Fire-up songs

[Courty]

I'm putting together a playlist for when I go to the gym, and I want to fill it with those songs that fire you up. You know, like Eye Of The Tiger. :roll:

I intend to end up with a mix of new & old stuff.

What can you suggest?

List so far:

Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue
Their Law (Live) - The Prodigy (This live version is possibly the best 'fire-up' song I've come across to date. I can just imagine Keith going off his tits on stage.)
Poison - The Prodigy
Mr Vain - Culture Beat (An anthem from my clubbing days)
Linkin Park - Points Of Authority (Live)
Grinspoon - More Than You Are (Live)
Ultra Sonic - Annihilating Rhythm (Pt. 2)

[Boonie]

Monkey Wrench by the Foo Fighters!

[Moe Norman]

Deeper Underground - Jamiroquai

[markTHEblake]

Video Killed the Radio Star

[oldmannoodles]

She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult
Anything off Rage Against The Machine's first album
All Fired Up - Pat Benatar (bit daggy but still works!)

[Webster]

Kickstart my heart - Motely Crue

[mike]

Fat Bottom Girls - Queen

[Scottt]

Joker and the Thief - Wolfmother
Holiday Inn - Chingy ft. Snoop

Both the above have a beat that matches a good solid stride while running for me, keeps me going after I would otherwise slow to a walk.

Let Me Think About It (good for treddie/bike - Not sure who it's by
My People - The Presets

I also find stuff like Pathetic by Blink 182 and Fat Lip by Sum 41 is good.

[Jarro]

Wake up Boys - Foo Fighters

[Courty]

Kickstart my heart - Motely Crue

Yes!

Some good stuff so far... keep 'em coming.

[AndyP]

Successful run songs I've had include:
Eye Of the Tiger
Most of 2 Unlimited songs
Queen - We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions
Black Betty

[sms316]

Europe - The Final Countdown
For starting a session on the treadmill - Sir Mix-a-lot - Baby Got Back (the first 60 seconds fits perfectly with starting a treaddy session).
Yellow - Oh Yeah!

[markTHEblake]

Most of 2 Unlimited songs

Bound for Glory - Rose Tattoo. I would have thought that would have been a lay down misere.

Pain in the ass getting that message that says you require 30 seconds between posts, isn't it?

[macjackass]

It's not a pump up song but the best treadmill song I have is take your mama out by the scissor sisters. It's the version they did at live 8. Perfect beat for running.

[AndyP]

[Courty]

I'm not familiar with this one, I'll give it a run. I have added 'Here In Your Bedroom' to the list, though.

:smt023

[Courty]

Def Leppard - Let's Get Rocked (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/def+leppard/lets+get+rocked_20038879.html)

Good call. I've also added 'Pour Some Sugar On Me'.

[AndyP]

I was going to have the Ipod with me on my long run this morning, and was hoping to come across some good ones, but I realised I'd left it in the house after locking the door. Doh! :roll:

[Johnny Canuck]

:smt023
Here in your bedroom is a great track as well.

Mable is the last song I would listen to every single time I went snowboarding. I thought it was great karma when I went to bungee jump for the first time and it was playing. Made the jump so much easier.

What is love is my favourite dance song from my clubbing days.

[Jarro]

All Fired Up - Pat Benetar

[Webster]

Bust a move - Young MC

[goughy]

All fired up - Pat Benatar!

[Eag's]

Read up a few posts mate :roll:

Just just thought of it and had to add it, as usual I didn't check!

Then add 'Hit me with your best shot' and 'You better Run' - same chicky!

[Jarro]

My Apocalypse - Metallica

[jimandr]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned:

Deep Purple - Highway Star (or Smoke on the Water, or Space Truckin')
Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell
Talking Heads - Burning Down The House

or from right out of left field... the clapping bit from Greased Lightning, or
Abba - Voulez Vous
Pseudo Echo - Funky Town
Dan Hartman (or the boy band cover version) Relight My Fire
Trammps - Disco Inferno (burn, baby, burn .. how appropriate)

[Webster]

James Brown - Living in America (the Rocky IV version)
Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music White Boy

Is that you? The 6'4.5" guy??

[adlo]

Courty, surely RATM has to make the list?
It is the best music to get fired up to, by far.

Also:
Dave Matthews Band: Drive In, Drive Out
La Rocca: Sing Song Sung
Powderfinger: Upbeat tracks from Vulture St

[Johnny Canuck]

Yes, that is I. Classic movie.

[adlo]

Listening to Dave Matthews Band today, I think a few more suggestions:

Too Much
I Did It
What You Are
So Right

[AndyP]

Cake - The Distance

[Courty]

Bump, updating my playlist for C25K.

This is what I'm currently working with, but need some fresh stuff:

http://i.imgur.com/I6KGkje.jpg

[timah!]

I love Miami2Ibiza!

Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Blur - song 2
30 seconds to mars - kings and queens

[Lagerlover]

Queen Live At The Beeb, the lost tapes...

Why is my helmet so brown?

[LeftyHoges]

Not to threadjack but I need one of these.

It's a 4 minute drive to the course on Sunday morning for my champs final and I need the ULTIMATE fire-up song for the strategy of the days play. I tried Lupe Fiasco's "Kick Push" for my last final in '06, but that resulted in a 7/6 loss and a snapped putter that I nearly stabbed someone with. Probably something different required this time.

Problem is I'm not even sure of the strategy of play yet either.

Suggestions? (for both...)

[timah!]

If you don't mind Lupe, try 'Streets on fire' or 'hello/goodbye'.

Most RATM does it for me but this one has a special place in my heart.

Fugazi waiting room also does special things to my loins.

[LeftyHoges]

If you don't mind Lupe, try 'Streets on fire' or 'hello/goodbye'.

May stay away from Lupe this year, I think. Would hate for him to be the hoodoo and **** up another chance.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5hPeJwynEI

I'm just gonna assume these we're for the general fire up songs and not specific to me.

As true as "Wide awake and he shakes in a panic" and "Try to breathe, but you can't" will be true, it's not quite the message I want to send to myself. :lol:

[Yossarian]

The opening burst of guitar always gets me going on that one.

Maybe you should just go with

[BayBum]

Chemical Brothers - Piku (especially good in the car with a good system)

Jay-Z feat M.O.P - You Dont Know (remix). Played this song as my mates fight entrance song & it went off ! M.O.P are nasty dudes.

Tech n9ne - Worldwide Choppers. Probably not ideal having the word chopper in it while your heading to the golf course lol but it still has a big mean sound to it.

Drive to the course with U2 - Bad blaring out of the speakers.

I don't understand. Why did they title a song that describes their music?
