I’ve compiled this list, of what appears to be the largest list of its kind anywhere on the Internet, from my own personal collection of songs and also that of other song lists around the Internet. I’ve tested each and every song for motivational-itus (a word), and as such all 58 have my personal “Get off ya ass and be amazing” approval. They will inspire, motivate and ass kick like no other playlist. Guaranteed.

If any of these videos get removed, as YouTube videos often do, please contact me so I can fix them. I don’t bite. Promise.
The List (Click to open the song). Don’t worry, you won’t leave my site when you click these links. They’re on seperate pages because I couldn’t put 58 YouTube videos on one page without crashing the Internets.

Music is key sometimes. Problem with me is that I don’t find myself motivated by the same old songs time and again. After a while I lose interest in all but my absolute favorites. I’m a new music addict.
Michael Henreckson’s last blog post..Solve PC Problems and Lots of Others By Making a Fresh Start
Hey Michael,
Thanks for the comment.
I’m completely the same. Most songs get boring after a while. I have maybe 5-10 songs that never seem to get boring. And most of those are on this list.
House of Pain- Jump Around
Hummm. I suddenly feel like jumping.
Thanks for the suggestion, David.
Savage Garden?? Celine Dion?
going to have to shoot you Jamie, otherwise, I own most of the songs in that list, have tried to copy your little set list there, good job!
But yeah. I think I deserve to be shot.
Good to hear from ya mate! How ya doing?
Thank you for “The Prayer”. This one is my favorite. Reminds me to my wedding
…
Glad the list is keeping you entertained, Susan.
Yay for song lists! I love compiling song lists as well. It’s one of my nerdy habits. My fave song on your list is The Prayer by Anderea & Celine. I think I actually listen to it a dozen times a day. It’s just that when they sing “let this be your prayer, just like every child” my heart swells. Every. Single. Time.
Let the sentiment and nostalgia begin.
It’s amazing how music can affect the psyche like it does. Sports teams use it to amp up their players and fans, dentists use it to calm the nerves, etc.
Your list isn’t necessarily “my” type of music, but that’s the beauty of it. We are all affected in different ways by the same songs.

My fav, especially if I’m working in the server room alone or when I am at my desk working alone is “The Chase” by Giorgio Moroder. Nothing gets my pulse pumping like this tune.

Other motivational songs I like are Grateful Dead’s “Touch of Grey”, Jodi Mecina’s “Bring on the Rain”, and Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing”
Hey Christine,
Thanks for the comment.
I can’t say I’ve ever listened to those songs (at least, I don’t think I have).
I’ll have a listen today though. Thanks!
