Let’s get pumped to kick some ass! With youtube links, please. I’ll start: 1. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf45I1ZI__w) 1. Bound for Glory by Angry Anderson [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9ZI8q-2YhLM/hqdefault.jpg "Angry Anderson - Bound For Glory") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZI8q-2YhLM) ---

> [@Manduck](#): > > Stooges, [Shake Appeal](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmzwDdg184U) I’m sorry, but I do not believe we can include this song in the Definitive Collection. It appears to simply be a punk rock song without any overt and explicit gettin’ pumped elements. And it’s not cheesy in the least (a song designed to get you pumped that is 100% not cheesy is extremely difficult and may not actually exist in the wild). Please feel free to make another submission. ---

But … but … that riff … Okay, how about Nashville Pussy, [I’m The Man](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9L4Er4SkJI&feature=search)? (All I could find was a shitty VHS transfer of a live performance with two songs on it - skip ahead to 2:40) ---

How about Heather Alexander [March of Clambreadth](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCrnF844_ww)? After hearing that song all I want do is kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I am all out of bubblegum. ---

“Flirtin’ with Disaster” by Molly Hatchet. Yes, it’s the usual “being on the road is hard song,” but, boy, it can get you going if you like the whole southern rock genre. If you don’t, there’s always “Highway to Hell.” ---
