}} '''''"HYPERPOWER!"''''' is the first track on the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]].'' It is a short instrumental that kicks off the album, a la "[[Pinion]]."
A hyperpower is a nation that dominates the global stage through economy, military power, and technological prowess. The term has been used to describe the United States in the 1990s and retrospectively the British Empire in the 19th century.
==Sample==
This piece features a sample of crowds throughout the track chanting: Power Power Hyperpower Power Power Hyperpowersomething, though it is not entirely clear what the words are. A listen to the crowd sample from the song's [[Multitracks|multitracks]] does reveal, however, that the chant is not "power, power, hyperpower" as was initially assumed when the song was released.
