My New Favorite Song

Has anyone heard this song before?

It's called Party Rock Anthem. I just found it today, and all I can say is that I only wish I had found it earlier. The beat in this song is fantastic, and I personally think it provides a spark of ingenuity that I find quite helpful while I work. I don't understand how people's minds can function at all in an environment with no distractions whatsoever. This is the sort of music I need to play to work to my best capabilities, whether or not my colleagues in their nearby offices complain about the noise. My brain feels like a runny egg custard without noise or chaos to liven up things.
But it's not just being a great party song that puts Party Rock Anthem at the top of my list. Ever since I worked with the military to help develop nuclear weapons, I feel like my responsibilities have begun to restrict me. I hold secrets about the military that some countries would kill for, and some days I wonder if I'm going to have to live the rest of my life simply hiding my knowledge. It's this song that helped me realize that any time is an okay time for me to loosen up about the work I've done and just "party" in the present. The lyrics may not be the most inspiring and many of my colleagues in nearby offices have complained dozens of times whenever I've played this song in my work quarters, but for me, this song is a reminder that even if I'm a genius (excuse my lack of modesty), I'm still human.
