songs listed

"walk on by" by cake....probably not a cover of other songs with the same title.

"Walking In Rhythm" The Blackbyrds
"The Walk" M.T.R.
"Couldn't Walk Away" Tetrack

Coldcut Featuring Robert Owens - Walk A Mile In My Shoes

and the Henrik Schwarz remix of course

Walk of life - Dire Straits
