Okay, hear me out. "So Start Me Up"? Underrated Rolling Stones banger. I said it!
We always hear about "Satisfaction". Or "Paint It Black". Those are classics, sure.
But "So Start Me Up"? That's pure, unadulterated energy. A shot of rock and roll espresso. Fight me.
Go Go Go: The Soundtrack to Life
Let's be real. Life needs a soundtrack. Something to pump you up. Something to get you... going.
For me, that's usually this song. The opening riff alone is enough to make me tackle my overflowing laundry basket.
And that, my friends, is saying something. Because laundry? The enemy.
But Seriously, the Lyrics
Okay, the lyrics aren't exactly Shakespeare. But who cares?
“You make a dead man come.” Seriously, Keith Richards, are you trying to make me blush? It worked.
It's raw, it's suggestive, it's... rock and roll! It's the lyrical equivalent of winking really hard at a stranger.
Don’t judge. We’ve all been there.
It's the perfect song for getting ready to face the day. Especially if that day involves meetings. Ugh.
Imagine strutting into a conference room with "So Start Me Up" playing in your head. Instant confidence boost!
Unpopular Opinion Time (Again)
I also think it's a fantastic workout song. Yes, better than that generic pop song everyone uses.
The beat is infectious. It makes you want to move. Even if your "move" mostly involves flailing awkwardly on a treadmill.
Plus, singing along (badly) is a great way to distract yourself from the pain. I swear by it.
Think of it this way: Mick Jagger wouldn't give up. So neither should you. Keep going!
Beyond the Obvious: Its Hidden Depths (Maybe)
Is it possible to overanalyze a song like "So Start Me Up"? Probably. But I’m going to try anyway.
Could it be about more than just... well, that? Is there a deeper meaning hidden beneath the surface?
Maybe it's a metaphor for finding your passion. For reigniting your inner fire. Okay, I'm reaching. Definitely reaching.
But hey, a girl can dream. A girl can dream of interpreting Rolling Stones lyrics for the ages.
Or maybe it's just a really catchy song about, you know. Either way, I'm here for it.
So, next time you need a little pep in your step, crank up "So Start Me Up." And watch yourself go, go, go!
Because honestly, life's too short to listen to boring music. Especially while folding laundry.
Agree? Disagree? Tell me your favorite pump-up song! (But be warned: if it's not "So Start Me Up," I might judge you... a little.)
