Sometime during my highschool years, sophomore or junior, I decided that Beck’s “Mutherfuker” should be my theme song. As in, “Everybody’s out to get you, mutherfuker.” Made me laugh. I don’t have a theme song at the moment. ---

Oh let’s see, my theme songs? Freestylers by Bomfunk MC’s Out of my head by Fastball Self Esteem by the Offspring and ESPECIALLY the Overture from Tommy by the Who!!! -nut- ---

Sometimes when I walk into a crowded room, I hear the following lyrics float through my head _Whoa-oh, here she comes… watch out boy, she’ll chew you up Whoa-oh, here she comes… she’s a Maneater_ ---

I’d have _Cortina_ by **Red Snapper** play every time I entered a room (official audio sample [here](http://www.warprecords.com/getreal.cgi?catalogue=WARP33&track=05)). Either that, or **Propellerheads** ’ version of _On Her Majesty’s Secret Service_. I don’t think I’m quite cool enough for **MC Solaar** ’s _Nouveau Western_ yet. ---

Room Entrance-Smoke on the Water, by Deep Purple Triumphant-Joy to the World, by Three Dog Night. Reflection-Turn the Page, by Seger. Got it playing now, in fact. But, personal favorite, has to be _American Pie_. Oh hell yeah. ---

Before psycat moved out here, I _always_ had this lyric in my head, from **TMBG** ’s _Ana Ng_: _They don’t need me here, and I know you’re there, Where the world goes by like the humid air._ Lately, my theme music has been _Spiralling Shape_, also by **TMBG** , not neccesarily because of it’s meaning, but more the feeling I get from the sound of it. If I’m driving and pissed I usually try to get into **Weezer** ’s _Surf Wax America_ or _Holiday_. If I’m a little lit or rambunctious, it’s anything by **Green Day** or **Blink 182**. Usually _Welcome to Paradise_ or _Dammit_, respectively. If I’m sad or depressed, something somber/melancholy by **Springsteen** or **Pink Floyd**. Maybe _Shut Out the Light_ or _Welcome to the Machine_, respectively. ---

After long and hard thought, I’d have to say “_Puzzling Evidence_” from the soundtrack to ‘True Stories’ by the Talking Heads. ---

Damn, y’all, let’s get some classical music in this joint! **Standard Entrance** - the first four bars of Bach’s _Toccata and Fugue in d_, BWV 565. **Triumphant Entrance** - Beethoven’s _An die Freude_ from his Ninth Symphony. C’mon, who the hell wouldn’t sit up and take notice, you come in the room with that?! **Depressed entrance** - _Lachrimosa_ from Mozart’s _Requiem_. and for looking in the mirror? The Olympic theme music. Yeah, that’s it. Puff out yer chest and stand tall. Yer an athlete and you got it goin’ on, too. ---

…and for screwing up UBB code for the umpteenth time, let’s play a little _Three Stooges_. ---

But my theme music, Smile by Vitamin C. That or Don’t Worry Be Happy. ---

My theme music would be something like Dido’s “No Angel” or perhaps Concrete Blond’s “Blood Letting”. Dark & moody but enjoyable none the less. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-theme-music/36806.md?page=2)
