If you're old enough, you remember when Johnny Carson's band would play a theme song for every famous guest on his show. Dean Martin's theme was "That's Amore" (I think). When Elvis went on stage, the orchestra played the "2001" music (the proper name escapes me). My point is that while we have pretty much abandoned the personal theme song, we need to bring it back. For everyone. Tip of the hat to Adam Carolla, American Genius.
Think of what you're well-known for, or think of a song you've always liked---BAM!!!---you're in business. What are my theme songs, you ask? Well, since you're dying to know, here are a few candidates:
1. Opening theme from 'Victory at Sea'
2. Theme from 'The Pink Panther'
3. 'Indiana Wants Me' by R. Dean Taylor (only used when out of state)
4. Theme from the TV show 'Dallas' (only used outside of Texas)
5. Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"
6. Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black
You get my point. It probably says something about me that none of those tunes were written in the past 25 years. I'd love to hear some of your themes.
