Spinning off from the mighty Gasm's Planets thread...
So, here we are on the background music planet - What would be your theme tune? (e.g. LazyDolphin enters to the strains of "We will ROCK you" by Queen - feel free to jump in and correct that one LD ol' mate) What background music would accompany everyday activities? (e.g. Psycho music when you take a shower)

Depending on his mood, Mr Pointy enters the room to "Singin' in the Rain", "Heaven knows, I'm miserable now" (The Smiths), "What difference does it make?" (The Smiths), "Whole lotta love" (Led Zep) and so on...
 
I think I'd enter to "Hero" by Nickelback although that isn't really entering music, or well, it doesn't really sound like something you'd enter too.
 
I would enter to The hills are alive with the sound of music because I love running around on hills and generally travel that way whenever I can...
 
As for background music - how about the Funeral March for that daily journey into work? (I don't like my job btw🙂)

How about "Yakety Sax" for when you're chasing round that little bald fella and the scantily clad women...no, wait...channelling Benny Hill's ghost again 🙂
 
When you walk into the local pub that "I get knock down and can't get up again........." oh gosh, i have forgotten the song. I know it was done by a Kiwi band. ::dk:: Mr Pointy, do you know the one I'm talking about?
 
My entrance music would have to be "Crazy" by Meredith Brooks-that or "Bitch" by the same artist. Anyone who's read the lyrics to that song and knows me well enough will know they are mostly written after my life 😉
 
Mr P, you havent been watching the Danger mouse ep where all the worlds music is stolen and Penfold has to run around all episode with a tape player to keep the episode having its sound track have ya? 😉

hilarity ensues when the flying car stalls and he looses his place on the tape and turns on the funaral march 😀

i call the Danger Mouse theme for my intro :: tu ::
 
Caw! Pendofld!

I'll take a We Will Rock You, Mr. Pointy! As long as I don't have to get involved in any anachronistic musical jousting. Good call on Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now. I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour...

Tubthumping by Chumbawumba

I can't really think of what i would enter to, any suggestions.

Maybe "500 miles" by the Proclaimers or "One Headlight" by the Wallflowers.... I have no idea

As Kindred already posted - "Tub thumping" by Chumbawumba (I woulda got it if I'd been online😛). Kiwis? I thought they were a British anarchist collective...good choice tho'

Nope - this was pretty much from Soulgasm's original idea.

I missed most of DM's adventures - tho' I always liked the look of them (that ep sounds like a particularly good one)...I think they were mostly shown in my not-watching-very-much-TV years (16 to 30ish btw) Was it made by Cosgrove Hall in the 80's with David Jason and Terry Scott doing the main voices?

How Soon is Soon- Love Spit Love

Full version of the Charmed theme song, seems to fit.

I always thought that the Charmed theme was a cover version of "How soon is now" - one of my favourite Smith's songs - The tune is certainly the same and possibly the words slightly different for TV theme purposes. Here are the first few lines of the Smiths' song
I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and the heir
of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does

Please enlighten me with the Charmed song details.

Yea, you've gotta love Morrisey's curmudgeonly take on life. I'd forgotten how much I liked the Smiths until this thread came along...I used to go out with a girl who was such a Smiths fan she was convinced she could turn Morrisey, if only she could meet him :😛?:: 😕 The relationship didn't last long...

Blimey, that's gotta be my longest post ever - sorry 'bout that. Please carry on with the themes and background music - I'm enjoying this...

Yup, the Charmed theme song is "How Soon is Now".

I'm thinking about the theme song for "Monty Python's Flying Circus" for my entrances, as I said before, and Springsteen's "Born to Run" whenever I start my car.

Ah, Sousa and Springsteen - excellent choices ( I'm working on my Frasier impersonation btw 🙂)
 
hmmm the sex and the city theme song for me lol no maybe "i always feel like somebodys watching me" by rockwell
 
Whenever I'm working I wanna hear the Halloween-theme (muahahah!), 'cause my victims get even more nervous from it and then it'll be easier for me to catch them!

And the "Welcome to Atlanta (Remix)" by Jermaine Dupri, P. Diddy, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg is awesome for when I'm cruising ... on my bike 😀

And for the rest of the time any song in which the Neptunes participated will do.
 
I have been told before that my theme song is the theme song from The Smurfs. I think I can roll with that! 🙂
