Following from our discussions on how to save the servicemen who are stuck in Iran - what motivates you?

Is there a song? Or a memory?

Personally, whenever I get on the treadmill, I always try and make sure that the first song in my ears is the theme to Police Squad. Don't know why, but it does the job!

As discussed in said discussion about the service men in Iran.

Holding out for a hero always does it for me, but when it's those slower situations that require more skill and dexterity, like when playing darts or golf, it's always charriots of fire going in my head.... the opening few bars.

Mrs Topher has a set list of four songs she listens to before playing table tennis - they are:

Heather Small - Proud
Eminem - Lose Yourself
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
The Beatles - Let It Be

She listens to D-Ream - Things Can Only Get Better if she loses.

Hahaha is Mrs Topher like some sort of ping pong master, does she enter the leisure centre hall in a dressing gown with the hood up, deep in thought whilst the music blares through the head phones.

Thats an odd set of songs to listen to Mr Topher* - Eye of the Tiger i get - but Eminem?

Ha I guess that's what Bag of Balls was referring to above... I think it's quite motivational actually.

Actually, with Lose Yourself, i can see how that would be motivational. No other Eminem track though.

I have a playlist on my iPod with just one song, that I always put on as i'm driving onto the motorway - Highway to the Dangerzone from Top Gun, you should try it, it really pumps the heart!

[Ballbag]

Baber's Adagio for Strings but the remix version by William Orbit. Works for any situation really.

Shame on you...... the remix ruined one of the best songs that ever did live.
One of best uses of classical music is the scene in Platoon..... makes me cry like a baby every time.

Mmmm, maybe:

"You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime"

I have a playlist on my iPod with just one song, that I always put on as i'm driving onto the motorway - Highway to the Dangerzone from Top Gun, you should try it, it really pumps the heart!

Its a class song. As is the that other cracking number by Kenny Loggins. The name of it escapes me right now though...

I find dangermouse theme tune helps me.....

"HE'S THE ACE
HE'S AMAZING
HE'S THE STRONGEST, HE'S THE QUICKEST, HE'S THE BEST"

In the heart of Transylvan-ia,
In the Vampire Hall of Fame-yeah,
There's not a vampire zanier than DUCKULA.
He won't bite beast or man,
'Cos he's a vegetari-an,
And things never run to plan for DUCKULA.
If you're looking for some fun,
You can always count upon,
The wild and wacky one they call DUCKULA
(Count Duckula - he he he heeh!)

Oh you've reminded me of Captain Planet

"Captain Planet
He's our hero
Gonna take pollution
down to zero"

"Thundercats da da da!

Thundercats are on the move,
Thundercats are loose,
Feel the magic, hear the Roar,
Thundercats are loose,

Thunder, thunder, thunder, Thundercats!"
