Is there a song that always pumps you up when you need energy?

B Natural answer

Yes. I have one song that never fails me, and it's 'Eye of the Tiger.' If I'm sleepy before work or before the gym, I play it in the car, especially when I need to wake up fast and stop feeling half asleep. The steady rhythm really gets me moving, and I always wait for the part right around the chorus because that part feels strongest. After a minute or two, I usually start tapping along on the steering wheel or my desk. It sounds simple, but it works every time.
