What's your theme song?

[Dastard Stepchild]

As you're about and about living your life, what's the soundtrack accompanying your follies?

Mine's Moondance...'specially when I'm feeling sassy.

:)

[skypilot]

1. "Grazin' in the Grass"--Hugh Masekela

Always "Grazin'in the Grass"!!!

[Dastard Stepchild]

2. excellent... excellent...

that'll put a sweet spring in your step. :)

[greekspeak]

5. The Hugh Masekela version or the Friends of Distinction version?

Both kick ass, and I could not ever decide which is the best if I had to.

[skygazer]

3. Brain Damage

Pink Floyd

[Dastard Stepchild]

6. Dark Side of the Moon... as your avatar suggests...

good choice.
Good for a more laidback folly, no?

:)

[skygazer]

14. Pink Floyd is the soundtrack of my life

And my higher power all rolled into one. ;)

[Strawman]

4. The Night Owls by the Little River Band

Not really. That was just the dumbest thing I could think of.

[Dastard Stepchild]

8. lol...

That would have been a good song for pool-playing follies. Preferably if you are accompanied with a woman wearing very high heels. For some reason, this is the image I conjure with this song.

[Strawman]

12. I picture some cheesy middle aged lounge lizard

There's a bar right across the street
He's got a need he just can't beat
Out on the floor he shuffles his feet away
yeah
yeah
He'll get the girl 'cause he looks so fine

**Cringe**

[WCGreen]

7. I am a sensative artist..... King Missle

[Texasgal]

9. Ooooooh...

DOes yours *ahem* detach?

[Dastard Stepchild]

11. :)

Fair question...

[WCGreen]

45. My ahem is not that kind of missle....

It stays in the silo, get's all reved up and then, rolls over and goes to sleep

[Chichiri]

10. "The Silent Man" by Dream Theater

[Dastard Stepchild]

16. an excellent album.. Awake....

That theme song is introspective-ish. :)

[JimmyJazz]

13. I Fought the Law -

Don't ask. :crazy:

[Dastard Stepchild]

17. that deserves a...

:headbang:

:)

[XemaSab]

15. "Heart cooks brain"

by Modest Mouse.

[Dastard Stepchild]

19. good choice...good choice...

Modest Mouse provides a nice background to life.

[XemaSab]

25. It sure does

especially if your life is bleak and senseless, and every action causes pain to either yourself and those around you, and you're trapped in a cycle of working a dull job to maintain a lifestyle you hate, but you're too apathetic to change anything so you do the same things day after day.

:D

[Dastard Stepchild]

33. Isn't that totally in the liner notes...

as their main source of inspiration?

:7

[XemaSab]

37. Let's see...

sadly, the CD case for "Lonesome Crowded West" seems to be at home, but yeah, I seem to recall the liner notes consisting of photos that illustrate the general idea.

Gotta say I've paraphrased the lyrics to "Custom Concern" pretty well too, if I do say so myself.

[WeRQ4U]

18. I'd Like Your Hair Long - HUM

I wouldn't mind Kula Shaker's remake of "Hush" either.

[Dastard Stepchild]

21. I'm a fan of the Hush remake myself...

That song would play in my head on the way to a day in the park for a music festival or art show folly.

:)

[WeRQ4U]

24. I'd do actions as well.

LIke put my finger to my mouth when he says "Hush." The usual.

[Dastard Stepchild]

30. well that makes it all the better...

lol :)

I'm getting a giggle picturing someone pantomiming the song.

[MN ChimpH8R]

32. What's that on?

I'm fond of Kula Shaker and the song..never heard their version..

[WeRQ4U]

39. I just have the MP3, but I think their remake is on the soundtrack...

to "I know what you did last summer". But I'm not sure.

[ceile]

20. "Is She Weird" Pixies n/t

[Dastard Stepchild]

31. the Pixies...

went very well with my late adolescent angst-filled coffee drinking and then driving 'til 2am follies.

good times.....

Now I pop the Pixies on every now and then to energize myself for a night out.

[Left_Winger]

22. Don't let me be misunderstood by the Animals

After forty years they still rock!

[Dastard Stepchild]

35. a classic...

truly a classic

I would envision this for my hot summer night beer on the patio with my pot-smokin' pals follies.

[Left_Winger]

42. Seems like we might be on the same patio

:beer: :smoke: Right on!

[Dastard Stepchild]

46. lol...

Beer drinkin' pot smokers...it's a large but social world... we very well may have been on the same patio at some point.

:D

[Left_Winger]

51. ....

I used to be a "guerrilla farmer" back in the 80s. But that was so long ago, I hope the statute of limitations are up! LOL!

[chaska]

23. Why, 'Hot Blooded' by Foreigner, of course...

It is my curse ... my goddess.

[Dastard Stepchild]

36. now... that's a rockin' theme song...

best pulled out for walking down the street on those days you just feel damn good about yourself. :)

[chaska]

44. It may be rockin' but it's still a curse....

it hurts me down deep, you know, in my soul, Steph. :cry:

[Dastard Stepchild]

53. I suppose a theme song can hurt...

but I thought they were s'posed to pick you up and make ya feel invincible.

:headbang:

[chaska]

83. Well, you know, there is that little matter of the 103* fever...

Check it and see. Come on baby do you do more than dance?

ARRGGG!!! See, I can't control it.

[youthere]

26. I don't remember the name, but it sounds like this...

nah nah dun dun doo dun dun....and then it just kinda repeats.:P

[Crazy Guggenheim]

29. I was going to post that! lol!

[youthere]

63. Great minds Crazy G....Great Minds. eom

[youspeakmylanguage]

27. "Bo's Veranda" by Morphine

It was actually written for the character of Bo Catlett in "Get Shorty", but I'm stealing it from him.

[Dastard Stepchild]

40. I'm familiar with Morphine...

like it, like it.

Not as familiar with this particular song, but a quick jaunt over to amazon.com to browse their samples should remedy that problem.

[youspeakmylanguage]

41. It's on "B-Sides and Otherwise" as well as the Get Shorty soundtrack...

It's not really Morphine, as Mark Sandman performs on the track with Russ Gershon and someone else. It's a KILLER track - a smooth instrumental.

[EC]

28. Refugee

n/t

[MN ChimpH8R]

34. "Comfortably Numb"

for most of my life. Or maybe King Crimson's "Starless"

[Dastard Stepchild]

55. This song...

is my chill song. This is for my walk along the lakefront, alone, on an overcast, chilly contemplative day folly.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

38. Almost anything that sounds pissed! But these are all tied

for first:

(1) You Better Run by Pink Floyd
(2) In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins
(3) Iron Man by Black Sabbbath
(4) How you Remind Me by Nickelback

[Dastard Stepchild]

73. Sabbath...

Iron Man shows up at every party that I host. Every one.

[toey]

43. cold hard bitch by Jet

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

its even my ringer on my cell phone :bounce:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

47. I love Joanie! Back in the primaries she was playing at

the Dean Campaign Rally in Iowa. Some Bushies tried to take over the stage so little Joanie palmhanded one of them and knocked him off! She put an end to that real fast .........

Joanie! Joanie!

[toey]

50. joanie? n/t

[Crazy Guggenheim]

52. That's right. The guy was twice her size too.

[toey]

56. i guess i should have said "joanie who?" n/t

[Crazy Guggenheim]

57. Joan Jett.

On Edit:

OOP! Wrong Jet!

[toey]

59. lmao, i was talking about the band "Jet"

[Crazy Guggenheim]

60. Duh. I figured that out. Welcome to DU!

[toey]

62. thanks, and duh to me for not knowing who you were talking about

[Crazy Guggenheim]

65. Oh gee. No, pardon me. I was rude. I hope you will forgive me.

[toey]

70. ok sure, just don't let it happen again! hehe

[Crazy Guggenheim]

75. My my. I must go for a refresher course in manners.

I think I'll start one of my politeness threads. You are most welcome if you want to join in.

[Dastard Stepchild]

49. oh clearly...

This song was practially written just to be an anthem.

:)

[GOPisEvil]

48. "Watch Me Fall" by Uncle Tupelo

some folks find that their role in life
is to fail at everything they try
while other folks see but not like me
there's one thing that they're damn good at

gather around you all
come around and see
those who stand tall
why don't you please watch me fall

the hole it is wide and it's there to divide
it's no one's fault,
it's put there by design
and there's a bridge yet to build
as many men have willed
that can stand the weight of all those who wish to pass

gather around you all
come around and see
those who stand tall
why don't you please watch me fall

[Fenris]

61. Fun song to play on guitar.

:D

The pattern is fun.

[GOPisEvil]

66. It's interesting that I picked a Tweedy song, too.

I'm much more of a Farrar fan. :D

[Fenris]

69. I thought it was an interesting choice.

:D

And Farrar writes better songs. Take that Wilco fanatics! ;)

[GOPisEvil]

72. At the end of Son Volt's set at sxsw,

some guy shouted, "FARRAR KICKS TWEEDY'S WHINY ASS!". I wanted to buy that guy a beer. :D

[Fenris]

76. Hell, buy that guy a freakin' keg!

:D

[GOPisEvil]

80. Sept. 16 at Stubb's.

Son Volt with Earlimart opening. I have my ticket. :thumbsup: I cannot wait!

[Dastard Stepchild]

67. ahhh...our first "alternative country" theme song...

:)

That genre title doesn't do their music an ounce of justice. But, of course, you know that. Great band, great songs...

That song would be selected for my "sunny day, snacking on pretzels, need some serious musically-based revitalization because I've been on my road trip for a few hours" folly.

[GOPisEvil]

77. Agreed...for roadies, Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt are tops!

OK, a little Wilco too. ;)

[xmas74]

54. For awhile it was Thirty Days in the Hole.

[Initech]

58. Rolling Stones - "Sympathy For The Devil"

I figured this was a better choice than the song I had originally put.

[Fenris]

64. "I Wanna Destroy You" by the Soft Boys

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you

I feel it coming on again
Just like it did before
They fill your mind with boredom
And they lead you off to war

The way we treat each other
Really makes me feel ill
And if you're gonna fight
Then you're just dying to get killed

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you

A box upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And they're very good indeed

I wanna destroy you

And when I have destroyed you
I'll come pickin' at your bones
And you won't have a single item
Left to call your own

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you

[GOPisEvil]

68. Strangely, I just listened to the Uncle Tupelo version of that tune.

:thumbsup:

[Fenris]

71. Also very good. With a Farrar lead vocal!

:D

[khashka]

74. Suede by Tori Amos

"I feel my fear is greater than my faith but I walk the missionary way."

Khash.

[jmowreader]

78. Life Sucks, Then You Die by The Fools

[Joey Liberal]

79. Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting - Elton John

Love that tune.......

[Coventina]

81. Mayor of Simpleton by XTC

Pretty much sums up a lot about me.

To round me out a little further I would add

Halo - Depeche Mode

How Soon Is Now? - The Smiths

Frozen - Madonna

Scotch and Soda - The Kingston Trio

[peacebuzzard]

82. "It's Impossible" Perry Como

[TrogL]

84. Turn me Loose
