What's your theme song?

[sugarfreecandy]

Okay, I know we've had some threads about favourite music in the past, but I thought this might be fun... What I want to know is: what song(s) best encapsulate your identity? If you had to pick one or two songs that would be the theme songs for your life at the moment, what would they be? And... this is the fun part... From what you know about the other Pixies' members, is there any song that you think could be a theme song for them? Or is there a song that would be a perfect theme song for the whole group of us?

For example:

My theme song for today would have to be Ani Difranco's song "Pixie" (hmmm, isn't that nicely ironic, considering where I'm posting this?)... Here's an excerpt:

"I’m a pixie / I’m a paper doll / I’m a cartoon / I’m a chipper, cheerful free-for-all / And I light up a room / I’m the Colour-me-happy Girl / Miss Live-and-let-live / And when they’re out for blood / I always give // ... // Maybe you don’t like your job / Maybe you didn’t get enough sleep / Well nobody likes their job / Nobody got enough sleep / Maybe you just had the worst day of your life / You know there’s no escape, there’s no excuse / So just suck up, suck up, and be nice / Be nice (6x) ..."

As for the theme song for another member, earlier today I had a sudden and inexplicable urge to get out my Alanis Morissette albums and came across the song "(I'm a) Bitch" --- and immediately thought of our dear Lilith. (In the best possible way, of course!) :D

"I'm a bitch, I'm a lover / I'm a child, I'm a mother / I'm a sinner, I'm a saint / I do not feel ashamed / I'm your hell, I'm your dream / I'm nothing in between / You know you wouldn't want it any other way // I'm a bitch, I'm a tease / I'm a goddess on my knees / When you hurt, when you suffer / I'm your angel undercover / I've been numbed, I'm revived / Can't say I'm not alive / You know I wouldn't want it any other way."

To give another example, whenever I hear the songs "Ponerte en Cuatro" or "El Disco Anal" by the Venezuelan acid jazz-slash-dance group Los Amigos Invisibles, I think of our very own Ass Man Extraordinaire, Aquaman... I won't post the lyrics for those songs because they're all in Spanish, but the rather inexplicable music videos are on the band's site at http://www.amigosinvisibles.com/newsound.html. (I should point out that the lyrics are actually quite sweet and have relatively little to do with the steamy titles --- it's mainly the titles of the songs that make me think of Aqua...) In fact, most of the band's titles --- such as "Sexy", "Porno Song", and "Masturbation Session" --- would make great Pixies' theme songs! :o

A couple of final examples: One for Leigh, thinking back to her strip poker thread, would be Tom Jones' "You Can Leave Your Hat On"... A song for the whole Pixies' gang might be "Sex Machine" by James Brown.

So c'mon, everyone, tell me: when you're listening to the radio, what song captures you? And what song conjures up the fondest memories of this site and the people on it?

[mindboxer505]

Three stooges theme!!!!!!

[Lilith]

Meredith Brooks....'I'm a Bitch'....... works for me:D

[xanne]

For the pixies gang, I think "You sexy thing" by Hot Chocolate fits really well.

I believe in miracles
Where you from
You sexy thing
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing

Miracles right before my eyes
You sexy thing got me hypnotised
Don't stop what ya' doing
What ya' doing to me

As for myself, I have always identified with "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks because I guess I don't put up with much crap and I stand up for what I believe in.

[blk cat]

Hello SugarFree,

FYI

You Can Leave Your Hat On


Is Joe Cocker's song from the movie Nine & a Half Weeks,

also his album Cocker,song was written by Randy Newman

[danziggy]

Boy this is a hard one.

I must say at the moment (prob due to Jack D and coke) it is Signs by Tesla ( not written by them though)

Cause i hate people shovin their opions down other peoples throat!!

But this will prob change as my mood changes!!

[sugarfreecandy]

Yep, I know, Meredith Brooks did Bitch first and Joe Cocker did Leave Your Hat On first as well --- I'm just going by my personal favourite recordings of those songs... And Xanne, i think Miracles would make a great theme song! But Mindboxer, I've got to ask though --- what makes you pick the Stooges song? (I guess it's a guy thing, as is everything with the Stooges... :rolleyes: )

Hmm.... I must be way too addicted to this place. The thought just crossed my mind to make a compilation cd of all the 'theme songs' picked by the members... Hey Lilith, when's the next Pixaholic meeting? I think I'm overdue for some group therapy! :o :p :D

--- sweetstuff

[mindboxer505]

This place ain't just about sex to me eventhough that's a large part of it.......it's about havein fun with others, jokinaround, flirtin with the folks here and just really entertaining each other with our different personalities.....so i thought of something kinda light and funny hence three stooges theme.........
and i and i still need that meeting schedule.....j u s t can't stop cumming to pixie's<sob sob> straight jacket please!!!!

[blk cat]

No problem with your choice Sugarfree,but i thought old welsh
Tom was before your time,or do you like the idea of throwing
your knickers at him

[blk cat]

For all the Pixie Ladies who had a negative response to
LoveDivas Did you get lucky last night maybe

SOME DAY MY PRINCE WILL CUM

[danziggy]

i have to agree with mindboxer

This place ain't just about sex to me eventhough that's a large part of it.......it's about havein fun with others, jokinaround, flirtin with the folks here and just really entertaining each other with our different personalities

ive only been here since monday and i cant get enough!! everyone gets on so great. its just a fantistic place to be a part of!!!!!!:D :D :D

[Glyndwr]

I think theme tunes are like moods and change with the soundtrack of your life at the time.

This week I have been mainly Queen - Who wants to live forever.
Also U2 - Desire

A theme for pixie-holics could be Both sides now by Elaine Paige, Julie Covington, Paul Young & Clannad (my favourite version) etc etc

But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,
from win and lose, and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.

[sugarfreecandy]

Yeah, that's a great tune choice, Glyndwr --- though I think the real title is "Clouds" and the original is by Joni Mitchell (I could be wrong... wasn't born when it was written... :rolleyes: )... And I couldn't agree more with you that theme songs are all about moods, they change frequently and often (in my case anyway) without warning! In fact... I think my current theme song choice --- despite what I said about K.D. Lang & "Constant Craving" in the Pixaholics thread --- would have to be the old jazz standard, "You're getting to be a habit with me"! :D

I'm also in complete agreement with Mindboxer and Danziggy that this place is about far more than sex... I love the friendships (flirtatious and otherwise) that I've been able to establish here... From that perspective maybe I'd choose a song like "Come Together" (by the Beatles, of course) for the overall Pixies' theme...

--- sweetstuff

P.s. Blk cat --- yes, Tom Jones is a wee bit older than me, but if you've noticed, my taste in music has very little to do with my age... I was raised listening to the Beatles, John Lee Hooker, and Louis Armstrong every bit as much as Sharon, Lois, and Bram, Eric Nagler, Fred Penner, Raffi, and the rest............. Oooh, speaking of Johnny Lee, his version of "I'm in the Mood for Love" with Bonnie Raitt would be an awesome Pixies' theme as well, don't you think? Anyway, besides: Tom Jones may be a little old (to me, LOL) but it doesn't take too much convincing to get me to start throwing my knickers about! ;)

[danziggy]

well throw them at me. i'll catch them!!!

[jay]

mine would have to be where is my mind by the pixies hmm weird how that happened

[Wicked Wanda]

"I'm a bitch, I'm a tease, I'm a goddess on her knees"
Yeah works for me too.
Or anything by Billie Holiday.


Wickedly,

WW

[ASH]

For my theme songs I have to go a little more recent. One would be "Why Georgia" by John Mayer(who is an amazing singer/songwriter if you haven't heard of him yet)and another would have to be "Beautiful" by Joydrop. Also, like most of the chicks on the site, I would have to pick Meredith Brooks "Bitch". On the topic of the Pixie's theme; well, that will take a little more thought.

[Oldfart]

Babe theme

"If I had words to make a day for you,

I'd build you a morning golden and new.

I would make this day last for all time,

And fill the night deep with moonshine."

Camille Saint-Saens

[scotzoidman]

My theme song? Hmmm.... probably Steve Earle's "I Ain't Ever Satisfied".... kinda sums me up...

[bunny_girl]

Its so hard to pick 1 song that sums me up. I'm a big fan of the beatles and one of my favorite songs is Blackbird

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All you life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free"

[Ophelia]

hmmmm...that's a tough question...

Over the years, I've had several theme songs! I suppose my friends would tell you that I always say "this is my theme song" when I hear either "Baby got back" or "Brickhouse". If we're talking about songs that encompass me...

The Wood Song - Indigo Girls

"No way construction of this tricky plan
was built by other than a greater hand
with a love that passes all it's understanding
watching closely over the journey...yeah
but what it takes to cross the great divide
seems more than all the courage I can muster up inside
but we get have some answers when we reach the other side
the prize is always worth the rocky ride...
...sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look
skip to the final chapter of the book
and maybe steer us clear from some of the pain it took
to get us where we are this far....
...but the question drowns in it's futility
and even I have got to laugh at me
no one gets to miss the storm of what will be
just holdin' on for the ride...."

or

To Live is to Fly - The Cowboy Junkies

...I'm as soft as glass
your a gentle man
we got the sky to talk about and the world to lie upon
days up and down they come
like rain on a conga drum
forget most
remember some
but don't turn none away
everything is not enough
and nothing is too much to bear
where ya been is good and gone
all ya keeps the getting there
To live is to fly
low and high
so shake the dust off of your wings and the sleep out of your eye
Good bye to all my friends
it's time to go again
think of all the poetry and all the pickin' down the line
I'll miss the system here
the bottom's low and the trebles clear
it don't pay to think too much on the things you leave behind
I may be gone
but I won't be long
I'll be bringing back all the melodies and all the rythms that I find"

Ophelia

[mindboxer505]

[Wicked Wanda]

Another possible theme song, but I don't know the singer/writer, "I Want To Be Seduced". Heard it in a movie on cable, had a YOUNG Richard Dreyfuss in it. He was playing a hippie detective.

"Wanting to be seduced... a lot!!"

WW

[legend]

what about "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails

if anyone know this song, they'll know what i mean :D

[Radies]

hell yeah legend!!!

I have to say that Dr. Worm by They Might Be Giants is my theme :-D

[mindboxer505]

ok ok i've found mine!!!!!!!! this is not an insinuation of the beautiful women here......just a fun song............
don't know who sings it(hank williams jr i think??)
it goes.. '' I like my women just a little on the trashy side,
when the wear their clothes to tight and their hair to wild,
to much lipstick and a toomuch rouge gets me excited and
gets me feeling confused,
I like my women just a little on the Trashy Side!!!!!!!!!''

[Eros]

Hmmm...theme song...that's a good question...how about

"Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw?"~Jimmy Buffett...

LOL..just kidding...actually..right now my perfect theme song is

"I'm In Over My Head" ~ Lit

pretty much sums up life in general for me..lol

[ASH]

i have to go with legends for the pixie theme. that song kicks ass. that is my favorite song to dance to. the background beat makes for some great ass-shaking.

Well then I'll tell you that I think you're getting better on the drums...

[Lovediva]

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Depend on how the wind blows, I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But I learn to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
The India Arie

When I look in the mirror the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where its supposed to be
And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes
I'm lovin what I see

Chorus

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows
But I've drawn a conclusion, It's all an illusion
Confusion's the name of the game
A misconception, A mass deception
Something's gotta change
Don't be offended, this is all my opinion
Ain't nothin that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life-learned lesson
I was sent hear to share wit y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf Go on and love yourself
Cause everything's gonna be alright

Chorus

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive cars and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Christalle and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silly comb I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine


India Arie

[legend]

i think my theme song is "ADIDAS" by KoRn :D

[Lilith]

Diva~ The perfect choice, of course, my fav song these days...... just love her!

[Aqua]

ADIDAS... Very good choice legend!! For me that's just not enough, although it's very true! I just can't seem to think of one that really fits me...

[Christine]

I think my theme, right now, would have to be

"Older Women Are Beautiful Lovers"

[Sugarsprinkles]

Actually, MB, this is by Confederate Railroad...definitely not by Hank, Jr.! :D
It's one of my personal favorites......but I definitely don't consider myself a "trashy woman" LOL

[souls_cry2000]

I thought that these would be appropriate.

Usher--"U Got It Bad"

George Michael--"I Want Your Sex"

Genuwine--"Pony"

[Jizzlobber]

...Since it's almost Monday again, my theme song as always will be "Welcome To The Working Week" by Elvis Costello...as for theme songs in general I'd have to say mine is "Jesus Sings The Blues" by Junkhouse...it kind of sums everything up for me at the moment...

[raraa]

i think whats suits me today is "i believe i can fly" by r kelly
what do u guys ang girls think
