So Whats your Theme Song?

[Heath Doolin]

Everyone probably has one. You know the one that would go off as you entered a room.

Theme from Bonanza for me. Plus I always thought that I was a Cartwright in another life time

[LongHrn99]

"Somebody Kill Me" by Adam Sandler.

[Jimpy]

Oh, I don't know. It depends on what mood I'm in.

If I'm feeling mysterious, it's probably "Daily Nightly" by The Monkees.

If I'm feeling silly, it's probably "Auntie's Municipal Court" by The Monkees.

If I'm feeling rebelious, it's probably "Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye" by Michael Nesmith (Note-actually ALL these songs are by the Nez)

If I'm feeling drunk, it's probably "Dedicated Friend" by Michael Nesmith.

If I feeling love, some alien being has taken over my body. However if I'm feeling lust, it's probably "Sweet Young Thing" by The Monkees.

[OfficeGirl]

if i'm feeling melancholy, "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper.

Otherwise, any song by Cake will do.

[Harmonious Discord]

Feeling good.

Getting ready to go somewhere.
Putting on the Ritz.

Feeling crowded.
Green Acres
Don't ask how they got green or why they hurt.

[Sparky]

It gotta be this song! (http://www.hampsterdance.com/originaldedodedo.wav)

[Omniscient]

For me its anything off the Buffet catalog.

[Imthecowgodmoo]

I have a song in my head, I don't know who sings it or what the title is, but its cool and I think it should be my theme song.

Manhattan: Which version? The original was great, but I like the Cream version is my favorite. That song's been covered too many times.

------------------
"There are many sweeping generalizations that are always true" -Space Ghost

[ThisIsHell]

Lit Up by Buckcherry. It's pretty self-explanitory if you know the lyrics. Even though I've given that stuff up now, it's still my theme song.

[boli]

Omniscient - great taste in music, but if you are speaking of the great Jimmy, please get his name right!! B-u-f-f-e-t-t.

[nayaran]

"Come As You Are" --the theme of one of my role models :)

"The Saint" or "The Sinner" by Orbital
"Rip Stop" by TDF --you have to hear it to get it

"Of course, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong."--Dennis Miller

[BurnMeUp]

hmmmm all depends

When i'm in a great mood (like yesterday afternoon after a really great phone call) Everyday Sunshine by Fishbone

When I'm morose - There is a Light That Never Goes Out by the smiths

when i'm feeling rowdy - No One Lives Forever by Oingo Boingo

When feeling tender and cuddly - most any Harry Connick Jr

right now, 3 am, no sleep or hope of sleep: Shriekback "This Big Hush"

Is there a fire in the sky
Is there a moon up there
Is anything alight now
This darkness hears what I hear

This is a breathless silence
A moment out of time
I see your face in the shadows
The tell tale signs are in your eyes

More than I can hold in my hands
Running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
Deep as the river of desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this light inside
And the light from you

Is there a flame in the dark
Is there a bright hot star
These creatures look the same now
We freeze wherever we are

We wake alone in the blackness
We sleep wherever we fall
One dream all around us
This big hush infects us all

Holding up my hand in a field
Soaking up the waves underwater
I'm tuned to music no one can hear
Forever in this halflight of desire
The ashes and the fire
Turninging this light inside
And the light from you.

Magic Carpet Ride, by Steppenwolf.

[GeneralRipper]

"Don't Look Back" - Boston

I heard it on the radio three times in two days after a heart-breaking break-up with my collage GF. I play it whenever I feel the need to be inspired or when I'm in a rut.

[BunnyGirl]

"Runnin' With The Devil" by Van Halen.

Naaaah! Just jokin'! :D

Probably "All or Nothing At All" (jazz standard-don't know who wrote it)

or another of my fav's:

Rhapsody in Blue - by the incomparable George Gershwin. I've liked this one since I was a kid. Sensual, energetic, frenetic music. Yup, that's me.

[Coldfire]

That would be a certain song by Rush: Cold Fire. Duh ;)
There are probably 50 better songs I could name right now, but this one (especially the gripping opening cords and smooth flow-of-music following them, if y'all know what I mean) sure would do great accompanying me as a boxer enetering the ring, or something along those lines.
Strange, I never had any boxing ambitions before :)

Coldfire
(see quote below - it took us 5 million years of evolutiond and 3000 years of modern western civilization to finally grab the essence of the fabric of life in SIX DAMN WORDS. And it's all true.)

[okatym]

"Party out of Bounds" by the B-52's.... :)

[SqrlCub]

Rennaisance Period, "If My Complaints Could Passions Move" by J. Dowland (played this piece before college)

Classical Period, "Melancholia" by M. Giuiani
(played it my junior year in college)

Romantic/Twentieth Century Period, "Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra" H. Villa-Lobos (played it my senior year in college) I know Villa-Lobos is not a Romantic composer but so much of his music takes from that period.

Folk Music, "Turkey in the Straw" (instrumental version) traditional, when I am in a goofy mood, "Lady Isabella and the Elf Knight" traditional when I am in a morbid mood, and "Moonshiner" or "Shady Grove" traditional, when I am in a good mood.

Pop Music, "Love Song" by the Cure

Was it something I said???? :(

[Pickman's Model]

Ooooopsie! Disregard that last post, folks---has nothing to do with anything. It's late, and the old brain is not working with me, here. Sorry about that, campers! Please continue.

[keystream]

Well, ever since I arrived at college, it's been "Right Place, Wrong Time" by Dr. John (although I really like the cover by Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies better).

[Chef Troy]

My theme song, when I'm feeling like Lassie fucked the cantaloupe (you know, melancholy), is Billy Strayhorn's immortal "Lush Life." Natalie Cole did it on her "Unforgettable" album, but in my opinion the tie for best version is:
(instrumental) John Coltrane, on the album "Lush Life"
(vocal) Johnny Hartman, on the album "Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane"

When I'm in a more bouncy mood but still a dark one, it's "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo.

When I'm cooking, it's "Soul Food to Go" by Manhattan Transfer.

I've Got "It" But "It" Don't Do Me No Good

[Eris]

I'm surprised nobody else has taken this one, so I will: "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks. Yeah, it was overplayed for a while, but the lyrics are great.

You're so good to me I know
but I can't change
Tried to tell you
but you look at me like
maybe there's an angel underneath
innocent and sweet

Yesterday I cried
It must have been a relief
to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed

I'm your help, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

etc.

I've never found a song that so accurately describes my frustrations with relationships. And it's got a catchy tune, too!

[Sassy]

I've had recommended...

"Ain't Neccessarily So."

I would like...

"Linus and Lucy" from the Peanuts specials (it's the one where they dance.)

At this moment, my theme song would have to be, "Stormy Blues" by Billie Holiday.

The "Theme from Robotech" by Ulpino Minuchi

------------------
We have met the enemy, and He is Us.--Walt Kelly

[the first supraliminal]

Eris, I'm pretty sure the lyrics were "I'm your hell, I'm your dream...", and not help. I thought I'd post this because it didn't seem like a typo.

If there's a male equivalent for this song, I think it would be, "I'm an Asshole." It was some obscure song, really funny, but I forget the artist.

My theme song still stands: "One bourbon, one scotch, one beer." -- George Thoroughgood.




------------------
One beer is less than two beers.

[Shirley Ujest]

Theme song for Indiana Jones.

[nayaran]

Almost forgot the obvious one (to me, anyway):

"Narayan" by Prodigy
(not a typo, my alias is the reversed spelling :) )

------------------
"Of course, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong."--Dennis Miller

[ChrisCTP]

If there's a male equivalent for this song, I think it would be, "I'm an Asshole." It was some obscure song, really funny, but I forget the artist.

That'd be Denis Leary, or The God of Comedy.

Depending on my mood, my choices would have to include:

Halcyon (+ on + on) (I don't know who does it... it's on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack)

32 Flavours by Ani DiFranco/Alana Davis.

Sullen Girl by Fiona Apple

Rapture by Blondie

and

Shut Up by the Bloodhound Gang

That's all I can think of for right now. I think I did a pretty good job, since I have "Kung Fu Fighting" playing on a loop in my brain. (Thanks ever so much to whoever posted that...)



------------------
Veni, Vidi, Visa ... I came, I saw, I bought.

[Byzantine]

I don't know if this is the name of the song or just a snip of the lyrics but "Paperback Writer" Cause I wanna be one!

[Louie]

Theme for "Three's Company" because I act exactly like Jack Tripper.

------------------
"The more beautiful the rose, the more thorns it hides underneath." - Louie

[Coldfire]

"I'm an Asshole" was indeed done by Denis Leary, but I think he covered it off of an English version of this song - as to who did THAT, I have no clue.

Yes, the title is "Paperback Writer" and it's by the Beatles, I think.

Coldfire (Themesong: Cold Fire :) - see quote below)

------------------
"You know how complex women are"
- Neil Peart, Rush (1993)

[nayaran]

ChrisCTP: "Halcyon" is by Orbital, as are two of mine, which I mentioned earlier. ("The Saint" and "The Sinner")

Just thought I'd be helpful. :)

'Yes, the title is "Paperback Writer" and it's by the Beatles, I think.'

You and Byzantine make me feel so old to think someone doesn't know a Beatles song.

Glad to hear someone else likes folk music.

Heath, you ask great questions.

Depends on my mood, and it isn't just the soundtrack that runs though my head. I have to walk it and time my steps to it. And look like one of Jerry's Kids.

Bach's Third Brandenburg. No kidding. Try it. It swoops and soars and KICKS.

Flirtin' With Disaster by Molly Hatchett.

Take Five by DBQ. (I'm very impressive floating along with the drum solo.)

In certain moods, I USED to embody Truckin' by the Dead. But that was before Manhattan spoiled it for me entirely by his "tums, vitamin E and Rogaine". It's pretty danged hard to have a musical theme, your soul in sound, if it makes you snicker and honk like a loon.

Not that a carry I a grudge.
