You know how in baseball, a certain player will have a certain song that blasts over the stadium speakers as the player walks up to the plate?  The song gets the player pumped.  Well, what would your “walk up song” be if you needed to play something to get you pumped for work?  Whether you’re a lawyer, nurse, child care provider, construction worker, or tech guy, what would your song(s) be?  If you can, list the name of the band and the song.

It was difficult for me to pick my song(s).  I’m a bit of a Type A personality so my songs always have a bit of a bite to them.  I decided on these two for the time being.  I imagine myself standing in the hallway of the courthouse awaiting final arguments, and just as I enter the courtroom, these two songs come blaring over the courtroom speakers.  That’s right opposing counsel, this lawyer has a Walk Up Song!  You know the jury is impressed as well.  Do I smell a last minute settlement in the works??
