If there is one thing on this planet that gets me out of bed every morning, it’s vodka gimlet. But if there could be a second thing, it would be my love for the band Survivor, a band that taught me how to live, how to love, how to fight… and how to survive.

Which is why this video of a group of wide-eyed children singing “Eye of the Tiger” while a local busker provides the acoustic backing track is officially my new favorite thing of 2009 (sorry, Adam Lambert – slowly taking off skull rings and ceremoniously removing bottom eyeliner). If you can’t afford a personal trainer or a gym, plunk down 99 cents for a used Reebok Slide on ebay, put some shower caps over your shoes, and listen to this jam for hours on end. Authorities will surely find your toned skeletal pile with a huge smile on its boneface after you work yourself out to death.
