[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRrU-tG9uZwThis is a song that has accompanying me for the last 25 years or so. I loved it when it came out and taped it with my cassette recorder (remember those?) Later I bought the record. At one point I saw The Breakfast Club. Much, much later I took care the song was played at my wedding party.
With this song, I don’t much regard the lyrics (unusual for me) but concentrate on the determined, upbeat music. This is a song I hum when I am about to engage on something challenging, something I face with power and determination.
Are there songs that have accompanied you for a long time?

Quite intriguing points you’ve remarked, appreciate it for putting up.
“I Want To Know Love Is” by Foreigner is still on my iPod. Not that I hum it, but when every it comes on I have to belt out the words with the singer.
Oh my yes. And they’re all from around the same era as yours.
