What song gets you amped?

I imagine it means "to be cheesy in excess."
Can anyone tell me who does that song, "Everything" that's on the rock stations lately? I don't even know if that's the correct song title, but I could sing it for you (badly, by the way, very badly).

Big Machine - Goo Goo Dolls

I'm going to out myself as a dork here...

Everytime We Touch, by Cascada.

Also, the main theme to Pirates of the Caribbean. I like to crank that up when I drive.

Down and Out -- Genesis, first song from And Then There Were Three

Also, I try every morning to listen to Boston's self-titled LP, from 1976, the first song of which is my all-time favorite Boston song. The song is More Than A Feeling, and it just wakes me up like little else can.

Love that album.

What are some more of the lyrics besides "Everything"?

The end goes
"Never close your eyes
And open up your mind
and baby you can have everything, everything"

Closer to Free - Bo Deans

Smartbomb by BT

I get my verve on with BELA LUGOSI'S DEAD by BAUHAUS. Either that or EVERY DAY IS HALLOWEEN by MINISTRY. They are my signature songs. (-;

Another good one I'm listening to right now is Hotel California by the Eagles. Also, the very last song on the Hotel California album, The Last Resort, is very inspiring. It's one of the main reasons I listen to this LP.

I'm probably a terrible mother, but me 'n' my boyz love rockin' out to the Ramones. Their fave is "I Want to be Sedated." Sounds pretty funny coming out of the ole minivan - we've had some strange looks.
REM's "It's the End of the World as we know it" floats their boat, too. It's really funny hearing a six year old trying to belt out all those words.

I love both of those!

all children should be exposed to the Ramones!

Rock N Roll's Gonna Save the World by Y & T

I love both of those too, Dolores.

And, Trish...my kids were subjected to the Ramones at an early age. (-;

Whippin Post is another one that gets me going.

Misty Mountain Hop has a special place in my heart (right along with this one)

I said it earlier in the HOL...but Son of a Preacher Man really gets me going. It's empowering.

Four Non-blondes singing What's Up (What's going on)

Good one!. Ever heard Joan Osbourne's cover? Man, that woman can belt out a song.

Well, if that's the case, I'm offended. My songs are not cheesy in the least. They are songs that are pretty damned cool and that's why they get me amped.

I'm not a huge Eagles fan, but I love the version of Hotel California that the Gypsie Kings did. In spanish with spanish guitar. Mondo-cool.

Candyfloss lyrics

I'm the boy that looks excited
I'm the boy thats gonna fall apart
Candyfloss, I lie to myself
I'm the boy that eats his heart out

I know I should be more careful
I know I should watch where Ive been
Candyfloss and shes a safecracker
She kissed me first and then broke in

We slip and slide on the stay-together landmine
I make my mind up to never be myself
And every time I fake around
I live my life for someone else

Oh-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa-whoa

She's in the kitchen with bitter diamond drunks
(She's in the way)
I'm on the sofa hoping she leaves that punk cause
(I'm in the way)

I'm the boy with the poetry power
I'm the boy, smells like flowers
Every time I dick around
I live my life like I wasnt invited

Oh-whoa-whoa

She's in the way
I'm in the way

I'm the boy that looks excited
I'm the boy thats gonna fall apart
Candyfloss, she kissed me first
And I'm the boy, don't get me started

I know I should be more careful
I know I should watch where Ive been
Candyfloss, shes a safecracker
She kissed me first, then broke in

Oh-whoa-whoa

Have a rocking weekend!

I really cannot stand any member of the Osbourne family. They're drugged up, alcoholic, selfish ingrates who don't deserve to appear on my telly. Especially that bloody wife. She had an affair with a married man (a sin for which she rips into other women today) who regularly committed grave acts of violence against her and justifies it all by saying, "I love him!" Well that's okay then, love, isn't it?

Huh. That's not love. That's addiction. Seems like a family trait.

Okay, III - you can rip on me now. I just can't believe those goobers are role models today.
