Race Day Playlist: Chicago Marathon

Many of you took me up on my donation-for-a-song deal, and I am so, so, so thankful for your generosity — and for your interesting taste in music. I gotta say, you guys really brought it: some booty-shakin’, some hard-rockin’, some flat-out hilarious. This is gonna be fun. — Mags

Playlist stats: 72 songs, 4:26:49 total time. (Also of note: There are only 18 repeat songs from last year’s 71-song marathon playlist, and just five holdovers from 2010. Bonus points if you can guess which five.)
