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.
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.
Let’s Go Out TonightThe Blue Nile
The Blue Nile is a music group from Scotland.
They specialize in art rock and sophisti-pop, and rather than moving listeners through vocals or lyrics, they excel at a more instrumental, atmospheric approach.
Among their many great songs, the one I especially recommend is “Let’s Go Out Tonight.” As mentioned, it’s a track that feels almost like an instrumental, with understated vocals throughout.
If you want to immerse yourself in a fully realized sonic world, definitely give it a listen.
