Just to add, SO claims HIS theme song is the Sanford and Son theme. I have to agree.

I was named for a song so that's been my theme song for life...and no my real name isn't "Annie" so it isn't "Annie's Song"...which was written long after I was born.

"Just The Way You Are" by Billy Joel

My theme song changes with what’s going on. The last few years it’s been “Free Man in Paris”, or “Baker Street”.

Natural By Imagine Dragon is my theme song right now, today. It's a pick yourself up song and make it in this world. Your a Natural. I've got a phone call with my insurance company scheduled for 7:30am today to discuss all the changes to my policy....

I wish it wasn't, but it's always fit, "She's Always a Woman" by Billy Joel.

Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf.

Too Old to Rock 'n Roll, Too Young to Die, Jethro Tull. I have always wanted that played at my funeral or wake :-)

Into the Mystic, Van Morrison, and The Wallflowers cover isn’t bad either. Always loved that song.

As a young adult, my friends used to call me Delta Dawn after the song of the same name that was performed by both Tanya Tucker and Helen Reddy. It wasn't so much about the song as it was that my name is Dawn, we lived near the Sacramento delta and my friends were just being silly.

30 years ago, when hubby and I were longing to move out of our suburban neighborhood and away from the city to a place in the mountains, our theme song was "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" by The Animals. It summed up our feelings about the rat race we were living in perfectly.

I don't think I have a theme song now. I'll have to give that some thought.

I've never thought about having a theme song.

On my iPhone I do have individual ringtones for friends and family, each selected because it somehow relates to that person. For example, my brother-in-law is a big Elvis Presley fan, so his ringtone is Jailhouse Rock. A dear friend of ours is a retired band teacher who is a great trumpet player, so his ringtone is Java by Al Hirt. My nephew, who never lets things get to him, has Tubthumping (lyrics: I get knocked down, but I get up again; you're never gonna keep me down) by Chumbawamba as his ringtone. The default ringtone on my phone is a 28-second clip from the song A Moment Alone by Ramsey Lewis (album is Meant to Be). My customized ringtone starts at 0:52 and goes to 1:20.

Oh heck. After so many decades on this planet I would have a lot of them.

Little Miss Go-Go - Gary Lewis and the Playboys

Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf

Clouds - Judy Collins

Against the Wind - Bob Seger

I'm Back In Town - Melanie

Today DH would say it would be:

Since she Started To Ride

She's got a brown suntan startin' just above her collar
Her lower arms they're brown, but the rest is kinda pale
She'd buy betadine if she only had a dollar
And she'd live out in the pasture if she only had a tail

And no I don't see her much since she started with horses
No I don't see her much since she started to ride

Well her jeans they get like a wet saddle blanket
And her boots are like you'd figure
And her car is full of hay
Horses, humans: if she had to rank it
You'd bet on they that canter
And them that need fly spray

And you see I don't see her much since she started with horses
No I don't see her much since she started to ride

Go boys, tell 'em all about it!

(guitar)

Canter and fender, barrel and mane
Don't see her much since she started to train
Cannon bone, knee bone, forearm and arm
I don't see her much when she heads for the barn

And she's so satisfied when she's riding and trainin'
She must just love that smell of the barn i would say
She's so satisfied when she's groomin' and grainin'
And she's tired in the evening and she's gone in the day

And no I don't see her much since she started with horses
No I don't see her much since she started to ride

Gummitwist by Der Plan

My ringtone is "Und dann..." but it is not available on YouTube.

The lyrics in Gummitwist that I had trouble with at first were "Gummitwist ist einfach, und Gummitwist geht so." It was the "geht so" part that I did not hear originally.

I can't think of one for me but DH's would be Frank Sinatra's "My Way" Without any question!

The story goes that Nick Lowe intended this song to poke fun at aging hippies ... but then realized that maybe those old hippies were on to something too good and too true to joke about. As meaningful to me today as it was then:

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?

As I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong,
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
(Sweet harmony)

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?

When both dds were away at college they would both send this link when things were not going good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj3uXzAjmeI

Currently my ring tone is Despacito, which I love. I use to be a dancing fool and anything that makes me feel like moving to the music is what makes me happy. My theme song Humm I have to think about it. 🤔

'Where Everybody Knows Your Name' theme song to the TV sitcom Cheers. I would love a place like that. Being an introvert makes that pretty hard.

I think it is funny how "my song" has changed from my teen years to almost 70 now. I heard this song a few years ago and it had an impact on how I feel now. 'Mad World' by Gary Jules.

Marshall Crenshaw's "The Usual Thing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4wSv0aQ3Tc

Or maybe David Lindley's "Mercury Blues" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHY0YxdswyY

But, sometimes, it's "The Dance" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpwdwbO1uvM

Raee_gw, I love Garth Brooks & 'The Dance'. At one time, over twenty yrs ago, it would totally have been 'my song'. Thankfully, time has healed some of those emotional wounds and I can listen to that song without crying. Calflowerluver was quite right in observing that our theme songs can change over time depending on circumstances.

I have 3. You don't own me by Leslie Gore, I am woman and your my world by Helen Reddy

Samkaren

Your resident dj

Samkaren, nice to see you again. I remember your artwork as well as your interest in music :-)

Thanks nickle! KT has changed a bit. Trying to figure out how to create new post. CCan n you or sanyone yone help?

I will try! First screen shot (click on it to expand it to legible size!)

If you go to Kitchen Table (or any forum), BEFORE you click open a thread you should see something like the above. All you do, is type your "thread title" where its says "enter your question" then click on the "tell us the specific..." box to type the body of your thread. Click "next" and it will take you to a screen where you can select up to 3 forums to post your thread to. (The only provision here is please don't pair "Hot Topics" with anything but itself; it's a much more active and divisive forum than it used to be). Then click to actually create and post your thread.

One extra hint here, if you want to include a picture, what I do is drag the picture to my desktop, click on the "Photo" icon, then click on the picture I want to show. THEN sometimes you have a wait a minute for the picture to clear ... I guess a large pic file takes a bit to transfer over.

Another screen shot:

If I wanted to change my name, I'd click on the upper right "Your Houzz" icon and it would let me change my display name, include or exclude an email (which is not displayed to anyone but can be used to send you a private message), etc.

Oh, and if you click "Start a discussion" here, it takes you to the screenshot I included above.

I hope this all helps ... dive in and you'll have no problems :-)

Thanks for the help amylou Just did post although I do have to change my screen name.
