    Because 'We Are The Champions' Seemed Sort Of Played Out?

    A friend passes along this email from deep inside the bowels of [marketing type place], which he assures us is not a joke:

    Subject: I need song suggestions

    Dear Music lovers and makers from my online address book,

    I'm trying to come up with a theme song to pump up a group of corporate execs at their annual conference. Something like ACDC's "Back in Black"would be good, but any kind of genre is okay. They need to hear a message like, "get out of our way." You know, something real tough guy. Arrogant. Fierce. Any ideas?

    thank you!
    [Marketing Person]

    We wish we could come up with some suggestions, but we can't get the Gawker HQ theme song* out of our head. But please, leave your thoughts in the comments.

    *Hint: it's the 6th track on If You're Feeling Sinister.
