What's your favorite GD pump-up song?
Forums:
hey hey Zoners, I am back in Portland and for the next few months am employed by my old bureau at the City of Portland, but focusing only on the Portland Clean Energy Fund. The good thing is that I am 100% remote and am still job hunting in NoCal.
In my first team meeting today, I was overjoyed to learn that they have a "pump-up" playlist on YouTube (like those walk-on songs baseball players have).
Their list is pretty interesting.... now I get to add my own... looking for recommendations for GD pump-up songs, bring it!
Which GD songs make you brave to face the world (or go to bat) when you don't want to?

Yes I have also been digging Phish jams at work, there are some "ambient" jam compilations on YouTube that are really great listening, and nobody who walks by even guesses it's Phish, which is just fine with me...
What's that URL, Stoner?

Oh, and for pump-up songs, I
Oh, and for pump-up songs, I would go with Not Fade Away, Lovelight, Shakedown Street, Midnight Hour... Even the studio version of Touch of Grey is a pretty upbeat groove.
Maybe stay away from Schoolgirl, in today's professional/cultural climate...

Thanks for these good ideas!
Thanks for these good ideas! Shakedown -- yes, that's a great pump-up song -- some SF Giant player should use that.
I also like Standing on the Moon (the verse about San Francisco always gets me) and The Wheel.
PortlandKen -- I'm actually in Portland... but if anyone needs a housesitter in the Bay Area (or Hawaii ;), hit me up -- this temp contract allows me to work from anywhere!
Was thinking of returning for that Zero Fillmore show but with Omicronic that probably isn't a good idea, right? ... so send me your best dates for a micro-brew meetup in Portland... need to get out of the house.
I have some stuff in storage with friends in Occidental, just got to win a Cali job -- nothing yet.

Another good one, thanks! Love Hey Pocky Way.
Run for the Roses also makes me prance around like a nut and sing with confidence, though out of tune, LOL.
Also going to include Bob Marley's Jammin, as that's a great walk-out song.

Love these additions -- The 11 and Bertha are an energizing pair.
Wngfan I'm envious of your weekday at Mt Hood Meadows. Dreaming of skiing again but other priorities always get in the way.
If you ever see 2 crazy old boarders in matching acid yellow jumpsuits, they are good buddies of mine -- Milo and Tigger.
I snuck out for a hot springs / wrap / sauna session up at Carson the other day, though! Snowshoeing is next up.
