Theme Song
Do you have a theme song? Does your life have a soundtrack? Something that makes you think about your self, your world and your place in it?
I have two that are always stuck in my head. The Beatles – Fool On The Hill and Queen – I’m Going Slightly Mad. Almost every situation in my life falls into these two songs. So if you had a theme song or two or three what would they be?
Fool On The Hill
Day after day,
Alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
Well on the way head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
woah ooh,
Round and round and round.
He never listens to them,
He knows that they’re the fool
They don’t like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
I’m Going Slightly Mad
When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you – oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You’re missing that one final screw
You’re simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven’t got a clue
I’m going slightly mad
I’m going slightly mad
It finally happened – happened
It finally happened – ooh oh
It finally happened – I’m slightly mad
Oh dear!
I’m one card short of a full deck
I’m not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I’m not at my usual top billing
I’m coming down with a fever
I’m really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I’m a banana tree
Oh dear, I’m going slightly mad
I’m going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened uh huh
It finally happened I’m slightly mad – oh dear!
I’m knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast its true
I’m driving only three wheels these days
But my dear how about you?
I’m going slightly mad
I’m going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened oh yes
It finally happened
I’m slightly mad!
Just very slightly mad!
And there you have it!

Hmm. A theme song. I’d say it would be the opening song for the “Facts of Life”. You know, “You take the good, you take the bad…”
Actually, I’m kidding. I’d need to think about this for a bit. But good, thought-provoking question…I’ve actually been thinking about this for the past day or so. lol
My theme songs would be the theme music from Sanford and Son and the Lucy and Linus music by Vince Guiraldi.
[...] your life had a “soundtrack” what 5 songs would have to be on it? I did a post about this: Fool on the Hill – The Beatles, I’m Going Slightly Mad – Queen, I’m Alive – The Hooters, Comfortably Numb – Pink Floyd, I’m An Asshole – Denis [...]
