hmmm... not sure I've got a themesong.

I'm all over the board when listening.

Everything except Country and Rap... ok, so I made an exception for Brad Paisley.

Still can't get into Rap or Hip-hop as much.

How about "Ding Dong Daddy" by Cherry Poppin' Daddies?

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads - 06 - Curse of Millhaven

Lyrics[spoiler:2i4lsavs]I live in a town called Millhaven
And it's small and it's mean and it's cold
But if you come around just as the sun goes down
You can watch the whole town turn to gold
It's around about then that I used to go a-roaming
Singing "La la la la La la la lie"
All God's children they all gotta die

My name is Loretta but I prefer Lottie
I'm closing in on my fifteenth year
And if you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green
Then you sure didn't see them around here
My hair is yellow and I'm always a-combing
La la la la La la la lie
Mama often told me we all got to die

You must have heard about The Curse Of Millhaven
How last Christmas Bill Blake's little boy didn't come home
They found him next week in One Mile Creek
His head bashed in and his pockets full of stones
Well, just imagine all the wailing and moaning
La la la la La la la lie
Even little Billy Blake's boy, he had to die

Then Professor O'Rye from Millhaven High
Found nailed to his door his prize-winning terrier
Then next day the old fool brought little Biko to school
And we all had to watch as he buried her
His eulogy to Biko had all the tears a-flowing
La la la la La la la lie
Even God's little creatures, they have to die

Our little town fell into a state of shock
A lot of people were saying things that made little sense
Then the next thing you know the head of Handyman Joe
Was found in the fountain of the Mayor's residence
Foul play can really get a small town going
La la la la La la la lie
Even God's children all have to die

Then, in a cruel twist of fate, old Mrs Colgate
Was stabbed but the job was not complete
The last thing she said before the cops pronounced her dead
Was, "My killer is Loretta and she lives across the street!"
Twenty cops burst through my door without even phoning
La la la la La la la lie
The young ones, the old ones, they all gotta die

Yes, it is I, Lottie. The Curse Of Millhaven
I've struck horror in the heart of this town
Like my eyes ain't green and my hair ain't yellow
It's more like the other way around
I gotta pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming
La la la la La la la lie
Sooner or later we all gotta die

Since I was no bigger than a weavil they've been saying I
was evil
That if bad was a boot that I'd fit it
That I'm a wicked young lady, but I've been trying hard lately
Oh, fuck it! I'm a monster! I admit it!
It makes me so mad my blood really starts a-going
La la la la La la la lie
Mama always told me that we all gotta die

Yeah, I drowned the Blakey kid, stabbed Mrs. Colgate, I admit
Did the handyman with his circular saw in his garden shed
But I never crucified little Biko, that was
two junior high school psychos
Stinky Bohoon and his friend with the pumpkin-sized head
I'll sing to the lot, now you got me going
La la la la La la la lie
All God's children have all gotta die

There were all the others, all our sisters and brothers
You assumed were accidents, best forgotten
Recall the children who broke through the ice on Lake Tahoo?
Everyone assumed the Warning signs had
followed them to the bottom
Well, they're underneath the house where I do quite a bit
of stowing
La la la la La la la lie
Even twenty little children, they had to die

And the fire of '91 that razed the Bella Vista slum
There was the biggest shit-fight this country's ever seen
Insurance companies ruined, land lords getting sued
All cause of wee girl with a can of gasoline
Those flames really roared when the wind started blowing
La la la la La la la lie
Rich man, poor man, all got to die

Well I confessed to all these crimes and they put me on
trial
I was laughing when they took me away
Off to the asylum in an old black Mariah
It ain't home, but you know, it's fucking better than jail
It ain't such bad old place to have a home in
La la la la La la la lie
All God's children they all gotta die

Now I got shrinks that will not rest with their endless
Rorschach tests
I keep telling them they're out to get me
They ask me if I feel remorse and I answer, "Why of course!
There is so much more I could have done if they'd let me!"
So it's Rorschach and Prozac and everything is groovy
Singing La la la la La la la lie
All God's children they all have to die

La la la la La la la lie
I'm happy as a lark and everything is fine

Singing La la la la La la la lie
Yeah, everything is groovy and everything is fine
Singing La la la la La la la lie
All God's children they gotta die[/spoiler:2i4lsavs]

Just can't get enough of lil' Lottie.

When I was younger, it was "Walkin' on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves.... more recently, though, it's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot.   :banna:

I don't have a theme song, per se...but any Def Leppard song that comes on the radio gets turned up.  I'm pretty much a classic rock listener.

Lately, this is my go-to pick-me-up song....

I think it might be Ironic by Alanis Morsette.  That's what came to mind when I read the OP.  But, I might change my mind later, there are a lot of songs I like or like the words to but I don't know the song name or singer.  

I really like Imagine by John Lennon but not sure if I would call it a "theme" song.  It's definitely at the top of my fav list.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

Chumba Wumba - Tub Thumping.  It was assigned to me by friends because because I've been knocked down, run over, or knocked out a ridiculous number of times but I always get back up again... eventually.

Crap!  Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the night.

AWWWWWWWWWWW YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH THEME SONGS :V
It doesn't come on the radio, but when doing work at home or in class while listening to music, I just gotta turn this baby way up.
[youtube:ds6jse9f]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZBQMJlVXyc[/youtube:ds6jse9f]

Buuuut when the radio station I listen to is playing (lol happyhardcore.com) I turn it up when this comes on.
Short compared to most songs in its genre, but it's pretty damn sweet once it gets to 0:44

I didn't know the non-American meaning of the word "pissing" when I first heard the song.  It made sense to me that the fella would be "pissing the night away" in the America way after drinking all that stuff.  Heck, give me a cider drink and a lager drink and I'll piss the night away - or at least six or so times.

Damnit, now I want a Magner's.

Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel video...

Wow, Tom. I thought I was the only Cockney Rebel fan in the world.


As I was going through my playlists, there is one song that makes an appearance in every one...
