Start Me Up

Get me going

"Start Me Up" is a 1981 Rolling Stones song, one of their signature rock anthems.

The title and chorus work as an imperative—a request to be energized, activated, or set in motion.

The phrase appears in contexts invoking excitement or initiation: That song always starts me up.

Beyond the Stones reference, start me up functions as any plea to get going.
