> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bakhesh \* > \*\*Theme to Indiana Jones \*\* Amen. I’d also like to mention that, for me, the Eminem song “Without Me” has that kind of feel: > [@](#): > > A tisket, a tasket > I’ll go tit for tat with > Anybody who’s talking this shit, that shit > Chris Kirpatrick, you can get your ass kicked > Worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards I’ll stop before I get into his homophobic rants. But the energy of the song, and his non-apologetic nature, pump me up, even if I don’t always agree with his statements. ---
