Assignment 23 Rebekah George

If I’m being honest, I already had a World Domination playlist, but I’m sure there’s judgement for that. So, I made another one.



POWER – Kanye West



We begin with the lovely affirmation that you’re powerful. You can take over stuff, believe in yourself. Kanye West has a history of being annoyingly narcissistic, and that’s not the goal per se, but if you’re planning on taking over an entire planet, you better be confident. The beginning of the song features a nice build-up of seemingly opposing sounds, which is why we start here. This may the beginning of the journey, but it’s a brilliant one. You’re just getting started, but it’s going to be totally awesome. Yes, one man or woman (yeah to the ladies) should have all that power, and it should be you.



We Are the Champions – Queen



Next, just lay back and savor what it feels like to be a winner. Look at you, all stab-y and win-y and conquer-y. A+ to you, my friend. Know that you’re the champion of the world. Embrace it. Blare it, sing in your underwear. This is your world and everyone else is just living in it. You are a champion, my friend (a champion that better not forget World Dom Inc.’s requests).



Never Bitch – Mariahlynn   



This song is for all the times when peasants will all be like “we need x, y, or z ‘necessity’.” I mean, you can be benevolent if you’d like, but also this song is just nice to listen to when people you don’t like try to act like they’re better than you. Just jam to it, and rub the fact that you are, quite literally, on top of the world (if you followed the Transportation advice) in their faces. The reason I even like this song is a really long story, but it mostly has to do with these awesome dancers that I am super jealous of because I have no rhythm whatsoever. I actually have no idea how I even came across this video, but I was intrigued.

All I Do Is Win – DJ Khaled



I’m sure you can figure out why this one is on the list.



On a weird side-note, after having seen Ludacris in The Fast and Furious franchise, I can’t see him as being a rapper. He’s just so awkward and non-threatening, how did this man get a rapping career? He’s like the computer tech extraordinaire in The Fast and the Furious and I simply don’t see him as being a rapper now. Anyway, he’s in this song, so yeah.



Centuries – Fall Out Boy



I love FOB, so that’s part of the reason I chose this song. On another, more related note, even if your plans are foiled in the long run, everyone will remember you for centuries…unless you’re the Master and that first time he took over planet earth. That’s…also a long story. Doctor Who, why don’t you make sense to normal people? Anyway, this song ensures that you’re feeling that your reign is eternal (even if it’s not). It makes you feel good about your legacy, which is always a good thing.



Phenomenal – Eminem  



This song comes from one of the trillion movies about boxers: Southpaw. I especially like this song because I felt all powerful and ready to go take on the world the first time that I heard it during the movie. It is that same power that I offer to you, young, world-dominating grasshopper. Go punch stuff and win.



Don’t Rain on My Parade – Originally, Barbra Streisand, but I like the Glee version better   



 No offense, Ms. Streisand, but I do find the Glee version of your song to be more pleasing. Anyway, whichever you prefer is A-Okay with me. You’re the ruler of the planet now, so listen to what you please. This song is simply to remind you that there will be haters (mostly because of the whole subjugating them to your will thing) but that you are no less rad because of them. Don’t let them rain on your parade. You rule that world, my dude.



You’ll Be Back –Johnathan Groff



Okay, I have tiny, relatively unhealthy obsession with Hamilton, so there’s this song. But, you know, you’ve got to realize that there will be times when your supreme authority is questioned. You must crush those. Like little bugs. Sometimes, somewhere, there may be the opportunity for mercy. But don’t make that a habit. Most of your love from the people will, in fact, be reinforced by full armed battalions.    



Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen



Queen is honorarily my favorite band of all time, thus they enjoy the pleasure of gracing my World Domination playlist twice. This song will clear away the lulls when nothing exciting is happening in your new dominion. It helps you to remember the person you were when you took over the planet and to remind you that you’re still them. Go forth and conquer.



Dancing Queen – ABBA



This song seems out of place, but you rock it, okay? Be the freaking dancing queen, young and (relatively) sweet. You are the greatest, cutest, destroyer of worlds there ever was, and DON’T YOU FORGET IT. I just want you to be happy in all your world domination pursuits and this song makes me happy. Rule the world, you rad little star. I believe in you. Your mom probably believes in you. Your pet believes in you, and that’s really all that matters, isn’t it?



Ciao.
