I want my own soundtrack

Ghoulish Delight · 08-15-2005, 01:16 PM

File this under bizarre late-night Denny's ocurrances.

After the cemetary screening of "Strangers on a Train" on Saturday night, Zappp, Isaac, CP, and I went to Denny's for coffee and a bite. At the end of our meal, a man with copious dreadlocks tucked under a rastafari style knit hat walked by our table. But something about it was weird...then it hit me, there was a reggae song playing on the Denny's speakers at that exact moment! By some cosmic coincidence, this dude had his pressence announced by theme music from above.

Had us wondering what our theme music would be. Pathetically, we couldn't come up with any. I mean, there's plenty of music I like that I'd LIKE to be my theme music, but it's only meaningful to me. The question was more, if a stranger saw me walking by, what music would they expect based solely on my appearance? I'm wary of what the potential answer would be (and Lisa, if you say "the dreidel song", so help me...

)

What would your theme music be?

Having just watched Lost in Translation agian for the third time and thinking that I may be falling in love with Sophia Coppola - I think it would have to be the ambient loungy sounds of Air or similar EuroLounge bands. I feel I can fit that groove.

I'm enjoying J-pop at the moment, but I think those sounds are too extroverted for me. Likewise, I'd love to claim a contemporary Samba soundtrack, but I think I lack the suave sexiness to pull it off.

For you GD, I think I could easily hear a ska beat accompaniment to your look.

Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel
I don't know the words
Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel
I think it sounds absurd.

The first song that popped into my head for me was "Hey Big Spender" - even though it's a "man's" song. I just dig that crazy beat, yeah.

At Disneyland, it is Heffalumps and Woozles - which I quite like.

Perhaps, "Everybody Wants to be a Cat" would do.

For Not Afraid, I would pick a variety of Torch singers - Julie London comes first to mind, but I think it works best when wearing vintage inspired clothes.

Hey, I'll take that.

Every time I consider what my soundtrack would be, I grow afraid that I wouldn't like whatever it was.

And no, "Dear Prudence" doesn't fit me at all.

The theme from Match Game.

NA - Moon River, I get a totally Audrey Hepburn vibe whenever I see you
GD - Nelson Riddle's Route 66 theme. You always look like you should be driving around in a convertible.
CP - Powerhouse, very methodical and driven, probably a librarian thing. Oh, and its in a lot of Bugs Bunny cartoons.
€ - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, to complement your James Masonish good looks.
Tref - Albert Ketelbey's "In a Persian Market", performed by Wilbur de Paris.

Classic Travelling Music
Ridin' on a bus
Ridin' on a bus
Sittin' next to bums
Gets an open seat
Hope that isn't pee

Probably the soundtrack to The Elephant Man.

I don't get a soundtrack. I don't even exist in this story, since my presence at the event described in the O.P. was obliterated by referring to Isaac twice and me nonce.
