The Rat by The Walkmen

“There was a piece on the AV Club recently about what song you'd pick to be your entrance music if you were a pro athlete or wrestler, and I pretty quickly settled on this song. Just a ferocious intro, and although it would probably never make it to the lyrics, those just slaughter me as well. Not to mention I'm kind of a slut for awesome drum parts, and this song fulfills me entirely. "When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw; now I go out alone, if I go out at all."”

Well I heard this on 6 music and it made me stop everything I was doing, which I think is a sign of an awesome song.   2

Not a massive fan on this album, but this is a hell of a song. A bit angst ridden for a Saturday, but hey....   1
