Thank iTunes shuffle feature for this revelation. Juke Box Hero by Foreigner is totally shaking my music snob foundation. Here are five reasons why this fiery hot-lick rock nugget should be purchased from iTunes or emusic.com immediately. (Oh wait, emusic doesn't have this delicious mp3 track.)

Reason 1: "Standing in the rain, with his head hung low. Couldn't get a ticket. It was a sold out show." This may be the most melodramatic opening lyric of all time. It just begs for a killer anime version, or maybe a Robert Rodriguez black and white digitial interpretation.

Reason 2: At 0:33, the most amazing wall of amp driven guitar power erupts out of my high end PC gaming headphones.

Reason 3: "Yeah, he's needs to keep-a-rockin, just cant stop, gotta keep on rockin, that boy has got to stay on top... AND BE A JUKE BOX HEROOO!" This morale building anthem is the stuff of myth; distilled choral essence of teen spirit. For you youngsters out there, replace "Juke box" with "iPod Hero" and maybe you'll get my drift.

Reason 4: The sweet sweet 10 second hot lick from 3:10 to 3:20. Dudes at Guitar Centers everywhere turn into pillars of salt when they displease the Guitar God with unworthy "$299 cherry-red US made Fender knock off" hot licks. Seriously dude, trash your Nickelback shirt, pawn your guitar and go learn JavaScript. I know programmers who are way more rock star than you'll ever be.

Reason 5: Is it coincidence that the most entertaining character on my Tivo Box is "Hero" (from the break out NBC hit "Hero")? Or is it fate testifying to Juke Box Hero's utopian rock worth?

You be the judge.
