OMG! I have no idea how I forgot this song: **[Interstellar Overdrive!!!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2wud_RqEaM)** The first two minutes get me so pumped up! The middle is less energetic due to some of crazy noises Floyd puts in, but then it starts to really pick up again in the last three-ish minutes. Nice drum roll to begin the decline. That opening guitar though… _swoon_ Nothing really compares to this song’s ability to get me pumped up, but I remembered **[Livin’ La Vida Loca](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmwzEhwScug)** and **[La Macarena](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv5zKd1rqcM)**. Say what you want about the above two songs, but they’re catchy as fuck, whether or not you want to admit it. On the other hand, do not under any circumstances bad mouth Interstellar Overdrive or I’ll put these bees to use. Also, that Satriani guy can really jam too. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Covered\_In\_Bees!;11231645 As a side note, does anyone know any other Billy Idol songs that have the same general sound as the ones listed here? I have only heard these two and love them. Okay, your turn. 🆒[/QUOTE] \*Blue Highway \*is a really good Billy Idol jamming song. ---

Some thus far unmentioned fav. jams of mine: [Dissolution](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f52hgmPAbw&feature=related) by Ozric Tentacles. [New Orleans Is Sinking](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJRA-mU33z4) by Tragically Hip [Life During Wartime](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzORu1dqEE0) by Talking Heads (Hell, the entire “Stop Making Sense” concert is jamming.) [Soul Sacrifice](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4TwOclvdNg) by Santana [the Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrTS7b028A8) by Jefferson Airplane and [Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yRdDnrB5kM) by Jerry Lee Lewis. Also, “Not Fade Away/Goin’ Down the Road Feelin’ Bad” by the Grateful Dead (for which I couldn’t find a decent video just now.) ---

> [@Tengu](#): > > Wow, that’s…uh…bouncy. :eek: Ya know, I’m not sure I’d actually have jammed to that song if that video wasn’t leading the way in it’s accompanying “dance”. 😛 Just listened to [**Tits On the Radio**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u1HUlIE69c) despite someone not providing a link. I must say, I think I’m going to have to investigae these Scissor Sisters further. They’re 2-for-2. An instrumental of Tits On the Radio would rock. **[Free Speech For the Dumb](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PDBg7wYCQI)** thankfully doesn’t have a whole lot of vocals, because damn those instruments got me moving! Everyone else: Keep 'em coming. The weekend is upon us and we (Dopers/Lurkers) need some stuff to rock to! **EDIT** : You guys can post techno and dance songs also ya know. Like **[Everybody’s Free](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YgAw1G-4zY)** and the few others I’ve also posted. ---
