Seems many Up-titled songs are one's that have a cheery vibe to them. And this Rolling Stones tune would be considered in that category. It's amazing how that band is just like the Energizer Bunny, they just keep going... So, with that, I'll conclude this 6-pack of a series on an "UP NOTE!" Your comments and musings on these picks, and your own favorite "Up or Down" titled songs or music trivia always welcome... ***START ME UP- THE ROLLING STONES (1981) -What a rockin' energetic song! "Start Me Up" is another Stones song with a sexually charged theme. What a surprise, lol. The track peaked at #2 on the charts held off by "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" from Christopher Cross. "Start Me Up" became a staple at sporting events and is usually played before some kind of action or at the start of a game. Certainly a tune to stir up the emotions... *What's your favorite Rolling Stones song? So many good ones, but I'll go with "Gimme Shelter." Mary Clayton's background vocals singing that lyric "it's just a shot away" always gets to me. TRIVIA CHALLENGE ***Now for our trivia music challenge for those who like to play along.

Some of those big hits were "Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising, Green River and Travelin Band." Their "UP-TITLED song peaked at #4.

"Up on Cripple Creek" is a song by this "Canadian American" group. These musicians gained recognition for "backing Bob Dylan" and the 1966 concert tour, Dylan's first with an electric band.
