If you could chose a theme for yourself what would it be ?

[MaxJoker]

Now i`m talking about the tune which would either best sum you up or is something that might help you become the person you want to be. Oh and when i say theme i`m really talking about an intro the sort of thing boxers have playing before they enter the ring , only you`d have it start in real life whenever you wished it.

Me i`d go for the Halloween theme , but orchestrated much more grandiose .Sort of similar in depth to the theme of The Black Hole , something guaranteed to send even the toughest of hoodies back to their sand pit .

"Do`ya mind if i cut in ? "

Ok the public have spoken , well eleven members did and said nothing . But who could blame them, lets be honest here and lay our nuts on the table, this thread idea was ill conceived and still-born at birth .

Hey we all make mistakes , mine was in believing other members had theme tunes lodged in their heads :o

Please somebody contact the relevant powers and put this thread out of it's misery , i just , i just can't do it myself :(

Hold your horsepower there, Oh Green One, and curb your impatience. Some of us just don't think very fast. That's all. I have lots of theme tunes lodged in my skull. I've got the short list down to five. If this thread hasn't been nuked by then, I'll get back to it this evening.

Personally i can't stand my impatience , i always just wish i`d get over it quicker .

S`ok Atreus the Governor just called , looks like there`s still time for an appeal . Also glad to read i`m not alone with my mental drums beats , almost as glad as i`ll be when you post your top five :cool:

Mine being

1) Halloween
2) The Warriors
3) The Godfather
4) Vertigo
5) Once Upon a Time in the West

As for the arrow thing well it beats me ? , i just like it because well you've seen the colour right :D

Ah, you didn't say I could post my top five. BTW I lied. My short list was seven. That makes it so much easier. Here are the six, in no particular order, that almost made it.

(1) The Soldier's Chorus from Faust. I just like it and it reminds me of my long dead mother who used to sing the filthiest words to it I've ever heard -and her a good catholic girl too!

(2) The Overture from the Mikado. Gotta love those drums.

(3) The Theme from Eastenders. Again brilliant dramatic use of the drums. More English people recognise this tune than their own national anthem so it would hardly set me apart from the crowd. I have no connection with London and I've never watched an episode of Eastenders in my life and don't intend to. Its significance to me is that it's the only soap that Aerope watches. When I hear that tune I know I can escape undisturbed to the study and see who's doing what and with what and to whom in VEF.

(4) El Dorado. Great title song from a great movie starring the greatest cowboy actor there's ever been. She wore a Yellow Ribbon came under consideration for similar reasons.

(5) Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. Because I try to.

(6) Paint It Black. Because I don't always succeed.

But the winner by a short head is Jupiter. Jupiter is the bringer of jollity and, if there's one thing that this world is short of, it's joy. I can be a grumpy old sod at the best of times and I think if I had a theme tune like this to live up to, it would make me a nicer person. It's a great piece of music too.

Thinking up a user name and finding an avatar I found simple. By comparison, deciding on a theme tune was really hard. I wonder if we'll be the only two contributors to this thread.

PS You're not the bloke in the next cell are you?

[MaxJoker]

You lied !!! , excuse me i need time to pull myself together (But then that`s the trouble with blue-tack attached bones)

Now that`s better ,well actually there's no limit to the number of theme tunes you could have , as hey there is never be no rules on these my threads ( Apart from those already there etc ) not even ones of grammar !

Hmmm so seven now eh ( Mightily decent choice for number one ) ,think i`ll bump up my tally

6) Local Hero
7) Jaws
8) Stop making sense
9) Dune
10) Ghost World ( End Credits )

Ok so there`s ten and i like them all , for the singular reason that they`re able to divert my thoughts off transient reality into fixed memory . Well the here and now can be such a dank place i find leaving it can be occasionally beneficial to my warped psyche .

Maybe your right and we`ll be the only two on this stunningly original thread ? , which`ll be a shame really .As there`s a prize draw for contributors at the end of the year and given that as organizer i can't enter ? , well lets just say it might lose some of it's excitement value .

'Now We Are Free' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS9REY1H0pY) from Gladiator.

[VallesMarineris]

not necessarily all movie soundtracks here,
but these are the ones i could use:

'Mars, the Bringer of War' (ELP 1985 Cover version) -
i play this one in work all of the time,
just to let the Top Brass know that their messengers of Satan will lose,
against Mars.

Page's Violin Bow/Guitar section of 'Dazed and Confused'
from the Soundtrack to:
'The Song Remains the Same'
(Original 1976 Release... yeah i got the new version, not as good),

'Funeral for a Friend' Elton,

'Go to Hell' Alice Cooper.

title song 'Johhny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed' Thin Lizzy,

title song 'War Child' Jethro Tull,

'The Ballad of Danny Bailey' Elton.

[Estreeter]

One of two Springsteen songs.
"Born To Run" or "Thunder Road".
I'd have to flip a coin to decide which

[shagger]

Born in the usa's a classic tune, its up there with eye of the tiger!

[MaxJoker]

The theme and in fact lead character that best sums me up day to day .Not just because i killed my entire family , got institutionalized , stopped speaking , got taught how to drive by an orderly , escaped and went on the hunt for my one surviving family member ,or have been shot and burnt by a doctor either .As that`s merely coincidence .

Halloween

The Sweeney theme tune...the 1970s, loosen your kipper tie pour yourself a large whiskey and tell your bird to SHUT IT!

[marlon]

Hmmmmm, for me? How about..

Theme from Hawaii 5-0,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgPlu84kqD4



;)

[edgarcasey]

The music written by Bernard Herrmann for the Martin Scorsese film Taxi Driver is, beyond any doubt, some of the most beautiful I've ever heard. The theme I choose for myself is that mesmerizing alto sax melody, which winds its way throughout the film. Elegant, sublime, hopeful, poignant and affecting, with just a hint of the lonliness at the heart of the film, the kind of lonliness (and despair) I sometimes feel. What an ineffable piece of writing by Herrmann, who died in 1975, on the night he completed the score. His score was nominated for an Academy Award, and it will continue to live on in our hearts and minds. The film itself won an Academy Award for best picture, but it wouldn't have been nearly as great without this music, which is all at once tender and profound.

[bc_rich]

Mmmmm Bernard Herrmann, that guy was just brilliant.
How 'bout the James Bond theme.

[Futuro]

My theme is "Pursuit of the pimpmobile" by Isaac Hayes (R.I.P) , from
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5VfmpV7tMo
Another one must be the theme from Jacques Tati`s film "Mr. Hulot`s holiday".

[MaxJoker]

This threads more or less died on it`s arse , which was expected as they can`t all be decent , or at least 99 percent of them can`t :o

Anyway have decided on yet another theme for myself , although that of course is subject to change at any given time . Still it`s just an excuse to post some slightly off the wall spooky tunes , so all good clean fun really :D

The one I'm using now is covered up

Maybe something like Harry Nillson's Jump Into The Fire. Launch the sucker and see if it floats.


And today (4/24) I had the revelation that it should be the Beavis and Butthead theme song. Usually I only need to hear or think of that little ticka-ticka-ticka before the guitar starts up to gain a smile.

[Ace1965]

"Fade to Black" from Metallica's Ride The Lightning album.

"Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself
But it's too late
Now I can't think
Think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though
It never existed
Death greets me warm
Now I will just say goodbye"
