it makes me feel strong.
So I don't get exposed to radio much nowadays but I was in a car yesterday with a relative who had the local radio station tuned in and the hall of fame (I'm standing in the hall of fame) theme song was played, then later in the afternoon I was in a different relatives car and they had Radio 1 on and the wrestlemania theme song by P.Diddy came on.
During the wrestlemania hype WWE it seems only used half of the last verse of the song and a portion of the intro and it gave me the impression the song was an ode to New York in the vein of Jay Z's empire state of mind but it seems WWE took 2 different portions of the songs (a sort of intro verse and half the last verse) of the song and changed it's context for their benefit. I listened to the song at home last night and it's actually a song about songs and the emotions they cause Puff Daddy to feel and it covers issues such as fear of fatherhood and a friend of Puffs who has been shot and that Puff is now going home (to New York) instead of the fun "I Love NY" song WWE pushed it as
I'm actually in disbelief about how well WWE managed to change the meaning of the song by carefully slicing out half a verse and the intro and then looping the chorus whilst playing it over footage of New York.
