"You GO 80s dude!"

When i left my office for lunch today, it happened to be during class changes, so there were tons of students walking around. At first i thought i heard a sort of heavy metal ring tone. It was odd, though — too much bass. I turned a corner, and there was a guy wearing grey sweats from head to foot (including the hood), which was a little strange, given the temperature of about 85F (~30C). And he had a boombox on his shoulder, which was the source of the music.

From behind, the guy appeared oblivious as people turned to stare. At one point, another passerby yelled, "You GO 80s dude!" (erratically punctuated with not-very-sincerely stifled laughter.)

And then i recognized the music: Survivor, "Eye of the Tiger."

No, i'm not making this up.
