What are some songs that just get you hyped up…and ready to fight…or ready to run 3 miles? The Fox Sports Football theme is one for me. So is Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. Rollin by Limp Bizkit is yet another one. How about you all? ---

This makes me think of the new Monday Night Football commercials. “YOU! Dance with me!” Funny stuff. 🙂 Personally, I pick “Staring at the Sun” (that’s probably not the real title) by Offspring, and the Mortal Kombat theme played at wall-vibrating volumes. Hell, if I’m in the right mood, I even enjoy The Touch, from the Transformers movie… ---

Anything by Diesel Boy, the Crtoch Rockets or the Vandals gets me in the mood to box. I used to box, and it was good jump-rope music, so now whenever I hear it I associate it with boxing. punk snot dead, broccoli! ---

Sorry to post again but I just thought of more. “Savannah” by ZAO “New Noise” by Refused “(sic)” by Slipknot (I know it’s neo-metal, but still good) By the way, whoever chose the AFI and Boysetsfire songs has good taste in music. ---

Mine is the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky. In the alternative, Ode to Joy by Beethoven works too 🙂 Robin [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hype-songs/44597.md?page=2)
