The Rolex theme song analysed

I thought about starting a thread about this many a time. Anyway, I heard a story on NPR years ago about how songs mean the same to ALL people. Most would interpret a Rap song as being aggressive or Baroque music to be delicate and fine, for example. They played music to people all around the world and everyone interpreted the melodies the same way. This includes native people in the Amazon or remote Africa. To me the Rolex theme song tells the story of the "bourgeoisie." I use that term in the best sense, as well as being a member myself. Anyway, here's my take: the song starts out slow meticulous then speeds up but is still very deliberate. Finally there is a faster melody then a burst of celebration. That mirrors the story of many Rolex owners: years of hard work and study then a crown for our achievement!
