If you were on death's door, what song would make you fight to stay alive?

    Like you were in some accident and losing blood, the rescuers are doing their best to stem the bleeding but you're starting to feel weak. What song, if blasted from a big womping system would give you the motivation to stay awake and stay alive?

    No points for the Bee Gees. :P

    For me it's probably some Prodigy or some heavy metal with lots of heavy guitar and a banging kick drum.

    Pfff, a number of songs I think:

    Helium Vola-Chumemin

    The piano guys- Fight song

    John Farnham- You're the voice

    Zayde Wolf- Heroes

    Tarkan- Olurum Sana

    Corvus Corax- Sverker

    There are probably a host of other songs, but these are the ones that come to mind.

    One of my favourite pieces of music. I adore Rieu's uptempo version.
    I'd probably wake up singing along like the guy at 1.39!

    Maybe not a song, but a video, Shakira, the Colombian girl, the time she was in the mud. As for a song, there are a few candidates, but maybe the one I love, by David Grey, as it is actually about a soldier in his dying moments, and relates well to the question.

    This is always a great song on a Friday evening leaving work and getting geared up for the weekend, so I think it would be a perfect tune to give me the fight to live for more weekends.

    I can't hear that song without thinking of the Ricky Gervais/David Brent version.

    I got 10 seconds in to that, if someone played that while I was on my deathbed I'd plug myself out.

    :D

    It's moody but gradually builds up... can't get enough of that.

    Other than that if I wanted a "happier" tune I'd probably go for Empire of the Sun - We are the People
