I KILL CONVERSATION WHEN I WALK INTO A ROOM

popfiend , who wants us all to choose four (4) theme songs to announce you when you make yr Big Entrance. One from the 60s, the 70s, the 80s and the 90s.
O why do I do this? Because I must.
Luckily, I still had my notes from back when I was looking for a good theme song for my presidential campaign (because, asbedsitter23 has proven, if yr a presidential hopeful and you don’t have a theme song, you might as well stay home). So here’s four songs you should be hearing whenever the camera cuts to me. (YouTube links included where available)
60s: Link Wray, “Jack The Ripper”
For those moments that call for menacing coolness. Or when you want every woman in the room to throw her lingerie at you. In a good way.
Backup music: anything by Booker T and the MGs.
70s: The Jimmy Castor Bunch, “King Kong”
You have the gong, the intro spiel, and it is funky. Plus I’ve been waiting like six months to find an excuse to post this.
Backup music: Tony Camillo’s Bazuka, “Dynomite”.
80s: Rush, “Tom Sawyer”
My official campaign theme song. Not funky, but great opening sting, and it tells you everything you need to know about me. Always hopeful yet discontent, indeed.
Backup music: Queen, “Gimme The Prize” (from the Highlander soundtrack – because deep inside we all want to be The Kurgan in church)
90s: Barry Adamson, “The Snowball Effect”
For those moments when you want every motherf***er in the place to know that you are in effect and ready to do the business. No YouTube sample, sadly, but listen to “Who Killed Big Bird” on his MySpace page if you want a general idea – but imagine it more funky than jazzy.
Backup music: “Spybreak!” by Propellerheads has a similar amount of cool factor to it. But if it makes people think of that shootout scene in The Matrix, the obvious choice is White Zombie’s “Black Sunshine” for Iggy Pop’s guest intro monologue alone.
Now I’m here,
This is dF
