What music makes you want to take over the entire world?

What music really gets your heart pumping, and makes you feel like you could take on the world? Glen Danzig's Misfits does it for me everytime.

Alec Empire's "Intelligence & Sacrifice" sounds like the work of a man who'd take over the entire world before breakfast if you gave him enough bulldozers..

They Might Be Giants, "Kiss Me, Son of God."

None of your Teutonic angst here. Never has tyrranical despotism sounded so chipper:

I've built a little empire out of
some crazy garbage called
the blood of the exploited working class
now they've overcome their shyness
and they're callin' me "Your Highness"
and the world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God!"

Set to an ascending melody that is terrifying in its boundless catchiness.

GYBE's 'Lift your skinny fists..', when it really gets going. Fantastic stuff.

"off [with] their heads (be prompt)" by Latyrx. It begins with a nice mellow (DJ Shadow produced(?)) beat and rhythmic mumbling from Lateef which quickly coheres into a breathless freestyle-sounding verse. Then about a third of the way through he fades out and Lyrics Born fades up with a similar style of rhyme which goes on and ON getting more and MORE intense culminating in a big rant shouty fest -

"ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS THAT WANNA TEST ME!
AIN'T NOTHING YOU CAN DO THAT'S GONNA STRESS ME!"

If you're not screaming along with him by that point, you ain't feeling shit.

Anything by Laibach. Especially their covers of "The Final Countdown" and "Jesus Christ Superstar". Bombastic much?

Hang on... I don't need music to make me want to take over the world.

As soon as I find where I put my cd, I'm insituting myself as your Unquestioned Lord and Master.

More or less anything by Rancid, but particularly Ruby Soho from Out Come The Wolves. Such a predictable choice it actually sounds like it's been written from a book called Writing Songs Which Will Make People Want To Take Over The Entire World... For Dummies, but it works nonetheless...

"Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby SOHO!"

Fuck it, I'm getting a tank.

I'll go halves with you on that, stoatman...

Like the man said, I don't need music to make me want to take over the world. However, there are many, many songs that make me feel as if I already have taken over the world... Van Halen's 'Me Wise Magic'; the Stone Roses' 'I Am The Resurrection'; the Wildhearts' 'Pissjoy'; James' 'Vervaceous'; Marillion's 'Cathedral Wall', 'Between You And Me', 'If My Heart Were A Ball It Would Roll Uphill', and 'King' (still one of the most monstrous wall-of-noise songs I've ever heard); Guitar Wolf's 'Roaring Blood'; Alec Empire's 'The Ride'... Mmmmmmm...

Psalm 69: Ministry is the album I'd have on my stereo for taking over the world and instituting a New World Order...
