Number Ones: Flo Rida ft. Sia's 'Wild Ones'

In which I try to explain the appeal of Flo Rida with reference to Friedrich Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music. No, seriously. In the process I discuss Johnny O’Keefe, Newt Gingrich, Jack Kerouac, the man who survived after a railway spike was fired through his head, and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Oh, and why it’s weird to hear Sia in this context (but why she’s integral to the song).
