      AquaX  had carefully picked out intro songs for each racer as they were called up to the stage to collect their awards. Rob Greenwald's MC Hammer "Can't touch this"  along with Eric Lagopoulos' LMFAO "I am sexy and I know it" were both classics as well as Anya Colley's Alesha Keys "Girl on fire."  It was the intro footage to the AquaX awards that really summed up the 2014 summer and was well received by all.
