ok...i am an old fuck...pushin 45(in dog years...j/k)


but you ever have a song give you goose bumps...many thru my years i must admit...
but the black eyed peas got me with pump it....wow,i hate rap mostly,i tolerate it cause my boy likes it(rap) it is droll to me mostly,but like everything,it has it's moments.

now i wouldn't call" pump it" rap of coarse,but it has some rap elements,but damn...i am fired up..i really like the song.
go ahead and make fun of me...but i like what i like.

i get goose bumps from neil young too...but i just cant get over how much i like the pulp fiction background music,mixed with i guess r+b and rap....good combo for me i guess...

what gets your goat/goose bumps?

also inspired by the movies that make you cry thread...gump:fluffle:

Mmmm .... Fergie. Me wishes Fergie grabs me.
Did you see that pic of her "staining" her sweats? Mmmm, drip-a-licious.

Nope. I can't even remember where i saw that, either ... it all kind of coalesces into a collage of Fergie-ness for me ...

what grabs you?

Little asian girls at the fetish ball when I dress in drag.


Musically: Flamenco!

Music wise, it would be one of the Live8/liveAID tracks.

Loads of songs give me goosebumps, but in particular, Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells. I think its stunning.

Radiohead can do it for me....

but in the right mood about every fitting song does.

Off the top of my head:


Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon

Michael Andrews - Mad World

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Pulp - F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E

ETA: Oh, and the brilliant version of "Roxanne" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack played really, really loudly.

Johnny Cash - Hurt
The NIN version is way better IMHO

and to add to songs that get me...
Jeff Beck - Halleluja
Beck - Everybody's gotta learn sometimes

How could I forget "Hallelujah"??:eek:
Although I much prefer the Rufus Wainwright version.

hmmm lets see there are alot

Magma - The Last Seven Minutes

Yes - Your's is No Disgrace (live)

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes

Return to Forever - Captain Senora Mouse

Radiohead - Talkshow host

Phish - You Enjoy Myself (live)


ah there are too many

hmmm lets see there are alot


ah there are too many
Seconded.
A lot of responses from folks may end up qualifying as "spam", mine included.

I agree with the any song at the right time. I also enjoy listening to the bagpipes and pipes and drums bands, mostly because I'm learning to play the bagpipes.

Bad Religion - Supersonic; By no means my favorite peace by them, but from the moment the riff starts it has so much damn momentum that

Husker Du - Makes No Sense - In my opinion their best damn song. This one just rocks!

Peter, Paul, and Mary - El Salvador - The heart that this peace has is just amazing.

The Kingston Trio - Greenback Dollar - I just identify with the whole imagery of the peice. "But a wailing song and a guitar are the only things that I understand"

Dropkick Murphies - Worker's Song - Full of energy and with great lyrics, what's not to like?

Flogging Molly - Wailing Wall - No comment necessary.

My god, I sound like a folkie! I'm too young to be a hippy!! Why me?

Rammstein- Links 2-3-4. This song gets me all lefty-aggro. Heh. I also tend to headbang in public when listening to Sonne.

Muse- Muscle Museum. I guess it's just the great riffing. And I always liked the "I don't want you to adore me, don't want you to ignore me" bit.

Loads more... Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and qawwals doing Allah Hu, various Queen songs. The 1812 overture performed live. (went to the symphony last week! :) )

The songs that "do it" to me the most:
Pink Floyd- Is There Anybody Out There?
Limp Bizkit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes
Rage Against the Machine- Freedom

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

Laurie Anderson - O Superman

it also makes me cry :(

Something Corporate - Konstantine (truly out-of-this-world-amazing)

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Canon Rock

Rufus Wainwright- Hallelujah

Waking Ashland - Abandon Ship

Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet

Goo Goo Dolls - Name (*cry*)

Rolling Stones - Blinded by Rainbows

In September - Oh and One

Bad Religion - Sorrow

Radiohead can do it for me....

but in the right mood about every fitting song does.
What Radiohead song? Karma Police/No Surprises pretty fuckin' good.. Do it for me.

Johnny Cash - Hurt
Agreed.

Johnny Cash's "Hurt" is far better than NIN's.

The-Republic']Johnny Cash's "Hurt" is far better than NIN's.
Most definatly in this sense anyway.

Bad Religion - Supersonic; By no means my favorite peace by them, but from the moment the riff starts it has so much damn momentum that

Husker Du - Makes No Sense - In my opinion their best damn song. This one just rocks!

Don't you "duh" me young lady. :mad: :p There are different types of goosebumps, see. Otherwise this might as well be a "which songs are your favourites" thread. Unless that was the original intention, and I will go find a hole somewhere to crawl into and avoid humanity for a while.

There's the evil and the plain awesome. And the depressing.

Evil:

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Solitude - Candlemass

Awesome:

Allergic (To Thoughts of Mother Earth) - Placebo
Third Eye - Tool
Part 1 of Sky Valley - Kyuss
We've Got A Bigger Problem Now - Dead Kennedys

Depressing:

Dirt - Alice In Chains
Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle - Nirvana


'course, there are more, but eh.

I've been evilsmilied. How evil of you. :(
And seriously - do you really get goosebumps just because a song is good? There are lots of songs I love, but they don't necessarily "grab me emotionally".
Oh, and if that was the original intention after all - which I doubt, because (up to now, heh) everybody seems to have understood it as "goosebumps only" - that hole will be already occupied by me*. Duh.


*we really need an embarrassed-looking smiley

Uh, well, it was only a joking evil smile! Honest! :p

And yeah, sortof. Although it has to be really phenomenally good in that grabbing emotion type way. Epic helps as well. Songs that go for longer than 10 minutes are usually the culprits.

But...but...that's exactly what I was saying all the time that this thread is about! Duh. (This was the last one, I swear*, but you must admit you deserved this one ;) ).

Yeah, but a song doesn't have to be "phenomenally awesome" to do it. It can be evil sounding rather than epic or really emotional and do it. Still a "goosebump song" but for a different reason.

Goosebumps...

Stairway to heaven- Led Zeppelin
Lost in tears- Sweet coffee (I don't think anyone will know it, they are from Belgium)
The postal service- The district sleeps alone tonight

Alright, alright. I'll shut up now. :)

Awww, you don't have to....wait. Does that mean I win? Cool.

No, it just means I have to go now. Duh. :D :fluffle:

Ohhh, I see. :fluffle:

Well, i'll pretend I won anyway. That helps my ego a bit more.

What really gives me goosbumps are guitar solos that sound (kinda hard to explain) desperate. The best example I can think of are the begining and particularly the ending guitar solos from Iron Maiden's - Aces High
