Truthfully I have had several theme songs through the years. I am sure all of you did. You hear a song and you think ahh that’s me!

When I was a kid, In my room by the Beach Boys..(There was 6 kids in the house and my room was the only place where I could get away from it all) then I went through the love them and leave them time so my theme song was “What’s love got to do with it”…then I met my x…and it became “Said I loved you but I lied” by Michael Bolton…Then he became the @!#@$$ x and he kept coming around to torment me so my them song became “I will survive” by Donna Summer…….

Sooooooooo that leaves me with now, I am not ready for “those were the days my friend” …no not yet…So right now seeing that I am into ghost hunting it’s “Casper’s theme song” for now until I find something that fits better.

"I Feel It All" by Feist is

"I Feel It All" by Feist is a great theme song for me. It's extremely upbeat and makes me want to dance with my arms in the air. Plus the lyrics "I feel it all, I feel it all, my wings are wide, my wings are wide, wild card inside, wild card inside" make me think I should just live life in the moment and feel free to just be, to let go of all worries and insecurities. Here's the Feist video link, I think it shows the spirit of the song.

"You Only Live Once" by The Strokes. The lyrics are a bit abstract, but all kind of relate to the title in some way -- basically saying there are all kinds of things in this world that can leave you disillusioned, but you can choose to walk right past them and maintain your own good vibe, sort of espousing a live-and-let-live attitude. And the music is amazing -- the saucy beat and good-time attack of the band really lift you up. I don't know if there's such a thing as a skip-strut, but that's what the song makes me want to do. Check out the whimsical video.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: my theme song is “Theme From ‘Shaft’” by Isaac Hayes. (I wrote about it here: http://www.jordannews.com/node/2575.) The great instrumental intro, the awesome almost spoken word lyrics, that part where the ladies interrupt Hayes with “Shut your mouth!” and he responds with “I’m only talkin’ ‘bout Shaft,” and then they say “We can dig it” – all classic lines in this classic song. I don't know about spring in my step, but it sure gives me confidence.

Runner up would have to be “Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees, because you can tell by the way I use my walk I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk.

Last night I succumbed to the Diamond – I bought a three-CD set of Neil’s first solo recordings. In my defense, it was used, and it is awesome. “I am, I said,” addicted.

Duran Duran was another band

Duran Duran was another band really locked into the synth/'80s sound, not to mention to the over-the-top fashion style of the time, but for some reason they sound better to me now than 20-plus years ago. But I wouldn't want my friends to know that.

I kinda like the soundtrack

Brandon — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:12:35 -0600

I kinda like the soundtrack of “Xanadu,” with songs by Olivia Newton-John and Electric Light Orchestra. Aw, heck, I’ll come right out and say it – I like pretty much all of the output of the synth-heavy ELO, regardless of how powerfully uncool it makes me. And Newton-John isn't always bad, either.

Cracklin Rosie, get on

Cracklin Rosie, get on board... I LOVE me a little Neil Diamond and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

ReneeF — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 09:06:24 -0600

The problem with my "guilty pleasure" music is that i readily admit having bad taste in music (and being stuck in a time warp). i had a print out of the lyrics to Copa Cabana hanging in my cube for a few years ... everytime i looked at them i got a huge smile on my face and chair-danced as the song played in my head. (now, that part is emabarassing to admit)

After I proposed to my darling wife, we heard "All You Need is Love" playing from a nearby bar along a Lake Michigan boardwalk. Still get chills from that.

The Pixies Reunion show at the Fine Line had many goosebump inducing moments, but my favorite was "Where is My Mind". At the end of the song, the whole crowd was singing the oo-oo ooo's and it was just amazing to be there.

"Bitter Sweet Symphony" by

jennyjean4 — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 12:40:40 -0600

"Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve is one song that consistantly delivers the chills. It starts off so repetitive, but then "BAM!" the full symphony kicks in and it's beautiful and perfect in dynamics and timing. Whenever I hear that song - whatever mood I'm in, wherever I'm at - I will get goosebumps - it's inevitable.
