"boredom is a sin, ambition should be everything"

Help! Compilation help, to be precise. I'm putting together several compilation CDs (of which you shall hear more later) with different themes. I want to fill one of them with songs that inspire you to get up and make something, do something creative with your life, overcome the nerves and the stagefright - and it's occurred to me that I should really have it done by November.

The trouble is that I've only thought of four songs so far (Lose Yourself by Eminem, Goethe's Letter to Vic Chesnutt and Lee Remick by Hefner, and the 'this is your life and it's ending one minute at a time' theme from Fight Club). Which is frankly pathetic.

So. Anyone have any suggestions? What's the song that makes you want to make art? The song that kicks you in the arse and tells you to get on with it?

Edit: Oh yeah, "There She Goes My Beautiful World" by Nick Cave as well.)

I can't believe I didn't think of We Rule The School until now. I love that song. Thanks.
