Your personal Theme Song...

My small experience with French-produced music, apart from classical, is Serge Gainsbourg, including the hilarious Mick Harvey covers.

After that it's Plastic Bertrand for the president of the USA remake of "ca plane pour moi" ?!. It's the only song he never made., Jean Jacques Burnel

, Air and Daft Punk (I hate DAFT PUNK, Air, it depend, there last single, "nights" rock, but "love boy" sucks !, , three of which are likable. I have a CD somewhere by Clair Obscur

I listened to once.
My favourite Stranglers song was La Folie.

I would like to be educated about Pierre Boulez. (Oo Lala, Pierre BOULEZ is a comteporary classic composer : His best works are : "Polyphonie X" for 18 instruments, "Structures" for two pianos, "Figures, Doubles, Prismes", an ensemble of small piece for several instruments.

Never heard about : Manu Chao, Noir Desir, IAM, Aston Villa ?

Thank you Nans.

I will seek out some Pierre Boulez.

Clair Obscur are/were (?) a goth-type band, probably most similar to Joy Division, from the early 90s. No doubt more 'obscur' than 'clair' today.

Yes! Daft Punk are the detestable ones! We agree.

Of the Air stuff I really only like 'Don't Be Light'.

JJ Burnel was/is bass player for The Stranglers. He, the silver-tongued sexist of the gyrating pelvis and ultra-bass bass.

Hmmm....depends on what mood i am in?

Good mood: Santana - smooth

Pissed off: David Draimen - Forsaken

Hurt/Betrayed: Fleetwood Mac - Tango in the Night

Loved: Daniel Bedingfield - If your not the one

Really romantic/horny: Sarah MacLachlan - Ecstasy

Thats me.....oh....wait

Chilled Out: Emma Shaplin - Fifth Heaven

Thats me......

Herbie HANKOCK stuff. Some John CAGE also. Pierre BOULEZ is closer "experimental" classical comtemporary (With in the 50/60's first synthetisers, Arythmic music... I remember he has done something with GERSHWIN.

Try to search :

Chromatic symphony .

Depends on the mood, I guess.

A few from Springsteen like: born to run, better days, thunderoad. Beatles: Free as a bird, In my life, When I'm 64 (more of a marriage theme song, I suppose)

and speaking of marriage, did anyone have 'wedding songs'? Mine were: u2, all I want is you and Elvis, love me.

...she choosed Dire straits, Romeo and juliet

Oh, you just reminded me of that song that i cry too!

Romeo and Juliet's Love Theme....the Violin version!

Oh...cry my eyeballs out!

probably I have nothing by Whitney Housten

Good U2 choice there Bob. Our first dance was to La vie en rose by Louie Armstrong.

More Human Than Human-White Zombie

The ultimate theme song:

James Brown - Sex Machine

'Nuff said.

My back up theme songs would be George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone" or "I Drink Alone".

Two others. Alien Sex-A.I. or Bottom's Up-A.I.

Just really cool backround music, and both funny, not suppose to be though. But come one, alien sex!

Ha Illmatic...I love that Common joint too.

Mine is unquestionably... Talib&Mos Def "Get up"

vita detestabilis ------- hateful life
nunc obdurat ------- first oppresses

ludo mentis aciem,------- as fancy takes it;
egestatem, ------- poverty
potestatem ------- and power

Sors immanis ------- Fate - monstrous
et inanis, ------- and empty,
rota tu volubilis, ------- you whirling wheel,
status malus, ------- you are malevolent,
vana salus ------- well-being is vain
semper dissolubilis, ------- and always fades to nothing,
obumbrata ------- shadowed
et velata ------- and veiled
michi quoque niteris; ------- you plague me too;
nunc per ludum ------- now through the game
dorsum nudum ------- I bring my bare back
fero tui sceleris. ------- to your villainy.

Sors salutis ------- Fate is against me
et virtutis ------- in health
michi nunc contraria, ------ and virtue,
est affectus ------- driven on
et defectus -------- and weighted down,
semper in angaria. ------- always enslaved.
Hac in hora -------- So at this hour
sine mora -------- without delay
corde pulsum tangite; ------- pluck the vibrating strings;
quod per sortem ------- since Fate
sternit fortem, ------- strikes down the string man,
mecum omnes plangite! ------- everyone weep with me!

Some people say Carmina BURANA is a satanist piece. Some even say that Karl ORFF sold his soul to Satan to be able to compose Carmina BURANA.

They say this because latin sound like an ode to satan in this piece. "Volubilis" "Dissolubilis" Sound like Ebiliss, the name of Satan when he was still an Angel, in the Quaran.
Carmina BURANA is sub-titled Sacred and Profanes Songs...

Makes me smile and feel good every time i hear it

I've heared that the whole piece is based on old witch-related writings and parchments. Not that this should automatically mean that the (brilliant and beautiful) piece should be Satanic for that reason: If you owned a bible or grew herbs back then, you would shurely be burnt on the stake... ... Beautiful piece it is, musically I organise it side by side with Mozart's Requiem in my head.

Blessings,
Mikromarius

i have a few

when im trying to pump my self up, dont fear the reaper by blue oyster cult.

When im depresed its, Hero by Chad Kroeger/Nickleback

but my life in general is a mix of two songs, the grudge by Tool, and Run by Pacifer/shihad
