Welcome to your favorite election throwback.

Howard Dean graced the stage on Day Two of the Democratic National Convention to inspire and energize us all about the Democratic Party's nominee, Hillary Clinton.

People who were around for the 2004 election might remember Howard Dean and his infamous "Dean Scream," where he caught some flack for making an impassioned yell at the end of a speech at the end of an Iowa campaign event.

Consequently, John Kerry was named as the Democratic nominee. And the world was never the same again.

Yet, time has changed us all, and we've become nostalgic for Dean's energy. After years of missing the beautiful sound of Dean's call, he finally brought back the "Dean Scream" at the end of his speech on Tuesday night.

We've missed you, Howard. Never change.
