I think why I enjoy this song so much is simply because it was included in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06. I can't say if Tiger Woods himself had any say in the music that was selected for the game, maybe he had an intern go over EA's sound library and decided on a song; "Yellow Card" was also used in EA Sports' Total Club Manager 2004 released a few years earlier in 2003. I also just chortle at this image of a 30-year-old Tiger Woods, at the top of his game, trying to find the beat in a flashing club circa 2004. I actually couldn't find any videos of him dancing (I'm sure our IT guy at work might have some questioning looks for me the next time I run into him).
But you know, maybe it's end-of-the-game music as you reminisce over your 18 holes and how you could've done better? It's an overly peppy tune, though, so maybe it plays when you watch your competition cry over their scorecards and trying to fish their $569 driver out of the water hazard they chucked it into when they only came in two under par?
I dunno. This song just makes me happy in ways that I don't think it was written to do.
