What's your theme song?

[TMF Jeff]

On talk shows, whenever a guest walks out the band plays a little snippet of a song that's somehow relevent to the guest. Like Julia Roberts comes out and they play "Pretty Woman," or Michael Jackson comes out and they play "People are Strange."

If you were walking onto a talk show set, what song would you want them to play? and then as a follow-up question, which part of the song would they play?


Mine is "I'm not like everybody else," by the Kinks, the first four lines:

I won't take all that they hand me down,
and make out I smile though I wear a frown.
and I'm not gonna take it all lying down,
'cause when I get started, I go to town.

 

[Tcklsh_Kandy]

LoL . Good question . I guess for me it would be "Can't Touch This " for the answet to BOTH questions

 

[kurchatovium]

"Learning To Fly" by Pink Floyd

Here are the lyrics I would want:

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

 

[MrMacphisto]

Can't touch this?... Does this have anything to do with tickling? j/k

Anyway, mine would be "Freewill" by Rush.

"You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose free will"

 

[morgandavis]

mine is "kill the white people" by eddie murphy
select portion is in italics

I live in a shanty in the shantytown.
We have no money so we had to sleep on the ground.
I played the music. My father he dig a ditch.
My mother she do laundry life sure was a bitch.

But soon we killed the white people. Ooh we gun make them hurt.
Kill the white people yea. But buy my record first.
Ooh yea. Why don't you buy my record?

<i>We sing of freedom and ooh equality.
But we really don't care we just want money money money.
We want to drive in a big black limo.
Get so high off ganja we cant even see.
Soon we kill the white people. Ooh we gunna make them hurt.
Kill the white people. Yea. Ooh but buy my record first ooh.</i>

When u go in the record store. We gunna wait outside.
We gunna hit them in the bat and make them cry.
Soon we kill the white people.
Yea but buy my record first.

Pat Benetar "Hit me with your best shot"

"Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place

Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Come On, Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!"

 

[Armpit_licker]

Robert Tepper, theres no easy way out.

"some things are worth fighting for some feelings never die
I'm not askin' for another chance i just wanna know why
there's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
there's no easy way out givin' in can't be wrong"

 

[asutickler]

I'd have them play "All Star" by Smash Mouth. Particularly the part that goes:


Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed...

She was lookin' kinda dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead...

 

[featherfingers]

I've been told that I'm a little goofy and crazy at times, so THIS would be my Theme Song:

[kis123]

Survivor by Destiny's Child.

Fighter by Christina Aguillera (or however it's spelled).

 

[venray]

Lift me up...........By Yes..........


"Lift me up and turn me over;
Lead me on into the dawn.
Take me to the highest mountain;
Tie me up, love in a storm.

Have you decided on my fortune?
Facing the future in your eyes,
With your imperial behaviour
We fight amidst the battle cries."



Ray

ANother one is "still the same" by bob seger

 

[4Pawz]

The Theme Song from Roswell

Part of the lyrics are more of my theme than others, but most apply:

Dido - Here With Me

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide

And I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me

And I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me

 

[jugner]

A new one by Papa Roach, "Scars"

"Scars remind us the past is real"

 

[ThisIsMyName]

Mine would have to be the theme from "The Magnificent Seven". No deep meaning to it, it's just a bad ass song.

 

[mtlhd]

Determined

Mine, with my current attitude on life would have to be "F*cking Determined" by Mudvayne

GO, SO F**KING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT CONFIDENCE
GO, SO F**KING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, SPIT OUT ALL REASON, YEAH

I'm tired of holdin' up the weight,
the weight of the motherf**kin' world.
What I wanted to do, but just can't wait
HERE RIGHT NOW !!!
We could start a little fire just to get in the flame
That's overflowing.
I'm speakin' of my 15 minutes of fame
Come on now 1 2 3...


god that song fires me up.

the metalhead

 

[Stevereeno]

Frank Sinatra "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"

Raindrops are fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

[trumpet]

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

 

[Deleted member 1142]

Mine A little

Starland Vocal Band "Afternoon Delight" cause why wait till night to make sweet sweet love

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

My Title Song?

Playin' In the Band by the Grateful Dead

Some folks trust in reason
Others trust in might
I don't trust in nuthin'
But I know it come out right
say it once agin now
Whoa, I hope you understand
when it's done & over
A Man is just a Man
Playin in the Band

St. Stephen/ The G. Dead

.....Talk about yer plenty,
Talk about yer ills
One Man Gathers
What another Man Spills.


With a hey-non-nonny & a Hot-cha-cha

LOL Mine would be slightly less deep than those above. I'd likely pick "Muskrat Love"...the part that has them cuddling, giggling and tickling. That's Drew and I in a nutshell.

Ann

 

[TklDuo-Drew]

I think mine would be:

"They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha" by Napoleon XIV


Oh, and featherfingers.....LOVE The Banana Splits theme song! 😎



Drew

 

[featherfingers]

Glad you like it, TklDuo-Drew! I think this next song is more fitting for me when I'm in one of my deep, dark and mysterious moods:

"Why does it always rain on me" by Travis 😉

Whyyy does it always raaaiiin on meeeee,

[ticklemad]

Which Split are you though Featherfingers?

Think mine would be different depending on my mood - would have
Nellie the Elephant
It's a wonderful world
or Always look on the Bright side of life - though my hubby wants that last one played at his funeral and us all sat there swaying from side to side whistling - lol

The again the OH just shouted up I should have Kate Melua's Crazy
