what music makes you feel cooler than you really are?

you know what i mean. you are driving, doing laundry, shoveling snow, whatever -- and if you hear certain music, you are transformed from the frumpy character you (or i, really) usually are into the COOLEST KID ON THE BLOCK. you become the reason they invent the cool table in the lunch room.

for me, this is the list:
• ANYTHING by the clash
• swing music (not only does this give me the feeling of being cool - which i'm not - but it also gives me the feeling that i can swing dance - which i can't).
• most anything by the ramones
• certain NIN songs, including (but not limited to) Suck, Mr. Self Destruct, Eraser, Somewhat Damaged...
• johnny cash
• descendents

[as an aside, my kiddo is sleeping side by side with her dog right now. too cute...]

who makes you feel cooler than you think you are?
