Literally anything as long as I take ritalin first. Turns out I have ADHD.
Weirdly none. Music distracts me from what I am doing.

I put on Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue on the way to work when I want to get amped up

A single song isn't sufficient to get anything done and you'll inevitably distract yourself by constantly fiddling with your music choice once the song is over in the next 2 - 10 minutes. Don't fall into the spotify trap. Instead put on a full album and truly focus for an hour or so at a time.
That said I'll put on something like Paul Oakenfold's Global Underground. Disc1+2 which is around 2hours of music. Or a Led Zeppelin album (~45min), or maybe a Symphony.

Ween - Friends (Friends EP Mix)
Really the whole Friends EP is pretty solid for getting stuff done.

For me, to 'get shit done' means to enter a state of flow and focus. For that I put on noise cancelling headphones and put this Chillhopmusic playlist on shuffle.
(It's not my playlist, just a public one that someone has created and shared.)
Pants.

Rotting Christ - Dead Poem.
Excellent choice.
It's usually Blanck Mass for me. That confuses the shit out of other people, but I can't imagine using something with lyrics without getting distracted. It's very uncomplicated in all the right ways.
Mostly silence, but when I was in high school (some decades ago now) I had a CD of Mozart music I would put on while doing homework. I still associate Symphony 40 in G minor with grinding through tasks.

Speed metal or techno - Daft Punk's Around the World and all of God Hates Us All by Slayer come to mind.
I've got a playlist with almost everything released by The Field.
It's like an engine that keeps my brain going similar to a gΓ₯nglΓ₯t but for coding or writing or thinking.
It's an album, but: The Fabulous Steel Guitar Sound of Pete Drake. It's instrumental, upbeat, and just the right amount of interesting to just jam out to and get 'er done.
In the house - in a heartbeat (28 days later theme). It sounds oddly motivating.

Only by Nine Inch Nails it has a fast beat makes you want to move.
Listen, that song gets a lot of meme hate but it is a fucking GOOD SONG.
it's 4 hours so you might actually finish it

While working, anything with lyrics will distract me, so usually itβs Kai Engel. If itβs shit I need to do around the house, usually metal.
Do you need the song to tell you to get shit done? Isn't listening to that just putting it back further?
Usually I open soundcloud.com and have music from there running in the background. No specific songs I regularly or specifically for this I come back to. I do have my likes, shares, and follows though, if the feed is unfitting.
