A compilation of Western songs with titles that start with “let’s go” (1–10)
Let’s Go CrazyPrince & The Revolution
Prince, a musical genius.
He tends to be underrated, but in musicianship, performance, and guitar technique, he’s top-tier, and he has influenced many truly sophisticated artists, with D’Angelo at the forefront.
Among Prince’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Let’s Go Crazy.
It opens the classic album Purple Rain, and it’s a rousing anthem that showcases Prince’s signature rhetoric: don’t expect much from this lousy world—wish for happiness in the next life and live like a madman in this one.
Let’s Go CrazyThe Clash
The Clash were a punk rock band from England who were hugely active from 1976 to 1986.
They’re as famous as the Sex Pistols and The Damned, and in their early days they incorporated elements of reggae.
Among The Clash’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Let’s Go Crazy.
It’s a mid-career track characterized by a sound that mixes rockabilly and new wave.
Be sure to give it a listen.
Let’s Go (ft. Ne-Yo)Calvin Harris
Let me introduce a track by Calvin Harris, whose songs are explosively popular in clubs around the world! Hailing from Scotland, Calvin had a major breakthrough with his album “18 Months,” released in June 2012.
This track is the third single from that album and features American R&B singer Ne-Yo.
It’s characterized by electronic beats and an exhilarating melody, with an inspiring message that sticks with you.
The motivational lyrics emphasize the importance of taking proactive action, making it a perfect song for moments when you want to strengthen your resolve.
Lets Go On The Run (ft. Know Fortune)Chance The Rapper
Chance the Rapper is a rapper who has amassed a fortune with a groundbreaking strategy: not signing with a label and not selling his music for a fee.
He’s an overground rapper, but many heads likely admire his strategic business approach and lyrics that hint at his sharp intellect.
“Lets Go On The Run (ft.
Know Fortune)” is one of his standout tracks.
There’s an incredibly dope verse toward the end of the song, so enjoy that shift as well.
Let’s GoDef Leppard
Def Leppard is a rock band from England.
They rose to popularity during the NWOBHM movement and achieved especially great success in the 1980s.
Among their songs, a track I particularly recommend is Let’s Go.
It kicks off with a heavy bass and a striking guitar riff, but then proceeds with a fairly understated feel.
There’s a key change in the hook, but it’s not abrupt, so it remains very easy to listen to.
Be sure to check it out.
Lets Go SurfingThe Drums
The Drums are known for their refreshing sound that blends surf music and indie pop.
This track, released by the American band as their debut single in September 2009, stands out with its catchy whistling and simple beat.
On the surface, it seems to celebrate the joy of surfing, but in fact it expresses a desire to escape everyday stress and to pursue a simpler way of living.
It was also included on their June 2010 album “The Drums,” and was selected by NME as one of the “150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years.” Evoking a longing for the seaside and a sense of liberation, this song is perfect for when you want to break free from the everyday.
It has a magical power that makes you want to step outside and take action.
Let’s Go (ft. Yelawolf, Twista, Busta Rhymes, Lil Jon)Travis Barker
Travis Barker, known as the drummer for Blink-182, has recently been collaborating with many artists and dropping great tracks.
One such collaboration with Yelawolf, Twista, Busta Rhymes, and Lil Jon is “Let’s Go (ft.
Yelawolf, Twista, Busta Rhymes, Lil Jon).” As you can tell from the lineup, it’s a gathering of masters of fast rap.
The high-speed flow delivers an indescribable thrill.
Personally, I’d love to see Tech N9ne added to the mix for a new track.
