We Are The Champions

Summary

• In case you missed it, I wrote an article last week titled "Washington Prime: Another One Bites The Dust."
• I do hope WPG manages to make it out the other side of Chapter 11. I don’t think it can, but I want it to all the same.
• That’s why I’m turning to another song and another company today.
• This time, it’s "We Are the Champions."

What’s your favorite song of all time?

You’ve got five seconds to answer starting from the moment I say “Go.” So, with that said:

On your mark…

Get set…

Go!

Five. Four. Three. Two. One. And stop! What’s your answer?

A few of you might have a legitimate one: An actual title instead of “Ummm…” or “I know I do have one.” But I imagine the majority of you are a bit stumped by this intro for a few different reasons:

1. I put you on the spot when you weren’t expecting it.
2. I gave you less than 10 seconds to work with.
3. There are a lot of songs you’ve heard to sort through.
4. You probably have more than one favorite.

I’ve mentioned a few of my own go-tos in articles over the years. For instance, Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does It Better” is a classic that at least makes my top 10 list. If not my top 3.

It’s that good, in my opinion, easily matching up with my favorite James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me. (Which makes sense since one was written for the other.)

But there are a few others that rank pretty high up there too – some of which I probably couldn’t remember off the top of my head if I was put on the spot. Fortunately though, I didn’t ask myself the question and therefore have no obligation to answer.

That’s just how it works when you’re writing an article. You get to call the shots.

“Shot Through the Heart”

Speaking of shots, I’m reminded of another song – a classic, if you will – you’ll no doubt recognize:

An angel's smile is what you sell. You promised me heaven and put me through hell. Chains of love got a hold on
