Kickstart My Heart - Mötley Crüe

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmXWkMlKFkI]


This is a great eighties hair-metal tune. It's really got some awesome drive behind it. I first heard the song while playing Brutal Legend (a video game with a very cool soundtrack). It's another one of those songs I like to listen to when I'm driving, but one that also tends to push me a little over the posted limit. It doesn't have quite the same drive as "Shoot to Thrill", though.


The song was released on the band's 1989 album, Dr. Feelgood. It was nominated for a Grammy Award that year, and since then, it's been used in several different movies and other media. I mentioned its appearance in a video game above, but it was also used in Shoot 'em up and Cars. It brings to mind a very particular feeling, one that many songs can't capture.
