Anthem

Because we've all got songs that get us pumped or just bring back some sort of sporting memories...

We're gonna win, we wanna win,
'cuz number one is everything...
Bryan Adams, "We're Gonna Win." Junior year of spring track.

How many people wanna kick some ass?
I do! I do!
Stroke 9, "Kick Some Ass." Very inspirational our tenth-grade year of running laps.

You will be nothing at all.
Stage, "I Will Be Something." Another song of yearning as we pounded lap after lap.

Yes, I'm the real shady.
Eminem, "Slim Shady." We got bored during lacrosse games in 8th grade.

Gonna get a lil' unruly.
Christina Aguilera, "Dirty." Theme song of our gymnastics "team dance" senior year that I refused to perform when my parents were present.

Why? Why do you always kick me when I'm high?
SR-71, "Right Now." Because Kelsey and I were "bad ass" as ninth grade nerds on the track team.

And worst of all, you never call, baby, when you say you will!
"Build Me Up Buttercup" (artist escapes me right now). Good clean fun to sing as we ran through the woods.

I would walk 500 miles...
The Proclaimers, "500 Miles." Appropriate, again, for long runs.

I will go the distance.
Michael Bolton, "Go the Distance." Not going to lie -- I secretly listened to this song on the way to gymnastics meets.

What if God was one of us?
For some reason, this song always had an uncanny way of appearing at gymnastics practice. We mocked it and wondered if we'd go to hell.

But she caught me on the counter...Wasn't me.
Shaggy, "Wasn't Me." We had strange musical tastes, okay?
