What is a song that instantly energizes you?

Listen, from the fade in of the organ to the single note fuzzed out guitar riff to the literal Best Drum Intro of All Time™ (courtesy of Mr. Grohl in his actual best recorded appearance on drums—and HE WAS IN NIRVANA, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!) to Mark Lanegan delivering his most Waits-ean wail… if this song doesn’t instantly fill you with the white hot burning energy of 100 billion suns, you are likely in ACTUAL FACT dead—in which case this song is, in fact, completely and explicitly FOR YOU.

Come on, let's go driving Come on, let's take a little ride That's the study of dying How to do it right
