IslandBillsFan Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Eye of the Tiger rocks more. Especially since it will be remembered alongside Rocky which always pumps people up. However, when I worked in a bar at last call my manager would always play The Final Countdown. For that reason, I will always have a special place for it in my heart.

Nextmanup Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Agree the 2 songs referenced in the OP are horrible. Just thinking about those songs requires me to cleanse my musical palate. For this type of genre, I recommend this: Sie is der hellste Stern von allen! 1
Rico Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Neither, but Final Countdown reminds me of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, a team I truly loathed.... so I will say Tiger.

Doc Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 The Final Countdown would be considered a great song if it weren't sung by glam metal posers like Europe. John Norum is actually an excellent guitarist.
Gray Beard Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 When my daughter was living in the college dorm, the guy in the room next to hers would play Eye of the Tiger all day and at a loud volume. He did this for the entire semester that she lived next to him. People in the dorm politely asked him to turn it down, and he just kept doing it. Needless to say, my daughter hates that song. 1

Bulls on Parade, along with plenty of others would be a fine choice. I'll even add to it some Audioslave ones...Gasoline anyone? I can get pumped by Zack or Chris, no problem.

bdutton Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Mi favorite get pumped/inspirational song:
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 I'm sure there are better pump you up songs then the OP's (no offense) choice(s) but this was the first one that popped in my head.

I had a neighbor in college who played DiVinyls "I Touch Myself" for about 13 straight hours on a loop - which amounts to some 200 times in a row. I haven't even listened to any songs I like two hundred times. I didn't know you could listen to a tape 200 times without wearing it out. But damn it, she did. And I'm not going to say it's the root cause of my mental illness...but damn it, I can't prove it's not. 1 2
