As you know, this week, my theme song is Michael Jackson's "Jam". As I'm writing this, I'm doing some serious chair dancing choreography at my desk. If someone were to walk by right now, I think I'd be the joke of the office today. Probably should get up and close my door.
Anyway, as a result of my new found theme song (thanks again, Dad), I've decided to start a theme song playlist on my iPod. So far, I've got:
"I Was Born To Reign" by Will Smith - This song is about two minutes long and is a great pick me up when I'm on my way to do something that requires me to be super confident.
"Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees - C'mon. No matter who you are, this makes you strut down the street like your stuff don't stink.
"Yes We Can" by The Pointer Sisters - The lyrics are strong and the groove is infectious.
Help me out here. What are your theme songs? What songs do you listen to when you need to strut your stuff? When you need to be super confident? When you just need to make it through?

Always "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" and cheesy as it might be, "Single Ladies"
Eminem - Lose Yourself got me through the bar exam and picks me up when I need a little extra.
[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
"You're So Vain" by Carly Simon always gets me sassy. LOL "I'm Walkin' on Sunshine"...."I Will Survive"....I guess it really all depends on what I'm getting "excited" for. :) I agree with ca that "Lose Yourself" is a definite pumper upper.
This is my woman power song. I have a serious problem sitting still when this comes on. Serious. No matter where I am I have to move. Playing this on my iPod while at work wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done. Imagine the 8 months pregnant woman GETTIN' it in her chair...yeah, that was me.
Kindred The Family Soul
Woman First lyrics
mmm mmm
[Verse 1]
I look in the mirror
And so much has changed
Ever since I had the babies
I just don't feel the same
Ooohh cuz everyday I'm working, or nursing,
Not sleeping or eating
And love life is slipping
And I feel to blame
But today it's like you read me
You knew I didn't believe
You kissed me slow to let me know
To make me see
What you see so easily
You know that I been ...
[Chorus]
Well I've been so many things
(You know)
Ooohh but you remind me
(You remind me)
Of a Woman First
(That I'm your woman)
And oohh you make my body remember
Who I used to be
(Who I used to be yeah)
Ooohh when all I had to be was
(All I had to be)
Your Woman First
[Verse 2]
So, so, so
Much pressure to be my best
Tryna juggle it all without a sign of stress
But the look in your eyes say it's safe just
To be myself with you
Cuz you make me feel Honorable, Sexy,
Confident, Funny
Oh thank you baby I'm so glad you still see me
(See Me)
Ooohh you love me with so much grace
Cuz when you're a daughter, a sister, a wife,
and a mother
And everybody needs you more than the other
It's so very easy to loose you
When there's so many other things to do
[Chorus]
[Hook]
You didn't have to say a word
It's just the way you look at me
Ooohhh, Yeeaahh
I wanna thank you for loving me
[Chorus]
I've been thinking about this since you posted and I've decided I'm not very good at theme songs. If I'm lucky, I get semi-appropriate "mood music".
Usually though, just random tidbits in my head. Today I alternated between "if you want to destroy my sweater" and "raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens". Not very inspirational. :(
I am sick of holiday music. It won't stop! And I need an angry song for me today - any suggestions?
TeeksMom, a good angry song....hmmmm...angry about what? The only time I listen to music to "pump up" my anger is when some man has done me wrong. Tons of those songs. Let me know what you're looking for.
CA, yes, Eminem got us through the bar, didn't it? :) I can only relate to the Kindred song through you, but I do relate. I'm sure my SITS Girls will appreciate those lyrics.
Tooj, "You're So Vain" is one of my "that man ain't s#!@ to me" songs. "I'm Walkin' on Sunshine" is a great pick me up song. I had forgotten about it. Thanks. And of course, we can't have a list without the Woman's National Anthem, "I Will Survive".
SimonSez, yes, I too am groovin' to "Single Ladies" these days. Yeah, he shoulda put a ring on it. :) I've always been a fan of "Ain't No Stopping Us Now". I've got a great Bill Bradley story related to that song that I'll save for another posting.
Thanks for all the comment love!
Oh! My friend, Dr. D suggested Jay-Z's "Dirt of Your Shoulder". That's a great cocky song! Thanks, Dr. D!
