Got any songs that really pipe you up when you're running/cycling/driving/racing etc? Post them here.
I'm working on a playlist for running, and I've got to say that Midnight Runner is an amazing running song. It has a tempo that perfectly matches my footfalls, and 4:50 makes, similtaneously, me sprint extremely hard, the hair on the back on the back of my neck stand up, and for me to need to change my underwear when I get home.
Anyway, if you have any good running songs you think I should add to my playlist, speak up.

Quick pass through my music, limiting choices to one song per artist:
Eminem - Run Rabbit Run (music video is inexplicably slow-paced for the song; ignore it)
Fort Minor - Be Somebody (much of the lyrics is pretty mindless, but good for setting a rhythm for a workout)
Genitorturers - Lecher Bitch (choruses like this are especially good for intense workouts)
Guano Apes - Open Your Eyes (this video chosen specifically... gotta love Team Ryouko)
Katatonia - Increase (might just be me)
Marilyn Manson - This is the New Shit (almost completely mindless, but high-energy; ignore the music video)
OOMPH! - Menschsein (YouTube link is pretty low quality)
Opiate for the Masses - 21st Century Timebomb
Rammstein - Ich Will (awesome music video, incidentally)
Rob Zombie - Feel So Numb (mindless)
Thy Catafalque - Az Ősanya Szól Ivadékaihoz (after it picks up ~1:30, anyway; zoning out with this droning in the background has helped me work through fatigue)
Unreal Tournament 2004 Soundtrack - Onslaught 08 (maybe good for running? i don't do a lot of running)

Anna Molly by Incubus, above all others. So damn catchy. I'm pretty much guaranteed to listen to it at least once on a race day.

Boredoms - Super Going
Drive Like Jehu - Here Come The Rome Plows (This is of pretty fantastic quality for a YouTube video.)
Fucked Up - Crooked Head
Mogwai - Auto Rock (The few times I actually got out to run, I was listening to this.)
UniverseZero just made me realize that my music taste for the preceding years went from a lot of fucking music with crescendos, to a short stint of music gushing with climax and power, then slowly sliding out of that and declining into music with decrescendos and heavy breathing.
/me takes a drag and listens to Bon Iver.

Just hack the album mirrored by battles on. I do it when cycling and it turns me into a crazed pedal maniac.

Don't Stop Me Now, by Queen.
Great to listen to if you're driving to your ex-girlfriend's wedding when you realize you love her, and to stop her from throwing her life away to the more attractive guy with a shallow personality.
Oh, and any song from David Lee Roth-era Van Halen.

"I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys.
EDIT: I agree with Torex even though I don't like Van Halen too much. Definitely pump-up music. ("Jump," "Eruption," "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" etc.)

I browsed through the entire topic and couldn't find "Eye Of The Tiger". Shame on us.
