Your theme song

Ever hum a song to yourself while you’re strutting down the street to recreate “Saturday Night Fever”? Do you have “Final Countdown” running through your head when you’re trying to boost your confidence?
You’re not crazy. You just need a theme song.
Here are some you probably don’t want narrating your every move:
Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O’ Connor
Macarena - Los del Rio
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion
I Wanna Sex You Up - Color Me Badd
Runnin (Dying to live) - 2Pac and Notorious BIG
Mine: Still in the middle between “Shoop” by Salt n’ Peppa and “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen. I need to decide if I want to feel empowered or kick some ass.
Yours?

If my life could be contained to one song then it would be the New Radicals "You Get What You Give". But for it to be called a "soundtrack", gimme Raheem DeVaughn's "The Love Experience" as the full album.

My theme song would probably be either "Apples and Oranges" or "Astronomy Domine", both by Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd.

Hey, you already named me theme song: "I Wanna Sex You Up!" Or possibly the 1979 tv jingle for PBR "I Got Pabst Blue Ribbon On My Mind". But that's just a single line repeated over and over...well, at least untill sobriety slips away. Then the Color Me Badd slides in. How YOU doin'?

"Girlfriend in a Coma" is perma-looped in my brain.
No, I don't know why.

Hurt by Johnny Cash - DEPRESSING
How to disappear completely - Radiohead
Tequila makes her clothes fall off - Joe Nichols (someone has a problem here)
Every breath you take - The Police - It's got "I'm a stalker" written all over it. Bad, bad theme song.

Hey DB... Give me that 10 spot and I'll make change for you while you're vomiting in the bathroom. Be sure to gargle before you come back tho.

"Legionnaire's Lament" by the Decemberists. I had this running through my head a lot when I was in the Marines and feeling homesick or a little down.

I can't make up my mind between "Monkey Wrench' by Foo Fighters or the Led Zeppelin version of "In My Time of Dying". Somedays I have to choose between 'self-critical badass' and just 'plain rock star badass'. Or maybe just delusional badass. Me? A rock star?
