Doesn't have to be the subject of the whole song, but that's the focus. Add on, we have almost (at least) one per year now.
Deservedly so. That's another, smack you the face with how obvious and essential and classic it is and I had it floating around as an option at one point but clearly spaced it here. For some reason the subject matter is so specific but also so ubiquitous that with a bunch of these tracks I can rap alongside every word but don't always immediately consciously think of it as a potential response even when asking the question of what fits the bill to myself. That was part of why I wanted to pool everyone else's memory banks as well because the majority of these are either painfully simple, tailor-made ones that I look at and think duh, how could I have missed that, and other ones where I considered it for a moment but didn't retain and articulate it and therefore it didn't make the cut when converting the nebulous, multi-year, back-of-the-mind playlist into a physical written one. So as embarrassing as some of these lapses in thought are, at least I'm clearly not alone there. Plus these reminders are helping my "oh yeah" moments. And the other few oddball choices I may have never come up with on my own add a lot as well.
