Did you ever have a theme song? I mean a song that seemed connected to you

[The Polack MSgt]

in a certain place, for a definite period of time?

The summer between my Jr and Sr year in high school seemed to feature this song.

It wasn't even a big hit but it was on the jukeboxes of all the places I went.

So along with a bunch of Kansas, Eagles, the Who and whatnot, I heard this song -often. Can't for the life of me figure out why this obscure song seemed to be playing so often that summer.

2. Paul Kantner spoke/sang for me back in the day...

Paul Kantner Jefferson Starship - Mau Mau (Amerikon)

...a long time ago, in a galaxy that is still far far away.

3. The first one that came to mind was this

I bartended at a hole in the wall biker bar for a couple years and it seemed like this song was everywhere. It got played on the jukebox at least once a night. The bar was indeed full of whiskey and bad cocaine, and the nasty, oily groove fit the bar’s atmosphere.

4. As kids, we all thought this song was badass. It became my late-night road song in an ill-fated

career transporting product up from Miami.

5. Every time I hear about somebody

having "their song" - I think of this:

6. Meatloaf-All Revved Up and No Place to Go. I was a varsity tackle and a hell of a

block, as the song says. I didn't play guitar so good, but I did play for awhile.

Bat out of Hell was probably the huge album for my class of '79 crowd. Boston was a close second, but it had been out for quite awhile longer.

7. Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine

8. On the Sunnyside of the Street

sung by Willie Nelson was the theme for my first love all those years ago.

14. I Played That Song In A Jazz Competition

It was in the improv section. There were 4 songs on the list. Had to pick one of them, but didn't see the list until 10 minutes before our turn on stage. Had basic charts, just chord changes & the treble cleft.
Had to figure out substitutions, key changes, melodic embellishments in 10 minutes, with no practice.
Then, go on stage & do it.
I knew the song in my head pretty well, but that section of the competition is really hard.
And, we had to do it twice, if we made top 6.
I was 15 at the time, and I've always carried a fondness for that song. 49 years later!

9. Yes, I had a theme song.

I had a bilateral mastectomy and the reconstruction was so botched! I was in pain for 24/7 and at serious risk from the non-stop staph infections for 6 months. I thought I was going to die. My theme song was Lenny Kravitz's I Want to Get Away. I just sang that song over and over through my tears. It totally got unbearable, I fought with the doc several times, and I went to his office and forced his hand to remove the infected implant. I will often back down to keep the peace, but not this time, dealing with my 3rd infection. I refused to leave and started talking really loudly about how horrible this was anytime someone came for an appointment. After 1 person had left and the 2nd one looked like she was going to, they finally caved and I received the care I was so desperately needing.

Glad you made it through and happy to know ya Lark

12. Thanks MSgt, this is indeed a good one.

I am a very stubborn and determined woman and I think I made it through on sheer willpower. You and the other good people on this board really helped me during those dark days, even when you didn't know it. Good to know you as well!!

Happy 4th.
