Curio,
What a brainworm you chose. I'm outside working on the lawn and all I can hear in my head is "My name is Loretta, but I prefer Lottie........
La la la la la la la........ All god's creatures they got to die.....
I'm going to have to listen to chumba wumba and try to get it out of my head.

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

Cockney Rebel was truly amazing and innovative at their time. I've got only their "The Human Menagerie" album of which I like "Fade Away", "Sebastian" and "Death Trip" the most. "Make me smile" also makes me  

Tom,
Is that a rock and roll clarinet I hear in the Soft Cell tune? I haven't heard that since Frank Zappa. Remember Montana?

I'm not sure that it is a rock and rock clarinet. The clarinet player is the Jazz musician Dave Tofani.  Frank Zappa, I mainly know from his bestselling "Sheik Yerbouti" album. Somehow, I liked him more for his lyrics than for his music.

Absolutely and 100% it's "When Doves Cry" and it gets pumped and the windows get rolled down!  



Although I disagree, I've heard doves and they sound nothing like that.  It's still my jam though.

I dont think I have a "theme" song. But one of my all time favourites is watcher in the sky by Iron savior. The lyrics match so much of one of my comic characters...
I also cant stop headbanging at hail and kill from manowar.
To mother earth \
and
Real world from gama ray are also favourites
I have many songs that I love, I cant list them all

[Hitsumei]

This is a good song too:

Mine would have to be "Stand by Me"

I've always loved the song...Ben E King was the man.

[Recusant]

I love rock, but...

 So What

(The only problem is that most normal computer speakers don't really do justice to Paul Chambers' great bass playing.)

you just need a pair of good earphones,
 Miles Davis is fantastic!
Jazz is such an amazing genre of music, good pick

Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Take Five"

and

Talking Head's "Once in a lifetime"

"Same as it ever was, same as it ever was"

[MommaSquid]

and

Talking Head's "Once in a lifetime"

"Same as it ever was, same as it ever was"

I finally bought that CD yesterday!   'Take Five' is such a beautiful, relaxing song.

I've heard other versions of "Take Five" but if I can't listen to the original, the version by George Benson is also lovely.

[Caligula's Ghost]

Wow.

The question was a little more complex for me the more I thought about it.  I've always been pleased that my taste and range was outside the norm.  I don't listen to the radio or let MTV dictate who I am or what I should be.  I've heard so many great songs, so many that I've forgotten either the lyrics or the artist.  

Crazy.

So here goes, a little piece of music that I would consider my "theme song"...

There were so many other songs that I would consider choice 1a, 1b and so on.  So I'll share some with you:

[spoiler:4wie6aud]Now you all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
No one should ask you for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And you're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarfs and men
And elves
Come close your eyes
You can see them too[/spoiler:4wie6aud]

This song strikes a chord with me.

i changed my color for you
i shed my coat with caution
i lack the beauty you display
see here there are the bruises
and some were self-inflicted
and some showed up along the way
so i nod my head
im ready for the world to see
the secret i kept here inside the man you thought I'd be
slip into coma calm
the coma where i calm myself down
here comes excuses why i let you down

stand by for another breakdown
sound off the alarm
is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldn't become
chameleon boy
chameleon boy

so now we've come upon the hardest thing i've ever done
it's telling you that I'm a mess
what sort of mess i mean
is self-destructive gasoline
the kind that strips you of your best
and while i play instead the way that most would end up dead
you sleep alone at home and wish that i was in our bed
with this i'm telling you
my color changes back to blue
how do i ask you this
will you help me through

stand by for another breakdown
sound off the alarm
is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldn't become
stand by for another breakdown
sound off the alarm
is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldn't become
chameleon boy
chameleon boy

i try to think of all the people i look up to
or growing up who would i be
now the twisted part
where didd all my idols end up
they all passed away
passed away

stand by
its chameleon boy
stand by
its chameleon boy
Chameleon Boy
I'm chameleon boy...
chameleon boy...
