What is a song that instantly energizes you?

I feel I should answer that with something relating to Star Trek, but that’s the wrong kind of ‘energize’ (or ‘energise’, as I would spell it).

Although ‘Another Girl, Another Planet’ does sound like it could be about Captain Kirk.

I’ve heard it described as Peter Perret’s love song to heroin, but also seen a more recent interview where he said it wasn’t about that.

Anyway, if you want to get me on the dancefloor, this one’s chugging intro is always a good bet.

‘Space travel’s in my blood,’ after all.

The prompt was 'What song do you wish you had written?' So many, of course, especially since I used to play guitar very badly and sing in bands, and I have written a few songs.

But for some reason, the one that popped into my mind was 'If I Can't Change Your Mind' by Sugar. Bob Mould's work after Hüsker Dü was varied, but this track off Sugar's first album is just glorious.
