Hit Me With Your Best Slides

Written on September 4, 2025

This parody of the Pat Benatar song “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” was written for a co-worker and their last day on a big work project.

verse 1
Well you're a real big program with a long history
Of sending out a status -- red, amber or green
Webcasts, all hands, award nominations
Roll up your sleeves, in Aspire communication

chorus
Hit me with your best slides
Why don't you hit me with your best slides?
Hit me with your best slides
File them away

verse 2
With toolbox full of color, fonts and shapes
The message pops, from a once blank page
Revise the drafts, refine each phrase
Sprinkles of bold, the Aspire Way!

chorus
Hit me with your best slides
Why don't you hit me with your best slides?
Hit me with your best slides
File them away

verse 3
Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of helping coordinate for the Aspire team
We wish you well with high fives and hugs
But don't forget to take your Christmas mug

chorus
Hit me with your best slides
Come on, hit me with your best slides
Hit me with your best slides
File them away

repeat chorus
Hit me with your best slides
Why don't you hit me with your best slides
Hit me with your best slides
File them away
