Mine’s “Peaches en Regalia” by Frank Zappa. I always hear a song like Bela Fleck’s “Flight of the Cosmic Hippo” when I read posts by **roger thornhill**. So smooth and precise, with a touch of whimsy thrown in, the tune suits him. When I see posts by **Moe** I tend to hear some vintage Grateful Dead cosmic jamming that leads into a rendition of Terrepin Station. Although if his post is weird enough, I’ll hear Genesis’ “Supper’s Ready” I always hear a trumpet fanfare when I see **The King of Soup**. Then I start imagining an existing tune with it’s lyrics changed so the song is about soup. I recently did this with the song “Man-eater.” ---

I had to think about my favourite posters and what I hear in my mind when I see them; spent some time browsing, and came up with this: **Anaamika** : I’ve said it before, but I always hear “Dominique” from The Singing Nun. Hee. 😉 **Roland Orzabal** : Sure, most people might think of “Shout”, or “Mad World”, or “Pale Shelter”… me, I think of “Bloodletting Go”, because it is my favourite Tears For Fears song, so whenever I see him posting, I think, “Oh yeah, I should queue that song up.” And so it is. **Scott Plaid** : Whither art thou, **Scott**? The one poster who always makes me smile by reminding me of Nik Kershaw’s “The Riddle”. One of the few posters who not only knows what the hell I’m talking about, but seems to _like_ the song as much as I do, too! How rare. **Quicksilver** : “For Love”, by Lush. There are more, but I have to see them posting again to remember. If I try too hard, I forget. 😛 ---

I’ll take the instrumental _Axel F_ without the crazy frog sound effects, thank you. For my friend, **swampy** , I think _Teddybears’ Picnic_ would be appropriate. 😃 ---

On the humorous side, I’ve always held a love for Adam Sandler’s 7 foot man… (I’m 6’6") Well I dunno if I have a more serious one, the song which often works its way into my head is Flogging Molly - Devil’s Dance Floor… ---

> [@Anastasaeon](#): > > **Quicksilver** : “For Love”, by Lush. Shucks. How’d you know? It’s one of my favourites for sure. Have it on one of my best spin class workout CD’s. 😃 A recent _friend_ gave me a new theme song. “Your Woman” by White Town. Appropriate on many levels: "So much for my high brow Marxist ways… " 😛 If I had to pick just one for myself… it would be tough… but today, I have to go with “Policy of Truth” by Depeche Mode. No wait! “Like a friend” or “Ladies Man” by Pulp. Unless I’m all like, “Karma Police” by Radiohead. See?.. I can’t pick just one… ---

The first thing that comes to mind is “Dirty Little Mind” from Jackyl. Then “Subdivisions” from Rush. Followed by “Creep” from Radiohead or “Manic Depression” by Hendrix (depending on my mood, of course). My husband would say either “Fat Bottom Girls” by Queen or “Girl’s Got Rythm” by AC/DC. Perhaps his theme song would be “Baby Got Back,” Sir Mix Alot. 🙂 Like **QuickSilver said** , I can’t pick just one. ---
