Do you have theme song that motivates you?

Right now I have 3 songs that keep me going:

1. Pieces of me by Ledisi
2. Just the way you are by Bruno Mars
3. Nothin on you by B.o.B with Bruno Mars

When I hear them I smile and think I GOT THIS!

    I don't have a particular theme song, more like a them group - They Might Be Giants. Their quirky, cerebral, corny and all-over-the-map musical style suits me to a T. I often listen to them while stretching, walking or working out.

    I don't have a theme song as such, but one of the spinning instructors in my Gym, that does the class at 7am, looks just like iceman from Top Gun, every time I see him there, I'm huming the theme tune to top gun for the morning. Sets me in for going in the gym in that weird way.

    My #1 motivational song is Party Hard by Andrew W.K. It's more than motivational for me...when I'm working out, it just makes me want to work harder.

    Working out is party.

    My theme song is "comeback" by Redlight King. I listen to it when I'm ready to quit. So far it has given me strength.

    Ah come on...no theme from "Rocky"?

    Theme from "Rocky" - "Gonna Fly Now" by Bill Conti
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR6FXpaECY8

    and

    Theme from "Darkest Hour" - "The Uprising" by Pilot Hill
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vZyxkJuIHs

    and this isn't really a theme song, but I love this "Come Back Untouchable" commercial to watch when I need a kickstart...

    I've been really into female KPOP groups lately, like Brown Eyed Girls.

    And SNSD

    It's really high energy girl power music.

    Anything Can Happen - Ellie Goulding
    It's not an "official" theme song, but it is in a lot of shows and movies, just kind of quirky and true

    But only if you want to feel like you're in an 80's montage.

    80's montage is how I get motivated!!!

    For some reason, I like 'Some like it hot' by The Power Station. It reminds me of an 80's montage of Venice Beach with lots shots of 80's women in 80's bikinis. I like to think that I'm working out to eventually join them.

    Edit: I should also note, on my workout playlist I have a lot of film scores that make me feel EPIC (eg: Indianna Jones, Star Wars...a lot of John Williams)

    Depends on the type of workout. Disturbed - Indestrictuble, Manowar - Warriors of the World United, and Megadeth - Crush 'Em are all staples though.

    "It's On" by Superchick-- the lyrics "Don't feel like it today? Just show up anyway" are the only thing that gets me out of bed on time to work out most mornings!
    "One Step at a Time" by Jordin Sparks... I know the song is about fame, but it really translates for me. "Now you're feeling more and more frustrated, and you're getting all kind of impatient..." yeah, Jordin. You get me.

    Did not know it before... great song man! :smokin:
    Just added it to my playlist!

    One of my all time favorite motivational songs is Heart of Steel from Manowar...

    cheesy I know, but this lyrics carried me forward more than once in my life :ohwell:

    Stand and fight
    Live by your heart
    Always one more try
    I'm not afraid to die
    Stand and fight
    Say what you feel
    Born with a heart of steel
