After I'd seen the "For My Brother" video on this forum, I bought all albums of Blue October. They are awesome! BTW my favorite song from the "History for Sale" album is Razorblade.

Called the art of growing up
There's an innocence we look for in the stars
To be taken back to younger days
When there was no giving up
On the people we held closest to our hearts

Yeah it is you that I remember in that glowing
It is you that took my first away from me
It is you I set my standards to... to every walk of life
I haven't met another you since you were with me.

(Chorus) A brief bout with a razorblade cut me
I freaked out, thinking people didn't love me
I watched closely as the you I knew forgot me
In letting go, I am so proud of what I've done

In a way, I failed religion
I spit the wine from mouth to cup
And I reached for something more than just your God
Uncle, you spared not your children
And while your praying hands are up
There's no forgiveness for you! You sick fuck!

It is you that I remember in their bedroom
It is you that took their first away from them
It is you they set their standards to
You wounded them for life
You were a preacher and suppose to be above men

Sing with me
(Chorus)A brief bout with a razorblade cut me
I freaked out, thinking people didn't love me
I watched closely as the you I knew forgot me
In letting go, I am so proud of what I've done

[Caligula's Ghost]

I saw "The Spirit" again today and I totally forgot about this song.  This one would be in the Top 10 for my theme songs:

Hmmm
Split Enz. Nobody takes me seriously

Nobody listens to a word that I say
And at work I'm just a foremans tool
Sitting in the corner with my coffee & tray
All the secretaries think I'm a fool

I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Haven't I the right to say
I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway

Loves not a glimpse, it's a permanent rinse
And it keeps you on your toes all day
Every girl I met seemed to get apathetic
When I looked at her that special way

I can't get nobody else to take me for real
They like to keep me tucked away
Even if they listened to what I had to say
Nobody'd take me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway

If war broke out I'd be the last one to know
If there was a fire they'd just leave me to burn
I got just as much to say as any man
But I never seem to get my turn

I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Haven't I the right to say
I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway

(Nobody takes me seriously)
Nobody.. no, no, no-nobody...

Hmmm
Split Enz. Nobody takes me seriously

Their "True Colours" album is still one of my favorite albums from the eighties. Absolutely magnificent! I bought the laser etched LP in 1980 and I still can't get enough of it.

[templeboy]

awesome! What are your other enzy favourites?

First time I heard about Spliz Enz was (I think) in 1978, when they toured the UK and Europe. They'd brought out their Dizrythmia album, which was not so well received over here. But, they made a great impression as a life band and received a lot of attention, mainly due to the funny hairdos, make-up and costumes. At that time  didn't really know what to make of it. I lost interest, until they brought out their "True Colours" album. I'm also quite familiar with Tim Finn's solo album "Escapade" (my brother owns a copy of it), but somehow it wasn't convincing enough for me to explore the rest of the Split Enz "universe" at that time. My favorite songs are therefore all from the "True Colours" Album: "I got you", "Shark attack", "I hope I never", "Nobody takes me seriously", "Poor boy"and "Missing person".

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!  And I thought I was the only person on earth who remembers Split Enz.  I still have my "laser etched" album!

Yes, that would be a runner-up for me.

Another person!?!  Woohoo!  The Enz will never die.  LOL!

It was "I Got You" that hooked me but I fell in love with the whole album.  During that time of my life, every song on that album could have been my theme song...  I was also listening to Queen's "The Game" (Don't Try Suicide was my song... sad) and Squeeze.  Those 3 albums dominated my life.  Wow, haven't thought about that in ages!

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.

That's on our "way too catchy" playlist.  LOL!  So addictive...

[quizlixx]

yes, yes, they're all random and are ones that i like.

That sure brings back some very good memories.

I'm reviving this thread because it has lots of cool music that I had forgotten about =). This isn't my theme song but it has been my favorite for a few months now. It's progressive / symphonic rock. It starts out a little heavy but actually isn't all that heavy overall. I like that they have a mini-orchestra in the studio with them. The singer has an amazing voice.

i find my self drunk and dancing (by dancing i mean i dance like a drowning fat kid swims) to the US Bombs Locked In My Skin.

  Locked in my skin
This habit costs a lot
Substance and abuse is fucking rough
This body's hard to haul around with nothing in my skin
It's twice as hard once I put something in
It's only entertainment
Till we get to the next gig
It's way too hard to live locked in my skin

Locked in my skin
I can't sit around and read a book
The pages always shaking way too much
Locked in my skin, it's a prison
From within
There ain't no escape except getting sick
Stop the entertainment 'til
We get to the next gig
It's way too hard to live
Locked in my skin

Locked in my skin

http://www.sailorsgraverecords.com/radio/ <-- you can find the song here..    and you to can get real drunk and dance around to it, or any other US Bombs song. cause they fuckin rock...

Hell yeah! That's a nice choice.

My personal theme tune would probably be Window Licker by Aphex Twin. It's a crazy tune. I'm not crazy though. I'm a fan of contrast.

As a linguist I have a particular softspot for this one  

Wordplay - Jason Mraz

I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this ge-generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top,
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

Ha La La La La
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
Ha La La La La
It's all about the wordplay
Ha La La La love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops,
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay

Ha La La La La
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
Ha La La La La
It's all about the wordplay
Ha La La La love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

Well I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness
That always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the rhymin' and the timin'
Keeps the melodies inside me
And they're climbin'
'Till I'm running out of air
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
Are you listening to a single word I've said?

Ha La La La La
Listen closer to the words I say
Ha La La La La
I'm Stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

I like the combination of death metal and opera style female lead singer. "The Bluish Shade" by Aesma Daeve.
