You forgot Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" theme song from the film Rocky III. That song where ever its played, has this "feel", " aura", and visceral intensity to it that Ive seen seemingly mild-mannered men and women at bowling alleys, gyms, playing pickup basketball, they turn into almost superhuman, unstoppable maniacs hearing the song.

It's one of those songs where if you're boxing someone, you can be bloody, tired, your body is worn-down, that song pops in your head, it's like a placebo adrenaline shot that makes you get off the mat, and fight like a complete, uncontrollable, vicious animal. You will make the unfortunate souls who forked with you realize that was the worst decision of their respective lives.
