Music is awesome and helps you overpower anything. One such song being:
26) Whip It by Devo
Whip It was created by Devo in the ’80s. The lyrics were inspired by the book Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. The whole purpose of the song was to overcome adversity by “whipping” or defeating any problem you may face. Devo wears their trademark black, sleeveless turtlenecks, and their red Energy Dome headgear.
This song has been covered by tons of people; everyone from Alvin and the Chipmunks, to Moby, to Korn.
Crack that whip
Give the past a slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma’s back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sets out too long
You must whip it
When something’s goin’ wrong
You must whip it
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It’s not too late
To whip it
Whip it good
When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip it
I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good
Crack that whip
Give the past a slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma’s back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sets out too long
You must whip it
When something’s goin’ wrong
You must whip it
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It’s not too late
To whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It’s not too late
To whip it
Well, whip it good
Of course one of my favorite depictions comes from Raising Helen.
