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.

The first part of Pink Floyd's Shine on you crazy diamond. Other days it's Funeral for a Friend by Elton John. Then some days it's Guitar Slinger by Jorgier somethingnordic.

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

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.

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

LOL, for some reason all I can think about right now is the theme from Dynasty...it was so campy and dramatic with the flutes fluttering and horns so majestic!

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