Songs and mantras -- how do you pump yourself up?

I've been listening to the 7Sage podcast and really appreciated Henry's description of how he psyched himself up for PTs and tests. (Especially his description of looking himself in the mirror and calling himself a "logic predator.")

I've been loving Taylor Swift's "The Albatross" as a pump-up song. The chorus ("she is here to destroy you") is my "mantra," with the content of the verses neatly lining up with some logical fallacies/traps to avoid (in particular, the lines "a rose by any other name is a scandal" and "Wise men once said 'one bad seed kills the garden.'" But there are actually a bunch of phrases in there that are amusingly relevant to LSAT prep.)

This got me curious -- who else has a pump up song (or other media) that helps them get in the right mindset?

    I love that song! For me, I've been listening to Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten a lot these days. "Drench yourself in words unspoken" resonates with me because I am learning how to understand and study for the LSAT.

    I love listening to Watch Me Shine by Joanna Pacitti. It was the song made for the Legally Blonde movie, so listening to it channels my inner Elle Woods!!
