So, they are making a movie of your life....
What music would you want to be used when they introduce your character?

I would want.....maybe prodigal son by the stones..or Doo wap by Jurassic Five. (that'd be funny cause I am so not fittin' the hip-hop category)

18. When I was in college
my friends and I would sometimes show up at picnics blasting "Valkyries" on the car stereo. It did make for an unusual entrance, especially since the "imposing" vehicle we rode in was usually a VW Bug.

Yeah, we were geeks...

24. Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster"
FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER

I'm travelin' down the road,
I'm flirtin' with disaster.
I've got the pedal to the floor,
My life is running faster.
I'm out of money, I'm out of hope,
It looks like self destruction.
Well how much more can we take,
With all of this corruption.

Been flirtin' with disaster,
Ya'll know what I mean.
And the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself or,
What you want to be - YEAH.
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Chorus:
I'm travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Yeah! I've tried to turn my head away,
Feels about the same most every day.

Speeding down the fast lane,
Playin' from town to town.
The boys and I have been burnin' it up,
Can't seem to slow it down.
I've got the pedal to the floor,
Our lives are runnin' faster,
Got our sights set straight ahead,
But ain't sure what we're after.

Flirtin' with disaster,
Ya'll know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself or,
What you plan to be - Yea!!
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Chorus:
Yeah!! We're travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Don't try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.

Flirtin' with disaster, baby,
Ya'll know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives,
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know about yourself or,
What you plan to be - Yea!!
When we gamble with our time,
We choose our destiny.

Chorus:
Yeah!! We're travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Don't try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.

39. The Kyrie from Pendecki's Polish Requiem
As the camera, ten minutes into the movie, pans down into the crib of the baby Rabrrrrrr to show his face, now so naive and pleasant looking, belying the dreadful and pure evil that he would come to commit upon the world 55 years later.

As the movie progress, and the young Rabrrrrrr is first shown as a young man, the Dies Irae from the Polish Requiem will be played, and that will remain the motif for the rest of the movie.

Also included will be Mars (Holst), the ending of Gotterdammerung, The Rite of Spring, and for my most heinous act, the section from the Mahler Symphony No. 2 in which the world has been destroyed and the bird of death is hovering around the bodies and destruction (it will stop before the Auferstehen, since there will be no auferstehen involved with my story)

That's what I'm thinking, assuming I do end up doing some act of indescrible evil.

"Hitler's millions were nothing compared to Rabrrrrrr's billions", or something like that.
