I'm not even a huge fan, but for some reason, this song just works on the treadmill or elliptical. I am to the point where, even when I am working out without music, I can still hear "Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!" in my head while I am running. It's like a weird 70's-era mantra that just fits with my internal rhythm.
