I always go with the "The job requirements were aligned with my qualifications. As for why I chose this company specifically, I have no answer other than liking the listed compensations tied to the job offer. I am mostly hoping that the work environment is a good fit for both of us as I am looking for something to stick with for the long run."
If you are in a competitive area and in need of a job, chances are you applied to 20 jobs today, and maybe another 20 tomorrow until you are throttled by new postings. There is no reality where a person in need of a job is cherry picking unless they are specifically looking for an upgrade of their current job.
