Remember the scene in "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" when Jack Spade learned that he needed a theme song in order to be a badass?
When I saw that movie at 8 years old, I decided on the spot that my theme song was "Bad" by Michael Jackson. (For reasons which shall go unlisted here.)
As I've matured, I exchanged "Bad" for a number of other theme songs that I felt defined me in less than 5 minutes: "Greatest Love Of All", "My Life", "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)", "One Of Us", "Stronger", "Love Is", "Scared of Lonely", "Flaws And All", "World Wide Woman", "Get By", "Beautiful Struggle", "My Petition", "Man in the Mirror", "I Wanna Be Free".
Regardless of the songs I chose over the years, I always seem to return to "32 Flavors", originally by Ani DiFranco. The lyrics are just so perfect. When no one seems to get me, I have this song. Through every changing situation, mood and path I walk down, I have this song:
And this morning was one of those mornings when I had to crank up my theme ALBUM to help me hit the snooze button for the last time.
What song(s) perfectly describes you or your state of mind, makes you feel so sexy or gets you pumped and ready to face the world?
If you've never seen "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" (where have you been?!), then here's your chance to get familiar. It's a great parody of the blaxploitation movies of the 70's. Enjoy!
