On second thought, ELO is for crawling out of a bad mood. For hype, I like New Attitude by Patti LaBelle. I’m old.

My college hype song, “In Between Days” by The Cure. My middle-aged choice, “Blankest Year,” by Nada Surf. 🙂

That show was so dang good that I'm gonna write about Bruce twice. I love that we have this in common and 100% Rosalita is a total vibe that you can carry around all day!

I agree that “Rosalita” is an excellent choice. My hype song? “Lust for Life” by Iggy Pop.

For me. Rosalita is the evil opposite of a hype up song, unless you are getting hyped up to change the channel, turn on a different sing, or turn the music off entirely. My antipathy stems from a college experience, several drunken college women playing the song on repeat at a party, while jumping in the air at strategic moments. I just wanted to go to sleep, and was not interested in jumping a little higher, or for that matter jumping at all.

I would go with Hang on To Yourself - Bowie. Other suggestions in previous comments are also fine choices.

This story is not true because you didn't go to college with me and Jocelyn.
