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?

The one song that motivates? I don't think I've found or actually tried to listen to a song when I didn't feel motivated for a workout, usually I do the workout.
The one that can help get me out there,
Jimmy Cliff - I Can See Clearly Now
But the one that really helps if I barely managed to get out there and not really feeling inspired to do it still, even though the beat is all wrong for running, is
Manfred Mann's - Runner
For biking, which I have no problem wanting to do, but makes it fun, again the beat is wrong for the cadence.
Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway

Three modern singers that I really like walking to are Macklemore, Pink and Rhianna. Otherwise most of my playlist is stuck around 1972...except the Andrews Sisters taking it waaaay back

Macklemore is one of my favorite musicians. I love the message in his music, I love his sense of humor.
"Thrift Shop" and "Same Love" are terrific. For a song to get you rocking definitely "Thrift Shop". If you saw me in person I look like a petite little grandmother...meanwhile I'm bopping down the street with my scary butt looking pup..."I'm gonna pop some tags..." Heeheehee no one would ever guess my playlist
Warning-for a sensitive audience the language is over the top

Oy that my first thought for "Feels So Good"-Chuck Mangione, time to go back with the other dinosaurs.

I have very diverse musical tastes. I actually get pumped up by Russian/Soviet marching songs. Both of the National Anthems are very inspiring sounding, regardless of political ideologies that one subscribes to.
Aside from that, my list would also go towards more metal/rock. I can't pick just one but my list would usually include songs like-
Cowboys from Hell: Pantera
Jump in the Fire- Metallica
Rock you like a Hurricane- Scorpions
Shot of Love- AC/DC
Hellraiser- Ozzy Osbourne
Children of the Grave- Black Sabbath
Breaking the Chains- Dokken
