Name Your Theme Song Thread

Not just athletes and Presidents should have a theme song played as they walk in a room. If you could have a theme song, what would it be? Possibly not your all-time fav, possibly it is.

 

I took off for a weekend last month

Just to try and recall the whole year.

All of the faces and all of the places,

wonderin' where they all disappeared.

I didn't ponder the question too long;

I was hungry and went out for a bite.

Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum,

and we wound up drinkin' all night.

 

It's those changes in latitudes,

changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same.

With all of our running and all of our cunning,

If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.

 

[Chorus:]

These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes,

Nothing remains quite the same.

Through all of the islands and all of the highlands,

If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

 

Reading departure signs in some big airport

Reminds me of the places I've been.

Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure

Makes me want to go back again.

If it suddenly ended tomorrow,

I could somehow adjust to the fall.

Good times and riches and son of a b****es,

I've seen more than I can recall

 

[Chorus]

 

I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine,

I wish I could jump on a plane.

And so many nights I just dream of the ocean.

God, I wish I was sailin' again.

Oh, yesterdays are over my shoulder,

So I can't look back for too long.

There's just too much to see waiting in front of me,

and I know that I just can't go wrong

with these...

 

[Chorus]

Pink Floyd

 

The lyrics have no real meaning, but if I were an athlete I'd have them play this song.

"Comfortably Numb"

 

Hello,

Is there anybody in there

Just nod if you can hear me

Is there anyone at home

Come on now

I hear you're feeling down

I can ease your pain

And get you on your feet again

Relax

I'll need some information first

Just the basic facts

Can you show me where it hurts

 

There is no pain, you are receding

A distant ship smoke on the horizon

You are coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I had a fever

My hands felt just like two balloons

Now I've got that feeling once again

I can't explain, you would not understand

This is not how I am

I have become comfortably numb

 

O.K.

Just a little pin prick

There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!

But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?

I do believe it's working, good

That'll keep you going through the show

Come on it's time to go.

 

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child

I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown

The dream is gone

And I have become

Comfortably numb.

No major reason, other than it just sort of summarizes everything. But I would pick the Rolling Stones, "You can't always get what you want."

 

No, you can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

And if you try sometime you find

You get what you need

 

I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she was gonna meet her connection

At her feet was her footloose man

 

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes you might find

You get what you need

 

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...

 

And I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration

If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

Sing it to me now...

 

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes well you just might find

You get what you need

Oh baby, yeah, yeah!

 

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

And man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor, cherry red

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy

Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"

I said to him

 

You can't always get what you want, no!

You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)

You can't always get what you want (no)

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You get what you need

Oh yes! Woo!

 

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!

Oh yeah!

 

I saw her today at the reception

In her glass was a bleeding man

She was practiced at the art of deception

Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

 

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You just might find

You get what you need

 

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You just might find

You get what you need, ah yes...

Did you see The Big Chill? That song (Can't Always Get What You Want) was hilariously played at the funeral  :lolhitting

 

Nope never saw it...But it would be a good funeral song (or wedding song...)....

im just a kid-Simple Plan

 

I woke up it was seven

Waited till eleven

Just to figure out that no one would call

I think ive got a lot of friends but I dont hear from them

Whats another night all alone?

When your spending everyday on your own

 

And here it goes

 

Chorus:

Im just a kid and life is a nightmare

Im just a kid I know that is not fair

Nobody cares

Cuz im alone and the world is having more fun than me

 

And maybe when the night is dead

Ill crawl into my bed

Staring at these four walls again

Ill try to think about the last time

I had a good time

Everyones got somewhere to go

And there gonna leave me here on my own

 

And here it goes

 

Chorus:

Im just a kid and life is a nightmare

Im just a kid I know that is not fair

Nobody cares

Cuz im alone and the world is having more fun than me

 

What the f*** is wrong with me dont fit in with anybody

How did this happen to me

Wide awake im bored and i cant fall asleep

And everynight is the worst night ever

 

Im just a kid

Im just a kid

Im just a kid

Im just a kid

Im just a kid

 

Chorus:

Im just a kid and life is a nightmare

Im just a kid i know that its not fair

Nobody cares cuz im alone and the world is

Nobody wants to be alone in the world

 

Im just a kid and life is a nightmare

Im just a kid i know that its not fair

Nobody cares cuz im alone and the world is

Nobody wants to be alone in the world

Nobody cares cuz im alone and the world is having more fun than me

 

Tonight im all alone

Tonight nobody cares

Tonight

Cuz im just a kid tonight

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AND

 

Perfect-Simple Plan

Hey Dad look at me

Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according

To plan?

And do you think I’m wasting

My time doing things I

Wanna do?

But it hurts when you

Disapprove all along

 

 

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I’m never gonna be good

Enough for you

I can’t pretend that

I’m alright

And you can’t change me

 

 

‘Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

Now it’s just too late

And we can’t go back

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

 

 

I try not to think

About the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be

My hero?

All the days

You spent with me

Now seem so far away

And it feels like you don’t

Care anymore

 

 

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I’m never gonna be good

Enough for you

I can’t stand another fight

And nothing’ alright

 

 

‘Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

Now it’s just too late

And we can’t go back

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

 

 

Nothing’s gonna change

The things that you said

Nothing’s gonna make this

Right again

Please don’t turn your back

I can’t believe it’s hard

Just to talk to you

But you don’t understand

 

 

‘Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

Now it’s just too late

And we can’t go back

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

 

 

‘Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect

Now it’s just too late

And we can’t go back

I’m sorry

I can’t be Perfect
