Tonight I learned The Beach Boys do not in any way, shape or form provide good music to practice karate by.
I often flip through the XM music channels on DirecTV during my workouts, and tonight came to a stop on Top Tracks. The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” was just beginning, and I couldn’t bring myself to start throwing blocks and punches to that beat.
Maybe if I changed the lyrics?
I’m thinkin’ ’bout kickin’ your head in
You’re gonna be eatin’ pavement
Nah. The music’s still too upbeat.
