Imagine for a moment, a la pro wrestling, you had a theme song that plays when you go places. You enter a restaurant, the lights dim, and your music plays, business meetings, wherever you go your theme song introduces you to those around you. What would your theme song be? I’m torn between the Kill Bill Theme (“Battle Without Honor”), “Minister of Rock and Roll” by Lenny Kravitz and “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys. ---

**Indiana Jones Theme Song** I use it quite often, mostly when I scrub toilets. Adds an element of mystery and daring-do. ---

I’m probably going to blow some people’s image of me… “Redneck Woman” by Gretchen Wilson. God, I love that song. It’s not _totally_ about me, but some parts are. 😃 ---

I’m 6’5", most of which is leg. When I walk, I take Very Big Steps. My passage brings its own air mass with it. I don’t walk, I march. To the Darth Vader Theme. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > …_I’m No Angel_ by Greg Allman. Well come on baby, show me your tattoo. Me: ‘_I’m An Adult Now_’ by **Pursuit of Happiness**. …I’ve got my own reasons to drink now Think I’ll call my dad up and invite him… I can sleep in 'til noon anytime I want Though there’s not many days that I do Gotta get up and take on that world When you’re an adult it’s no cliche, it’s the truth… …Adult sex is either boring or dirty Young people they can get away with murder… …I can’t take any more illicit drugs I can’t afford any artificial joy I’d sure look like a fool lying dead in a ditch somewhere With a mind full of chemicals like some cheese-eating high school boy… ---

Hmmm … I’m torn. I’ve got a few ideas, but I think my favorite’s got to be “She’s Actual Size” by They Might Be Giants. Although I certainly wouldn’t mind Princess Leia’s theme … but that’s kinda flouncy and girly … two things that don’t describe me all that well. No, wait, I’ve got it. I hereby declare my official theme song to be “New Jersey Girl” by Nerf Herder. _New Jersey girl, New Jersey girl, with your crazy, fucked-up hair …_ Yeah, that’s me. 🙂 ---

Mine would be “Goin’ Out West” by Tom Waits, or “You Got the Touch” by Stan Bush, the latter if I’m doing something especially heroic. ---

“Sir Duke” by Stevie Wonder. Not because of the lyrics or anything, just because I like the thought of that playing whenever I enter a room. ---
