What song gets you in the mood to race?

You can always go back to the Surf Punks "My Beach":cool::drown:

Not technically a song: Beginning of Act III of Die Valkyrie (Richard Wagner). This is also known as the "Ride of the Valkyries."

So, perhaps I watched Rocky too many times as a kid, but "Eye of the Tiger" can still get me motivated. How about "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider from the Vision Quest soundtrack? Pantera still gets it done for me. Soundgarden, "Loud Love" and "Outshined" Filter, "Nice Shot" Pretty much any Metallica before the Reload album Motley Crue's cover of "Helter Skelter"

I've heard some great songs here, going to put some of them on my MP3 for my runs... woo hoo! I thought of another good one - The instrumental song from the movie "Rudy"... in the last game where Rudy finally gets to play - it gives me goosebumps!

I am totally deaf in my right ear and only a small percentage of hearinginthe left. It doesn't matter what song is playing for me. It does always amaze how single minded th ehearing world is though. Can't you reve up yourself?

What no swim punks? Gone Daddy Gone Violent Femmes When She Begins Social Distortion these can get ya moving...

Can't you reve up yourself? Playing? I never use a music machine at a meet, but there is always something playing in my brain. Sometimes I hum and disturb some folks!

I love the Mortal Kombat theme though I'm pretty sure I'd hate the movies. I once had the entire side of a mix tape with a dj remix of the Mortal Kombat theme. I like to listen to the techno song from the opening scene to Blade. or anything from the Bosstones. but I once made the mistake of making jokes about the movie "Deliverance" at the start of an open water race. talked about being nervous about all the flying hands and elbows. anyways, I got the duelling banjo's tune stuck in my head for the entire 3km swim.

I thought about that one. Also, the William Tell Overture. Ah! The Lone Ranger .................:oldman: Maybe not "technically a song" but some of the most stirring music ever written! That and the Overture to The Marriage of Figaro. Both get me going! And don't forget several arias from "Carmen" (We need a bullfighting icon.)

"Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down
