31. "No Stopping" by the Dave Clark Five [Video: nope. But, since this isn't a very commonly known song, here's a YouTube link to the music: No Stopping.] (It's a rare song, but it is available on iTunes!)
Really? Of all the great instrumental songs out there in the world, this is my favorite? Yes, it's true. I'm weird.
I found this song during my phase of scouring the Deseret Industries and second-hand thrift stores for interesting albums and album covers. The song comes from the soundtrack album from the Dave Clark Five movie titled Having a Wild Weekend from 1965, at a time when the popularity of the band rivaled the popularity of the Beatles.

I'm not sure why I like the song so much. It's got a great, fast pace. (This makes it a fantastic workout song!) And it's got the drums, the organ, and the sax. But mostly, I'd say, it's that crazy 60s organ, flailing away. (The base line of the song is a bit reminiscent of the theme from the Batman television show.) And, the song has a great ending, with a bit of drum and one last flourish on the organ.
It's a darn fun song! I dare you to listen to it without smiling.
