There is a song from Little Shop of Horrors called Down on Skid Row that is the best "Me against the world" or "Obstacles and Challenges" song ever (IMO) :)

I would also put this in the same class as "Inspirational".

The lyrics, melody, performances, and everything related to the song is a work of genius. I don't mean nice or good or pleasant. I mean genius in the very literal sense of the word. The more you watch/listen to it, the more it grows on you.


So I pose this challenge. Can you post a link with a better video/song than what I show above? The song/video should embody one (or more than one) of the below descriptions:

-Me Against the World
-Overcoming Impossible Odds
-Incredible Challenges
-Inspirational

It can be from a video, musical, whatever. Don't care.

Let the fun begin. This is a challenge I wouldn't mind losing.

Can't suggest a video at all, but you might check out my posting of a song and a lyric (Paranoid's Lament" and "I Can Dream") in the Music Lab. I think you'll find that they are at least in the same Spirit.
