Songs that Give me the chills

When I saw Hair, I had that crazy shivery sensation you get when you're witnessing something fantastic, right at the end when the chorus is singing "Let the sun shine" and Claude is laying on the flag. Usually it goes away after a while, but during this scene I had it for almost two minutes, watching the amazing scene in awe. I thought back to all the other times I had experiences such as that. I'm going to invent a drug that makes everything evoke that sensation.
Interpol- Obstacle 1, right at the beginning
Radiohead- Idioteque, when the chorus is playing in one year and the backup is chanting in the other
Mo-Do - Gema Tanzen, when he says "Immer Lauter Mit Der Musik"
The Lonely Island- I'm on a Boat, only in the video when the helicopter is flying in slow motion behing Andy's head
Daft Punk- Around The World/Harder Better Faster Stronger, when the two songs are going at the same time at the big climax
Animal Collective- Peacebone (the whole song, the first time I heard it)
Animal Collective- My Girls, right when the first "I don't mean..." comes in
Fuck Buttons- Surf Solar, around 2 minutes in
Audioslave- Like a Stone, right at the end of the guitar solo
The Bloody Beetroots- Warp 1.9 when the hoovers first come in
Ratatat- Seventeen Years when the straight quarter notes come in
Underworld- Born Slippy Nuxx, when the vocals come in
Dan Deacon- Snake Mistakes, "my dad is so cool..."
MGMT- Kids, the first time
Danger- 11h30, the intro
DatA- J'aime pas l'art, right after the screaming
and almost all really good mashups.

More things should be good.
