High-Energy Playlist

Here's a playlist for those times when you need a boost of musical adrenelin.  I realize that I could probably just copy the index of any "Club Music CD", but have decided, completely arbitrarily, that that would constitute cheating: instead, I've laboriously culled my music library for my favorite go-to up-tempo classics, sure to leave you feeling both energized, empowered, and possibly craving a disco mirror ball in your bedroom.
