Hip Adrenaline Songs
#16

Gotta go with Thugs!!!

Although the issue is subjective; I get sick of a CD from time to time and put on one I haven't heard in awhile and that does it too.

Thugs has always worked though.

Others?

Putting Down
50 Mission
Looking For A Place
Don't Wake Daddy
3 Pistols
Save The Planet
All Tore Up
Gus

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM??????????

Daredevil!!!!

That's way too many, but what the hell.

Enjoy.

Can't believed nobody's mentioned FREAK TURBULENCE! That's a killer song for amping up the blood...

And any live version of 50 Mission Cap makes it too darn easy to slip well over the speed limit while driving!

Yep, that's the first one I thought of, too. Bobby's outtro lead is like an aural amphetamine.

Cordelia is also right up there...the chorus segueing into the second verse gets me all jacked up:

I'm not Cordelia - I will not be there......I'll not be there....not be there....
{Baaaah-da, Baaaaah-DA-DA-DUM ["YEAH!"]

How could I forget Cordelia? What a great tune for getting the blood going! Little Bones also just makes you want to Gord out with a little adlib intro (really high, "little bones, liiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllll bones). From DFN, Daredevil, Nautical, and IOD all REALLY get me going.

The best part about this thread is there's no wrong answer. Yes to Freak Turbulence (nothing to worry about).

"It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken" always gets my blood pumping.

I'll listen to Good Life, Oh Honey, and The Rules to get pumped up for an evening of riot and mayhem.

Heh. Don't forget As I Wind Down the Pines. Nothing gets the heart hammering more than that!

I may be currently experiencing a major brain fart, but what's Oh Honey? Do you mean Wild Mountain Honey? If so, then I'd have to argue that WMH is, in fact, a bona fide adrenaline-pumping shredder. That cut is heavier than lead. The fury of its ultra-distorted bridge is simply the shit, IMO.

Oh Honey appears on the "Men With Brooms" soundtrack. It's a beautiful song, and I'd glady run up the steps to the Philly Art Gallery with it playing in the background.

Ahh. That would explaint it, since I never bothered to score a copy of that soundtrack. Aside from this Oh Honey track, how does it rate?

As a collection of Can-Rock, it's actually pretty good. Oh Honey and Throwing Off Glass are complimented nicely by really great rockers from Tom Wilson, The New Pornographers and Our Lady Peace.

The star of the film, Paul Gross, actually wrote the theme, and it damn near steals the album... it's haunting.

Plus, it introduced me to Kathleen Edwards, so I'm kinda partial to it.

Jesus, I completely forgot about the Men With Brooms songs for my site.

I've never even heard Oh Honey before!! :? :oops:

In addition to Throwing Off Glass and Oh, Honey, the soundtrack has Sarah Harmer singing Silver Road, backed by the Hip. So you get to hear GD singing backup vocals.

So Silver Road almost counts as a Hip song. That's definitely my hockey fight song.

Sarah Harmer also put Silver Road on her newish CD, but its a different (Hip-less) version.
