So, what songs do you feel genuine motivate you?

For me, as the title suggests, it's 'Whip It' by Devo. Before I start work, I study my targets to this song, and wherever I'm lacking, the line 'when a problem comes along, YOU MUST WHIP IT' inspires me....

So Dakka what about you?

P.S. Emo 'Kill Yourself' type bollocks doesn't count. We're all better than such wussy ways out of not being good at our jobs....

If you've seen the movie Kick Ass, you will know of The Dickies' cover of "Banana Splits". That song gets me motivated, haha and I have no idea why.

This is my 'go face the cold reptilian bastards who are about to rip 50 shades of gak out of you about your report because they watched dragon's den and think they're all duncan banatyne'... Helps me concentrate, helps me read and reread and rereread my data, play out in my head the various weak spots they will try to attack from and gain the background info ready to retaliate when they do.

It's also my favourite track to row to. I do like all the Prodigy tunes in general though, for energy and focus.

Why would I be pumped-up that Bowie has the same colour room as me?

(sigh)

Fine, fine - is THIS more to your liking, Mr. Fussy-pants?

When I need to get pumped up to do something, I listen to various songs. Oddly enough, I can get pumped just listening to a womans voice for some reason, though goofy songs also will do it for me. I'll just link some awesome songs.

Oh, just remembered! Genesis!

I know I'll probably get slated for this, but I just LOVE them. They aren't even a 'guilty pleasure' - I defend them to the hilt!
