Listening to music to improve your motivation and concentration can sometimes backfire badly.
Three songs in this morning's playlist (Nena) that I probably shouldn't have listened to:
(1) Fragezeichen [Question mark].
Lyrics: Den Kopf voller Dinge die man zu schnell vergißt/Wo fang ich an wenn's so weit ist [...] Ich seh mich um, probiere was /Ich kenn den Weg nicht so genau
[My head full of things that are too quickly forgotten/Where do I start when it's time [...] I look around, try something / I don't really know the way]
(2) Ich häng immer noch an dir [I still have a thing for you].
Chorus: Heut' schaff ich das nicht mehr und lief ich um mein Leben. /Ich warte bis ein Jahr vergeht.
[Today I'm not going to manage it, even if I run for my life. / I'll wait for a year to pass.]
(3) Ich bleib' im Bett [I'm staying in bed]. (The title says it all).
Nena is enabling my procrastination.

If you're in the middle of a Nena fix, try Nur Geträumt It has a very fast beat and will have you skipping around the room.
I think if you want motivational you may be looking in the wrong language.
Yes, black & white penguin may have a point. Try this, from Blake:
My fingers emit sparks of fire with the expectation of my future labours.
Now, that's motivating. Except perhaps the part about future labours.
Ha, good point, b&w penguin. Although Jana is right, some of the Nena ones are upbeat and bouncy. Though skipping round the room isn't quite the effect I am going for.
I didn't know you knew German!
I lived and studied there for a few years. I know Middle High German, even :)
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
