If you had a theme song... what would it be

Ah! This is wonderful -- there are some really good ones out there! Thank you to all of you. Let me know if you think of more!

Re: If you had a theme song... what would it be

Well, I don't know what, exactly, would be mine...

but I think the theme song from the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls would sum up my recent past rather nicely:

When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doing it for some doll.

When you spot a John waiting out in the rain
Chances are he's insane as only a John can be for a Jane.

When you meet a gent paying all kinds of rent
For a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal.

Call it sad, call it funny.
But it's better than even money
That the guy's only doing it for some doll.

Re: If you had a theme song... what would it be

and in answer to your original post GTBDF, it was Edie Brickell's "Circle"

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
on you touching ground with us.
But, I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems.
And I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems.

And being alone
is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
the best way to be.
When I'm by myself
nobody else can say goodbye.

Everything is temporary anyway.
When the streets are wet --
the color slip into the sky.
But I don't know why that means you and I are
- that means you and....
I quit -- I give up.
Nothin's good enough for anybody else it seems.
But I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems.

And being alone
is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
the best way to be.
When I'm by myself
nobody else can say...

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around.

And thanks for the link to listen to Van Halen's Right Now and see the video. What a neat site!

Re: If you had a theme song... what would it be

If you listen real close in the background of I Hope You Dance

Time is a wheel in constant motion pulling us along, who wants to wake up to the future wondering where that time has gone.

or something like that

Ooh, excellent choice, Diolla! Yes, a very poetic song. Here's a quickie link to the full lyrics.
