I am trying to create a theme song list. The quest is this: somewhere in the lyrics it must say “rock me”. So far I have: Old Crow Medicine Show, Wagon Wheel [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1gX1EP6mG-E/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEmCOADEOgC8quKqQMa8AEB-AGGBYAC4AOKAgwIABABGHIgXCg-MA8=&rs=AOn4CLBeu9sFH0gaV-J9OKZmAo7Wy3jQ0g "Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel [Official Music Video]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gX1EP6mG-E) Tracy Chapman, Give Me One Reason [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/y2kEx5BLoC4/hqdefault.jpg "Tracy Chapman - Give me one reason") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2kEx5BLoC4) Sister Rosetta Tharp, Rock Me [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1GpXwLFB8w/hqdefault.jpg "Rock Me - Sister Rosetta Tharpe with Albert Ammons on piano") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1GpXwLFB8w) Falco, Rock Me Amadeus [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1GpXwLFB8w/hqdefault.jpg "Rock Me - Sister Rosetta Tharpe with Albert Ammons on piano") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1GpXwLFB8w) The song only has to say the words rock me, it does not have to be the overwhelming theme. Thanks for your help. ---

I was going to mention the Scorpions, but that’s “rock _you_.” However, I now feel I must share this absolutely bizarre [video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJVJ140CdHQ). What really gets me is the way most of the crowd just sort of sits there. Not shocked into stillness; more sedated by Soma. ---
