Can anyone suggest some good "starting" songs?
I do a show on a hospital radio station in Dartford and next week we're going to be embarking on a 50-hour long marathon broadcast in aid of Comic Relief.
I'll be hosting the first stint and so I'm looking for some big songs that'd be suitable for starting this big event and I hope that some of you might be able to suggest some.
The kind of songs I'm looking for are along the lines of:
Emerson Lake and Palmer - Fanfare For The Common Man
Status Quo - Rockin' All Over The World
2 Unlimited - Get Ready For This
Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For
Republica - Ready To Go
Any help would be much appreciated.

I saw this - 50 motivational songs athletes listen to, you might find some inspiration here! http://blog.257sports.com/50-motivational-songs-athletes-listen-to/
That sounds like a lot of fun.
I volunteer on Insight Radio (RNIB) and read newspaper articles on the breakfast show and its the best thing that I do!
Good luck and enjoy!
Let me Entertain You - Robbie
I love the rolling stones track, it's one of my favourites.
My Generation - The Who
London Calling - The Clash
Listen to it and you'll understand why
The Jam- Town Called Malice
Depeche Mode- Just Can't Get Enough
Florence + The Machine- Dog Days
Madonna- Holiday
Led Zepplin- Whole Lotta Love
Eurythmics- There Must Be (An Angel Playing With My Heart)
Rolling Stones- Satisfaction
Rihanna- We Found Love/Don't Stop The Music
Oasis- She's Electric
Blur- Country House
Spiller Ft Sophie Ellis Bextor- Groovejet
Lady Gaga Ft colby o'donis- Just Dance
Kate Bush- Wuthering Heights
The Stones haven't done much since though!
Another suggestion for a startup song is
Hot Chocolate's 'Everyone's a Winner'
'Glorious' by Andreas Johnson... you could do your opening link over the quiet bit in the first 20 or so seconds, then let the music take over.
A bit of Euro patriotism

Funnily enough, I was asked to compile a list of comedy songs to play out during the marathon show and I did have HMHB listed - but it was 'Dukla Prague Away Kit' rather than the song you've suggested.
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions, incidentally - they're a great help.
Another HMHB song that fits the subject (but its not a starter song) is Deep House Victims Minibus Appeal

I agree with this. Very motivational song and best dance track ever.
Don't Stop Me Now by Queen
You Really Got Me by The Kinks
Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane
I Love Rock & Roll by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
Please Don't Stop The Music by Rihanna
