"What is your personal anthem, and what makes you choose that song?"

I suggested my personal anthem to Matt when he was feeling low one day - to pump him up a la Ally Macbeal.  I don't think he was too impressed - he probably didn't even listen to it - but I think his is a slightly more refined, thinking, lyrical, pensive (maybe) taste.  I think, possibly, it's because he is kinder than me. And much more cultured.  He feels not as cultured as our friends Goran and Therese, and yes, they are SUPREMELY cultured, but he very much puts me to shame.

But anyway, what is my personal anthem?  It is Kevin Rudolf featuring Little Wayne and 'Let it Rock'.  Why?  It is arrogant - 5000% arrogant - and it is strong.  Sadly the lyrics say 'I wish I could be as cruel as you,' not 'as cool as you,' but if we ignore the fact of the actual words to the song, then we can imagine a wrestler coming out onto his...wrestling stage...and everyone saying they wish they could be as cool as him.  That's what it is to me: it is the song that provokes the adoring applause of millions.  It pumps me up.

Shame I got the lyrics wrong.  :)
