your "pump up" song
 

Ok, out with it...I know everyone has a pump up song. Most of you (myself included) have many, but everyone has one major one. Let's hear what yours is.

Mine is Sky, by Ra

Powerman 5000 - Free

"Magic Carpet Ride" and/or "Born to be Wild" - Steppenwolf

"Can't Stop" - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

My biggest one would be Destroyer by the KINKS.

Anthrax - Fueled and/or Slayer - Raining Blood

I really doubt anyone else will even list a song from Anthrax. *Cries*

Anyways, I could never pick between those two. :)

just found this tonight: Infernal - From Paris To Berlin
but before, it was Mark Mothersbaugh - Ping Island/Lighting Strike Rescue Op (from steve Zissou:life aquatic)

ACDC - Thunderstruck
or
Lost Prophets - Last Train Home

Pump It by Black Eyed Peas and Jitterbug by Wham!

GREAT pump up songs :D

...
 

OH MAN! ANYTHING FROM SYSTEM OF A DOWN!!

Group: System of a Down

Album: Self Titled

Song: Darts :D

Difficult to pick just one, of course. I'll have to put MF Doom - Doomsday from Operation Doomsday. I think it's got a really hype beat and he's always nasty.

There's nothing worse than a blubbering metalhead. So purely in the interests of getting Destrox to stop crying, I'm gonna say Anthrax - Belly of the Beast.

My song changes with the wind, but recently it's been (and this is an odd one I know) Green Day - Longview. The bass/drum combo just gets my blood pumping for some reason.

Usually anything by rage against the machine or linkin park

"Push Up" remix of the Freestylers by Plump DJs

"Feel Good, Inc" and "Dare"... Gorillaz. Make me do the funny shoulder dance in the car. :cool:

some of these are good, but most i havent even heard of...gonna have to download them

Haha, who would have ever thought of seeing those two words side by side in a sentance? *Blubbering Metalhead* I wasnt crying, really. :D

Let's check the Power playlist... not sure what I'd call my top. I'll just have to list a bunch.

"Volcano Girls", Veruca Salt
"Diamond Light Boogie", Cherry Poppin' Daddies
"Time to Start", Blue Man Group
"Peek-A-Boo", Siouxie and the Banshees
"Fun Zone", Weird Al Yankovic

Most anything from Godsmack or Korn

I think you mean "Wake me up before you go-go"? It has the intro line of "do the jitterbug".

/I shouldn't be admitting that I know that...

Too late... the truth is out.


I just chose to refrain from making the same post so I wouldn't share the same admission... wait... ah shit. too late.)

"How Many Licks" by Lil Kim and also

"Ladies Night" by Lil Kim and company

That song fucking rocks. I haven't heard it in about a Brazillian years though.

Thanks for the list! :thumbsup:

Pendulum-Submarines or Tarantula (pretty much any Pendulum or dirty drum&bass will get me pumped)

Dieselboy-Subculture

Nirvana-Rape Me (odd I know)

RATM-Bulls on Parade

System of a Down- Shimmy

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one yet, it's such an amazing pump up song. I listen to it before every football game to get ready to pound some ass!(did that sound gay?)

yes! that's a good one. Probably my second favorite (but miles behind the one i listed) is the Final Countdown, covered by the German Brass (so much better than Europe)...surprised no one has mentioned that yet either

I really actually like
Adema - The Way You Like It

There are a lot of songs (including almost any AC/DC song), but I'll throw out Republica - Ready To Go. Mmmm one-hit-wonderish.

Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin gets me goin'

Pantera - Walk
Pink Floyd - Have a Cigar
Strapping Young Lad - AAA
Korn - All in the Family (lame lyrics, but the beat is great)

Hi Ya'll. Thanks for the songs, much downloading soon. Try this: Avenged Sevenfold, Bat Country. If that song doesn't amp you up, you are dead. I only discovered the band last night. The album is City of Evil. They are a bit metal and a lot other. Lots of great guitar, fast-paced songs. But they are just different. Fucking fantastic.

Anything from System of a Down

Well, since I saw some older stuff here, I'll include

Hero-- Nickelback
Learning to Fly--Foo Fighters

seventy times seven --- brand new

or

cut your ribbon --- sparta

AC/DC - Back in Black

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Call Me The Breeze

Flatt & Scruggs - Foggy mountain Breakdown
Montgomery Gentry - Hillbilie Shoes

& Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gemi back my bullets

Mine has always been Sex and Violence by The Exploited.

Ooooo.. I forgot about this CD... What a great cd.. Adema really started to suck after it, though. Damn good song! Used to blare it when I worked in the factory and hated life.. haha

I'm going to have to go w/ Celldweller- Last Firstborn, or Zeromancer- Something for the Pain, as remixed by Apoptygma Berzerk.

Pantera - Walk
Prong - Snap You Fingers, Snap Your Neck
Slipknot - Left Behind
Disturbed - Down with the Sickness
SoiL - Breaking Me Down
All That Remains - Tattered on my Sleeve
MudVayne - Dig
Static-X - Push It, Wisconsin Deathtrip

Get any of these songs going and it is definately go time for me....now I feel like finding a mosh pit.

Avenged Sevenfold has gone to shit. It's cool that you like em and all but they used to be alot better.

After a great deal of thought and a meticulous elimination process I doth hereby decree that:

Everybody Loves a Carnival - by Fatboy Slim *is my "pump up song".


Until I decide to change my mind again.

Pantera - Fucking Hostile

How anyone who has heard this song can name anything else is beyond me.

If I was Jason Gedrick (Doug Masters) in Iron Eagle I would say "One Vision" by Queen :)

but I'm not, so I'll say "One" by Metallica.

how bout some old school "Rock You Like A Hurricane" by The Scorps...

meh...If I was going to say something by the Scorps, I would say Alien Nation. That song is badass.

Megadeth - Crush 'Em
Motorhead - The Game
Rob Zombie - Demon Speeding, Dragula, Living Dead Girl, Feel So Numb

Those are the ones I listened to in my Mustang while eating up the ricers. :)

25 years ago ... and I can't believe I used - "Drivers Seat" by Sniff and the Tears, as the motivator ...

Isaac Hayes - "Theme From Shaft"
James Brown - "Sex Machine"
Disturbed - "Land of Confusion"
Motorhead - "Ace of Spades"
The Kinks - "You Really Got Me" (Live)

Survivor- Eye of the tiger, and most of Disturbed songs

Nine Inch Nails - March of the Pigs

Yours Is No Disgrace - Yes
Break Stuff - Limp Bisquick
Bawitdaba - Kid Rock
Bat Country - Avenged Sevenfold
Smack My Bitch Up - Prodigy

Lots of good songs listed in this thread. Pleased to see Skynyrd's "Call Me The Breeze" on here.

Pantera - Shedding Skin

Changes - Tupac.

every time i play that song just before a game of anything i always end up winning cos it psyches me up and gets me into concentration mode where all i thinka bout is winning.

for me pumped up in being in the 'zone' where nothing else but what is ahead matters. everything else is negligible... yup tupac does it for me.

As Heaven is Wide - Garbage

Lets see,

Bombtrack, Killing in the name, and Sleep Down in a Fire - Rage against the Machine
TNT - ACDC
99 Problems - JAYZ

Prodigy - Firestarter
Green Day - Panic Song
Stone Temple Pilots - Crackerman

I must agree with dksuddeth. :thumbsup: I love these two!!! I also got some good ones from Disturbed.

A few different songs from Megaherz, notably:
Herzblut, Tanz auf dem Vulkan, 5. März, and Windkind.

They're a German metal band similar to Rammstein - let me know if anyone wants samples.

"Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" by Joe Nichols (Album : Joe Nichols - III)

Avenged Sevenfold- Bat Country (i think i saw this posted already)
Limp Bizkit- Break Stuff (i hate to admit to liking that song, lol)

and my new favorite-

Fight Paris- Balls Deep (actually basically anything by them...fucking crazy)

Anybody else ever listen to Fight Paris?

Pigeon John - The Chase

Hunters and Collectors : The Slab

AC DC : It's a long way to the top

Or the old Split Enz : Shark attack

Killswitch Engage - Breathe Life
And, as mentioned... Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up and pretty much everything from Disturbed.

My pump up CD includes the following...

1 - Die, mother fucker, die - Dope
2 - Let the bodies hit the floor - Drowning Pool
3 - Down with the sickness - Disturbed
4 - Firestarter - Prodigy
5 - Cowboys from hell - Pantera
6 - Snap your fingers, snap your neck - Prong
7 - Sugar - System of a down
8 - Angry again - Megadeth

This is the same CD that was blaring full volume from my HUMVEE gun turret in March '03 as we poured over the border and entered Iraq. Motivational indeed!

Head Like a Hole - Nine Inch Nails
Jump Around - House of Pain
Hey Man, Nice Shot - Filter

Definitely "Ace of Spades" - Motorhead.

Tied for second are "Jesus Built My Hotrod" - Ministry and "Demonoid Phenomenon" - Rob Zombie.

it honestly depends on what Im pumping up for lol

Bitch Meredith Brooks

For those who like Firestarter you gota get the Empirion Mix.

Get Off - The Dandy Warhols
We Repel Eachother - Reigning Sound
Money Talk - AC/DC
Tank! - The Seatbelts
Switch/Twitch - Fluke

Good call! Cowboy Bebop rules!

Lately I find it's been "Watching the Wheels" and "Imagine" by John Lennon and "Better Things" by the KINKS (who were just inducted to the British Music Hall of Fame and Ray Davies had the honor of inducting The Who, the same night.)

Mantus, thanks for the Firestarter Empirion. I like it. Also, I like the Dandy Warhols now. I love discovering new music. I understand that there is a lot of talent out there that I don't get exposed to, so I love it when you people give me a clue. I'm 35, and I don't really hit the clubs any more, but I still love great tunes, from any genre.

Ante Up- MOP

Actually anything by MOP, but this song especially.

Lots of great songs mentioned so far. A few new ones for me. Dieselboy+KAOS - Subculture - its a kick ass song guccilvr - any other songs like this?

Some more additions to the list:
The Professionals - Flava for Rava - mentioned yet?

Of course can't have a list like this without Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand

For those who like blues anything by Anson Funderburg & the Rockets is damn fine. Rambling Woman is a notable song but they are all great.

BTO's - Let it Ride <- Old school, how can we forget?

Goldie Looking Chain - Guns Dont Kill People Rappers Do <- 4 teh B-boiz

Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch <- mindless, very fun, but just once.

Benny Goodman - Sing, Sing, Sing <- old school jazz

Chemical Brothers - Galaxy Bounce <- there goes the subwoofer.

Los Lobos - Georgia Slop <- bluesy rock

There are many more but I cant finish this list without:
Outkast - B.O.B.

"Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group can get my motor running; heard it today in the car.

Drive By Truckers - Lookout Mountain

Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart
The Misftis - Die, Die My Darling
Talib Kweli - Get By
The Offspring - Mission From God
Hatebreed - Perseverence
AFI - The Prayer Position

Oh... a pump-up song.

I think anything from 'Nevermind the Bollocks... Here's the Sex Pistols' album will do the job fine for me.

And no, I don't listen to any other punk music in general.
And I do realize they seem to be too 'old' for my 'young' age- oh well, who cares?

Wicked - Ice Cube
Thug Luv - Tupac and Bone
Mudshovel - Staind
The Swarm - Bionic Jive
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
Calm Like a Bomb - Rage
Rabble Rouser - MDFMK
Southern Hospitality - Ludacris

Ive got 3 boxing mixes full of em

there will never be a better getting ready to go out song than So Fresh So Clean by Outkast.

This is where I'm going to admit that for pure "pump up" purposes, Puffy's cover "Come With Me" works better than Kashmir -- but Kashmir is an INFINITELY better song. Thunderstruck by AC/DC has been listed a few times, and I'll list it again, as it's my number one.

Some unusual ones from me are "Pet"/"Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums" by APC, "Bottom" and "46 and 2" by Tool, "Machinehead" by Bush, Nazereth's "Hair of the Dog" and "Clubbed to Death" by Rob D.

Guns n' Roses - welcome to the jungle!

Wow, Half of my current playlist is mentioned in this thread.

Here's a few off the top of my head..
Wake up - Rage against the Machine
Bombs over Baghdad - Outkast
Cochise - Audioslave
Walk - Pantera
Boom - System of a Down
Push It - Static X
March of the pigs - Nine Inch Nails
Bodies - Drowning Pool

umm.. Rammstein, Rob Zombie, Metallica, Disturbed, have multiple songs that do the trick...

As the lovely ShaniFaye mentioned, it really depends what I am getting pumped up for.

For a particular subset of physical activity,
Steve Vai - For the Love of God and Tender Surrender
Satch - Always with Me, Always with You and Love Thing

For the rest of it:
For some reason Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
Followed closely by:
Bruce Dickinson - The Return of the King
AC/DC - For those about to Rock
Eminem - Lose Yourself
Bush - Machinehead

And I could go on and on and on - one more from the world's best band, though:

Blue &Ouml;yster Cult: Pocket

there are too much of 'em, but I'd say
"Guano Apes - Open your eyes"

I've got a few, depending on my mood:

Dreams - Van Halen
Children - Robert Miles
Du Hast - Rammstein
Spybreak - Propellerheads
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
Jenny Says - Cowboy Mouth

And not necessarily a PUMP UP song, but one that always always puts me in a great mood:

In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
