I am going to give you a word. I would like you to tell me the first thing that pops into your head when I give it to you. Your response can be another word, it can be a phrase, or a picture if that's what you immediately think of. Don't think about it, just give me the first thing that comes to you.

All clear on what you're supposed to do? All right then. Clear your mind and here we go.












Your word is Raiden.

Liu Kang!

(I don't know if that's the one that comes next on the actual song, but apparently it's the one that comes next on the version of the song in my head)

Simultaneous images were the thought of "lightning" and the image of his cool hat.

(All Mortal Kombat associations, clearly.)

You're not the only one who thinks of that first. I confess my own first association was with that character. I'm interested in seeing how prevalent this is. I'm pretty sure it's a generational thing, though. I doubt people not even that much younger than us would make that same association. But I am curious.

Thanks for your input!
