Top 15 Songs That Make Me Lose My Shit

At some point while doing an insane freakout dance to Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher," I got the idea to compile a list of songs that 'make me lose my shit.' In this particular case, the freakout dance in question was done alone in an elevator at work. That is what I mean by losing my shit. For years on the five-hour drive from School in Gainesville to Home in Coral Springs, FL, I would always wind up shoulder-dancing, totally unaware of my speed, shouting at the top of my lungs with the stereo pumping so loud I could hear the speakers crackle. I could have gotten in an accident and I would not have cared at all. That is what I mean by losing my shit. I'm not suprised by how much Motown is on this list, but I am suprised by how much of the list is what you would consider 'oldies'. Born in the wronge age, eh?
