A Theme Song of My Very Own

Everyone has a theme song. You know, the song that would play during all your mobile moments in life. Walking down the street, riding your bike, running after the ice cream truck, whatever. I always thought mine would be the theme song to Sanford and Son. It has this dilapidated groove in which I can walk in sync and I find it oddly fitting with my lifestyle. Obvious "trashy" connotations aside; I dig the song and would be prone to drive a rickety pick up with a rocking chair in the back.

Recent events have led me to believe that the fates have a different theme in mind for me. Riding in Christopher's car over the past week a song has played with unusual frequency: Kenny Loggin's Highway to the Danger Zone. Mr. Loggins is not one to normally get a lot of air play but three out of four car rides this song has been on. Those are dentist statistics right there. Some celestial force is telling us something; I'd like to think that the message is that I am cool enough to have a naval pilot jam for my own life soundtrack. It could also be that Topher's ride is so sweet that it compares to a fighter jet. Of the two I'm not sure which. Anywho, this got me thinking about my life soundtrack so I decided to compile a list. Here it is:

1) Aforementioned Sanford and Son

2) The Joker-Steve Miller

3) 99 Luft Balloons-Nena

4) Walking on Sunshine- Katrina and the Waves

5) Heaven for the Weather- The Streets

6) Dance Magic Dance- David Bowie

7) She's Lost Control- Joy Division

8) Benny Hill Theme

9) What a Wonderful World- Sam Cook

10) Take on Me- Ah-Ha

11) Come on Eileen- Dexys Midnight Runners

12) Rainbow Connection- Kermit the Frog

13) Sabotage- Beastie Boys

14) Anything Dolly

Well there we go; my life set to music.
