Your Theme Song
 

Darth Vader has one, why not you? If you could have any one song play when you walk into a room, what would it be?

Its not really so much about the lyrics, its more about the sound and what it evokes in you. And yes it can change from day to day.

Today I'm thinking "The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn" by The Pogues. The fast part, not the part at the beginning. :)

That song from the mitsubishi commercial where that weird chick is jamming out...that is my theme song today.

Case

Not really my personal song, but I'd like to walk into the American Atheists convention while playing "Hey Hey We're the Monkees".

Yeah, not really my personal song either, but it was the first thing that winamp played this morning and it put me in a really good mood.

Skee-Lo's "I Wish"

Yakety Sax.

The whole song, or at least the last half of Gene Krupa's drum solo on Benny Goodman's Sing Sing Sing (1936 Carnegie Hall recording), then running right through to the punchy horn filled ending.
Well, on some days. The days I was very aware that I was very alive.

vsp wins.

i.e., the "Benny Hill" music

"Flakes" by Frank Zappa off of the delightful "Sheik Yerbuti" album.

Re: Your Theme Song
 

Brown-Eyed Girl, Van Morrison

They're coming to take me away, haha...

- Pie

Your theme song
 

Has to be Led Zep "Rock N' Roll"

My default is Zeppelin - "When The Levee Breaks". Backups are "Smoke on the Water", or anything conveniently found on this mix.

"Sci Fi Wasabi" - Cibo Matto

Oh my gawd... by all means....

Hey, Chewbaccus. Thats a hell of a cool site. Thanks for the link.

Hmmm...I've thought about this question myself recently...lessee...3 options:

Miles Davis--Spanish Key: Very pimpin'...off the 2nd disc of Bitches Brew.

The Reverend Horton Heat--Big Sky/Baddest of the Bad: Owww...yeah!

Moby--James Bond Theme (Moby's Re-version): Suave and modern...just like me.

Hail to the Chief. heh, heh, heh...:D

Cab Calloway - Vipers drag .

I got some more stuff up on there too. Just go to 'advanced search' and run that user ID, everything I've posted will come up.

Today, mine's "Pick up the Pieces" by Average White Band. I am so groovy, it hurts. No, really. Owch.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ... so many .. how about...

Al Stewart - On The Border


Used to be George ThoroughlyGood's Bad to the Bone till that damn Al Bundy ruined it. Damn him - damn him to hell! :)

      In terms of straight music, as Perth stipulated I'd say Iron Maiden's Strange World. To go the other way, and just use lyrics, I'd go with Monty Python's the Bright Side of Life. For a little of both I like Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry.
      Damn... I'm old.

Lets clarify. :) I didn't really mean straight music. I meant "what tune would you want to play every time you walked into a room?". This could be any song, and I guess to an extent, lyrics. You could say:

The lyrics of Monty Python's "The Bright Side of Life" put to the tune of Twisted Sister's "Stay Hungry".

I have half-jokingly answered "The music from the underground levels of Super Mario Brothers" on occasion. So it really doesn't have to be a mainstream song or even a song really. Today I would say my theme song should be "The sound of hard drives clicking before permanent failure". :)

I probably ruined my beautiful thread with the post above. Fuck.

I love the sound when Mario goes underground, and was extremely pleased when I first heard it in Super Mario Sunshine.

It's short, but Moby's "Rushing" is always a really relaxing tune for times when I'm not quite depressed, but in a period of self-pity.

I've been sitting on this for a while, because I never really considered having a theme song. I tried taking one of those online tests to "find your own theme song" and my result was Abba's "Dancing Queen" which I found frightening. I mean, come ON. Abba? You guys know me ... the sound of me killing Abba with a full auto AK-47 with a drum magazine, now THERE'S my theme song.

I was really thinking of something more like the Theme from Twin Peaks. (The owls are not what they seem).

Or ... Laurie Anderson's "Big Science".

The reason "Dancing Queen" would be included is because of the fine movie "Muriel's Wedding" which featured it as the main character's theme song.

"Behind Blue Eyes":blunt:

Two more songs I thought of:

Ice Cube--Really Doe

The X-ecutioners--It's Goin' Down

"I'm afraid of Americans" v.2 off the EP of the same name by Trent Reznor and David Bowie.

-or-

"5 Piece Chicken Dinner", Beastie Boys, Paul's Boutique.

-or-

"Alone Again So", Kid Loco, A Grand Love Story.

Ah, hell...I've been performing that song for about 30 years now. My wife has forbidden it from being performed in her presence because it is a song that an old girlfriend and I had as "our song" due to having been split up by her parents when we were kids. We fixed her folks, though...we just married other people and continued to play music together...and still do.

How could I miss this?- my dad gave it to me long ago, "Hey Jude" or as he altered it "Hedge Ude"

i think it would be cool if every time I walked into a room there was a high pitched sorta shriek noise that made everyone cover their ears and wince and scream noooooo !! make it stooooop!! That or some funky funky parliament like flashlight or something

ooh ooh! music!

um...
you don't know how it feels. - tom petty
you may be right - billy joel
no more tears - ozzy osbourne...for so many reasons...bass line...

I have to throw in a few more, thanks to Heavy Metal Friday:

The Chieftains are playing the Kimmel Center in March. And the cheapest seats are $33. Hmmm...might have to check that out. The last time I saw them was when Sarah McLachlan opened for them in 1995...and it is the greatest concert I have seen thus far.

maybe it's just because i'm a chick but i always thought symphony of destruction was the best megadeath song.:rolleyes:

+$15 for parking. I'm considering going. mini-GTG anyone?


Kimmel Group Sales

One Winged Angel- Final Fantasy 7

Led Zep-Stairway to Heaven

Metallica-Master of Puppets

System of a Down- Hypnotize

Alice in Chains - Man in the Box. huh...go figure.:rolleyes:

EP of the Week: Occult Hymn - Dangerdoom
Song of the Week: Sofa King - Dangerdoom

Bus to Beelzebub -- Soul Coughing

Shuffle, my theme song would be "shuffle" on my ipod.

Maybe PawPaw Negro Blowtorch by Eno,

or maybe Don't Look Now (it ain't you or me) CCR or

Midnight Special by Leadbelly.

One of those three or four.

When I was picking up Chinese food the other night I saw a delivery van for a local company called "Sofa King Furniture".

Temples of Syrinx or A Passage to Bangkok or some fuckin' ballsy Rush riff.
