Well, like most everybody I have lots of "favourites" and SCI's "Round the Wheel" is one definately one of my hooper "anthems".

But the song that makes me tingle the most when I hoop to it, and gets me really high is,
"Sometimes" by Michael Franti and Spearhead.
It's a song that I've danced to, jumped around to and hooped to at Horning's Hideout, Quincy, Whistler and The Fabulous Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver (Michael Franti sure gets around)
with my closest family and my newest hooper friends.
It's the song that will be my athem for this year when I turn 50 years old and it means a lot to me for so many reasons
Rocking soulfull beats, sweet lyrics and super-positive vibes.
Thank you Michael and thanks to all the freaky, happy and loving people that I have shared with over the last few years.

Here is the chorus:

Sometimes ... I feel like I could do anything
Sometimes ... I'm so alvive
Sometimes ....I feel like I could zoom across the sky
Sometimes ... I wanna cry

Here's the rest of the lyrics:

and I've just been hooping and dancing around my living room to this, so the "sometimes" is NOW !!

sorry... it's paul oakenfield not oakenflied...ha!

i have the electro mix that i love by the by, since there's a million mixes.

You don't need an iPod at all :)

It does CDs, I'm pretty sure you can just change the Burn CD option to create MP3s too, or you can just use it to manage your music library on your computer and listen while you work/surf/Tribe :)

I’m a geek cos I don’t own an ipod but one of my fav songs to hoop to right now is a David Bowie song I think its called “looking for Water” its on his latest CD

Ooh, I like that.. just bought it, after wading through their other most-popular songs, this was still the one that sounded most interesting and hoopable!

Thanks for the recommendation..

I just bought CDs from a guy who does wicked things with a cello.. heard the last two minutes of his set last night and LOVED it, needed to hear more.. not sure if he's up on iTunes, but he's got a site at www.nickogawa.com with sound cliips :) Check him out...

I love that song too Caroleeena!
I first heard it on "So You Think You Can Dance" where they did this group dance choreographed by Wade Robson. The dancers were all dressed as zombies and it was really creepy and wonderful!
you can see the video of that performance here: www.youtube.com/watch

I got the album right after that and have enjoyed hooping to that song the most.

Oh yeah!
I couldn't agree more - Michael Franti is soooo hoop-inspirational for me too :)

here are a couple of videos:
Fire hooping to "Yell Fire" - www.youtube.com/watch
LED hooping to "One Step Closer To You" - www.youtube.com/watch

welcome to the wonderful world of hooping! :)

I too have been hooping to Michael Franti for as long as I've been hooping. My favorite is "Feeling Free" and I really love "Ganja Babe" for a slower jam. I recently hooped to the OLD Louis Prima version of "When you're smiling" (because I can't stop when I hoop)..and it was really fun..very bouncy with some horns..cheerful and lovely!
