Your most inspiring/uplifting anthem

A song which takes an uzi to those Monday morning blues and blows them into oblivion; a song which makes you want to strip naked, cover yourself in jam and run through a wasp's nest; a song which makes you feel fantastic and frigging invincible - I think we all have one, or several.

So what's yours?

Mine at the moment are:

I like that as it was my son's first cd he bought and listened to endlessly. Happy days listening to him singing with his headphones in on car journeys

 

We need a nightclub for over 35's.

 

That'll be the day Buddy Holly. I went to see him in London and did not come back home for around three years afterwards.Played guitar for a living in those days.

 

Song and lyrics are at this site.

This one always gets me going.

The oxford girl by the oyster band. Or, for something a bit less mellow, anything by dropkick murphys or my chemical romance, alkaline trio or jimmy eat world.

 

Cheese metal's not exactly hip but I can't help but find this very empowering

Monday morning blues? You can't go wrong with a bit of Bob Marley!

If its the song that gets me to man up and get on with life, it has to be Bon Jovi's - It's my Life.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-oL8PzM_XE&feature=search"]YouTube- Bon Jovi - Its My Life (acoustic version)[/ame]

I usually play this acoustic version at camp fires as well (which in my line of work is once if not twice a week!)

 

*mumbles* hearts on fire xD

I joke. In all seriousness, this song pumps me up every time I hear it to the nth degree.

(Ignore the crappy Final Fantasy video clips, the song's all that matters)
