Hm. Probably “Super Drive” (the _Gravitation_ theme) or “C.S.F.” by Pansy Division. ---

**Baby Elephant Walk**. I’ve often said this should play as I stumble down the street while my boobies try to kill me. ---

Either **Rose tints my world** from RHPS or The theme song from **My Mother the Car** ---

I’d say either “My Life” or “You May Be Right” by Billy Joel. ---

Moving this from IMHO to Cafe Society to the tune of _The Look Of Love_ as sung by Dusty Springfield. ---

Personally, I’ve always been partial to the theme from _Voyage Into Space_ (a.k.a. _Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot_) as a personal theme song. Which would be even more appropriate if I had fingertip missiles. ---

> [@Qadgop the Mercotan](#): > > The theme song from **My Mother the Car** Where does one go to see episodes of that old, infamous sitcom? I’ve heard so much about it that I now want to see at least one episode just out of morbid curiosity. ---

**Cornflake Girl** , by Tori Amos Cause it freakin’ rocks. 😉 Tori’s about my favorite artist, and I love that song and always want to get up and dance when I hear it. ---

_Funeral March for a Marionette_, better known as the theme song to Alfred Hitchcock’s TV show. Funny yet morbid, and slightly evil. Just like me! 😃 ---

Okay, I conferred with **Stardust**. We decided it’s _Walk on Gilded Splinters_, originally by Dr. John and done stirringly these days by The Allman Brothers. ---

Well, for the longest time it was _The Pretender_ by Jackson Browne. Now, it would probably be _Halfway There_ by Bon Jovi. ---

“Won’t Get Fooled Again” by The Who. After all I’ve learned about history I’m going to put it in my will to have the song played at my funeral. I hope someone will actually listen. ---

March of the Sardar, by Nicolai Ippolitov-Ivanov (sp?). I’m whistling it all the time, so it’s like my theme song already. ---

Ooh, ooh, “Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress).” 🙂 It gets me in my groove. ---

> [@DakotaDog](#): > > What would your theme song be? > > I’m torn between the Kill Bill Theme (“Battle Without Honor”)… This was my first thought, but I’m more partial to another piece by the same artist, _Katana Groove_. It’s an instrumental with a lot of similarities to _Battle Without Honor_, but it’s less… ‘large’ (for want of a better way to describe it). Good walking music. ---
