High School Musical-Get your head in the game

In High School Musical a story about a star basketball athlete Troy falls in love with s normal high school musical Gabriella. This particular song shows an example of both Rugged Individualism because Troy is so confused on why he is in love with her, and also Romanticism because they do in fact have something in common. The emotion is strong because he's singing with all his heart to his beloved Gabriella. "You gotta getcha getcha head in the game", a verse from the song shows a bit of rugged individualism because he's trying to tell himself to get it together and stop thinking about this girl because he can really play ball and he could possibly get a scholarship if he "Gets his head in the game". This shows me that he's trying to be tough and not a romantic guy. "Why am I feeling so wrong? My head's in the game but my heart's in the song". This is a verse from the song, it's showing Romanticism because he's thinking about playing basketball but where his heart desires is to sing and be with Gabriella. This shows a good example of freedom from tradition because an athlete is suppose to be this tough macho guy but inside he's a softy. This song form High School Musical is a great example of both Romanticism and Rugged Individualism.
