Wanted: Ultimate pump-up playlist

Hi friends,

So from now til next Thursday (as in October 11) will probably be the most work-laden 1.5 weeks of my 17-year school career. Wish me luck. In order for me to survive I'll actually need some help from you all. As some of you have noticed, my current myspace song, "Go For It" by Hot Sundae (from Saved By the Bell), is the best song ever. It has the amazing power to psyche me up and make me laugh all at the same time. I need to compile a playlist of songs in this vein. It's the only way that me or any one else in my program will survive. I've received some good suggestions so far:
"Don't feel like dancin'" by the Scissor Sisters
"The Champions" by Queen - I can actually think of some other good Queen suggestions
"A little bit of heart and soul" by T Pau

You get the picture. I'm not looking for "great music" as in talent, or insightful lyrics, or complex chord progressions, etc. (If it happens to be amazing music, like Queen, that's fine). But what I really need is high energy and a little bit of ridiculousness. And, as I've realized that any song that's even the slightest bit sad makes me instantly introspective and detached, we've got to avoid those. Usually I only like the sad songs but I'm realizing they render me entirely useless.

Ok, so that's your assignment. Now back to mine...my pile of assignments that is. If you're reading this I love you.

hmmmmm.... whenever i want a can-do attitude and a positive song, i listen to a song called "you know how i do" by Taking Back Sunday.

whenever i want to motivate myself and not be lazy, i listen to a song called "the longer i lay here" by Pedro the Lion cause the guy the song is admiring is totally not lazy.

i'll email these songs to you.

unrelated: do you know that your blog does not allow anonymous comments? that means only people like me with blogger.com accounts can list things like their favorite songs. if you want it like that, it's cool. i just wanted you to make sure that you are aware of it. you can change this if you want.

much love, my Kristin, and best of luck.
