What song is your theme tune?
Which song pretty much sums up your life and how you live it?

Wow, someone who actually likes Crush 'Em. ;)
Theme tune eh? I think that that would change gradually over the years, but for myself I'd probably have some sort of epic score, like from Batman: the Animated Series. :D

The themesong from The Goodies.

They had a tribute show kinda thing for The Goodies last night over here on BBC 2.
To all you people who haven't seen it, it was a three man comedy show that ran from about 1971-81 and was massively popular.
All the three guys (Grahame Garden, Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor) all appeared on it but I didn't see it because I was watching another show and couldn't tape it because I didn't get a little gizmo from the cable company to do that.

For some reason Dance Dance by Fallout Boy has become my tune. Every time its on the radio people call me up and tell me its on. I really like the song and it's fun. So I guess thats mine.

I don't really have a theme tune but Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire probably fits me best.

Depends on my mood and/or what I'm doing.
Sometimes its the Mission Impossible Theme.
Sometimes it's a Pirates Life for Me
Sometimes it's "The Imperial March"
Sometimes it's "Hit the Road Jack"
Sometimes it's "Respect"
Sometimes it's "Yesterday"
Sometimes it's "People are Strange"
Sometimes it's "Won't Back Down"
This list could go on for days and days...

My Theme Song:
"Invincible" by Pat Benatar
The song that I have lived:
"Pink and Velvet" by Berlin
The song I was born to:
"Age of Aquarius" from the muscial "Hair"
Im not kidding, my mother had this song playing over and over while she was giving birth to me..I heard the story from her and my dad so many times growing up ! I was little late though I think the Age of Aquaruius was 1969 and I didn't arrive till 1972.

The Wonder Woman tv show theme :)
Also 'Secret Agent Man'...eventhough I'm not a man. That's also my husband's song but we changed it to 'Secret Asian Man'.

I like to think it alternates between #5 and #30.
Sadly, most of the time it's #41.

Bob Seger’s “Like A Rock” so much parallels my life:
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
And then the middle (which I still tape above my desk whenever I need inspiration):
I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
And now:
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone

Presently, my theme is " Popcorn. "
Probably something from the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. Most likely "Tank", unless I'm unusually annoyed or depressed.

'Dare' from the Transformers: The Movie soundtrack
Sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered
And there's nowhere to turn
You wonder how you keep going
Think of all the things that really mattered
And the chances you've earned
The fire in your heart is growing
You can fly, if you try leaving the past behind
Heaven only knows what you might find
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Everybody's trying to break your spirit
Keeping you down
Seems like it's been forever
But there's another voice if you'll just hear it
Saying it's the last round
Looks like it's now or never
Out of the darkness you stumble into the light
Fighting for the things you know are right
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
The power is there at your command
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
The power is there at your command
Dare - dare to keep all your love alive
Dare to be all you can be
Dare - 'cause there is a place where dreams survive
And it's calling you on to victory

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force song by Dangerdoom.
Artist: Nancy Sinatra Lyrics
Song: Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.
Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

Really? See I think your theme song should be Styx "Not Dead Yet"
Well I was born too late to be a Rolling Stone
I don't know Jerry Lee I never me John & Yoko
Standin' with a strat, I'm rock 'n' roll's bastard son
Go out get drunk get wild have fun
I don't got a million dollars don't drive a Cadillac
Give me half a chance 'cause I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
You better get a bigger gun I'm not dead yet
I've been machine-gunned handgunned hijacked left for dead
Dive-bombed napalmed nuclear warheaded
Dropped from a jet plane with no parachute
Shot by a firing squad & raped by a business suit
I'm dancin' on a land mine baby one leg left
And I can still crawl and I'm not dead yet
Well you're bigger tougher meaner rougher
Dirtier and uglier and sneakier and trickier
You wanna shoot me with a gun, cut me with a knife
Take your bare hands baby rip out my eyes
You knocked me to the floor then you bit me in the neck, well
Hit me again cause I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet, no no
I'm not dead yet
Well I'm a wild card hidin' in the middle of the deck
You better get a bigger gun, you better get a bigger gun
Well there's a mugger in the alley there's a sniper in the hall
There's a girl at the bar wants to get me by my balls
And the hangman is hangin', if I autograph the noose
Lee Harvey Oswald's brother's on the loose
Mafia hit man with a bullet for my neck
Some day he's gonna get me but I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
I'm a wild card hidin' in the middle of the deck
You better get a bigger gun, you better get your poison pen

They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha, Ha by Napoleon XIV perdectly captures the relationship between me and my imaginary friend.
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk
Well, you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind
And, they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away
Ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa
You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right? You know you laughed
I heard you laugh.
You laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad
And, they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away
Ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers
Who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa
I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds
Ha! Well you just wait
They'll find you yet and when they do
They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt
And, they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away
Ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haa
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers
Who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa

I'm hoping to go to Japan next year if I get accepted to the programme I'm applying for. My own town is too small and, well, crap, to stay in. So my current theme song is Thunder Road by Springsteen.

I've changed gradually to 'I'm Going Slightly Mad' by Queen mainly because of the loose state of my mind at times.
I sometimes think that I'm one minor axe related attack away from Dykebar Mental Hospital. Because I probably am. :evilsmile:
