What's the one song that motivates you?

I have that one song. You have that one song. We all have that one song. Some people have more than one song (that's okay!). What is the one song that gets you fired up?

 

For me, if I'm diggin' some alternative, it's Sleigh Bells' "Infinity Guitars." If I need to hear some nice hip-hop to get my workout going, my go-to is Kanye West's "Power."  If I need some EDM in my life, I go with this amended version of Lana Del Ray's "Summertime Sadness." As far as song in movies go, John William's composition of "Battle of the Heroes" does it for me!

 

As a bonus, my good friend @GraceFitbit reminded me how good the year 2005 was, and went with Beyoncé's Crazy In Love .

 

Above all else, there is the one song that gets me ready to work hard and reach for the improbable. It is one of the most popular songs in the history of the world, and universally one of the most motivating. I am speaking, of course of Ludwig Van Beethoven's "5th Symphony in C Minor."

 

Now that you have an idea of what songs get our blood ready to flow and our hearts ready to race, we have to know- what song motivates you?

Put your headphones on and dance away! Everytime he says "Uptown Funk"...kick really high.

There's a few out there, but the song that has the most impact, especially if I run uphill is Yogi - 'Burial' ft. Pusha T, especially when the beat drops and you hear "I came, I saw, I conquered, I balled" lol.

I'm mostly an Alternative music fan, but when it comes to songs to get me through a workout when I'm tired, I'll listen to anything with a fast tempo. What works depends on the day, but one of my favorites is "Pump up the jam" by Technotronic. I also like a lot of Gwen Stefani's songs from her first solo Cd, some 70's rock like "Ballroom Blitz" and "Free for All", almost any Ramones songs, and even some 50's Rock. As long as it keeps me moving at a decent pace and I don't hate it, I'll play it. I have a huge playlist for the gym and I find it helps to change it around often.

Well, recently any rap-rock song from Linkin Park or Gym Class Heroes helps me to  keep going during the workout time. Smiley Happy

I don't have anything in particular. I typically listen to heavy metal and classical. So as long as it's not jazz, or country, it'll do.

I'm not sure if any song would give me extra motivation.

Perhaps anything metallica? 

nickelback - next contestant? No, I don't have a stripper girlfriend, but that's such a motivating song.....

perhaps justin beiber? makes me want to run faster and snap his neck off so I don't have to hear that awful voice?

Would have to be 'Good Feeling' or 'My House' by Flo Rida. Anything on Nelly's Album called '5.0' is sick as well!
