Possibly one of, if not the most badass song ever. You know: it's the one in the Kill Bill movies. If you listen to it on your iPod, it makes any situation infinitely cooler.
I had to wait in line at the grocery store, so I set my iPod to Battle Without Honor or Humanity and imagined myself getting in a sword fight with the old lady in front of me.
