Song of the Moment LXXXVII: The Union Underground’s “Across the Nation”

Move to the music, play that fucking music!

The Union Underground’s “Across the Nation”

Whether I’m drunk or sober, if you ask me what is the best theme song of WWE’s Monday Night Raw, my answer will always be “Across the Nation” by The Union Underground. The song’s hard rock instrumentals and rough vocals blend perfectly with WWE Raw and the Ruthless Aggression era (one of my favorite eras of WWE)—it sounds so ruthless and aggressive.

Papa Roach’s “…To Be Loved” and Shinedown’s “Enemies” (my second and third favorite WWE Raw theme songs) also have the raw (no pun intended) energy fitting for the red brand, but the aggression that “Across the Nation” brings to the table is just incomparable. And tonight, it’s my Song of the Moment.

Now let me drink my Jack & Coke Zero and move to the music. See you in the next post. Cheers!

Song of the Moment XXXIV: Justin Timberlake’s “Like I Love You” (featuring Clipse)

Last June 24, 2024, I walked and jogged on my favorite jogging path for an hour after more than a week of not exercising. And the exact second I stopped jogging, heavy rain poured. I ran to the nearest parking building, and for some strange reason, I wanted to hear this song from Justin Timberlake. I don’t remember the title, but I remember this line:

If you smile, then that should set the tone

So, I googled “Justin Timberlake” and the above line on my phone, then finally saw and remembered the song title: “Like I Love You”. I quickly opened my Spotify and then played the song on repeat. What a dance-worthy song. And I also learned the name of the one who made and performed the rap verse: a hip-hop duo named Clipse. Thank you, Google and Wikipedia.

Now let me listen to this Justin Timberlake classic on repeat again. Happy weekend!
