Makes Me Wanna Do One-handed Push-ups

During work today, the need for a tasteful Thursday article became quite evident. Earlier this morning I read an article in the paper that mentioned Joe Esposito's "You're the Best Around", and immediately I had a huge desire to play this song as background music to 'Street Fighter' on very easy mode. But I don't have the song, and I'm terrible at 'Street Fighter' (hence very easy mode which would still ruin me). I told four of my co-workers, all about my age, about this desire of mine, and not a one of them knew of the song. I then sang it to them with emotion but still no recognition from them. This is completely unacceptable. You cannot be a child of the 80s and not know the inspirational rock songs. We have, 'Rocky's Theme', 'Final Countdown', 'Eye of the Tiger', and many others. But today let's just focus on "You're the Best Around". Hear it, learn it, love it, straight from the source.

I've never heard that song in my life.
