Wow, what a great idea for a Friday Five list. This one requires some thought, so I’ll return to this later…
Is it bad that I always thought big orchestral fanfares should be played when I enter the room?
Who knows? I’m sure it says something about your personality, though.
I find it interesting that all of mine were penned by black songwriters.
1. Name of the Game – Crystal Method
2. Super Bad – James Brown
3. Fanfare for the Common Man – Aaron Copland
4. Ramble On – Led Zeppelin
5. Loser – Beck
I’m going to start playing that soundtrack in my head, even if nobody else can hear it.
All right, here we go:
1. Say Goodbye to Love – Kenna
2. That Song – Big Wreck
3. Ring Finger – RJD2
4. Big News II – Clutch
5. Heart of the Sunrise – Yes
Bad to the Bone
4. Big News II – Clutch
Perfect.
Funny thing is … this is why i carry that 80′s boombox everywhere I go ….
1. Superfreak – Rick James
2. Goin’ Out West – Tom Waits
3. Dreamweaver – Gary Wright (this would be accompanied by me blowing glitter from my hands)
4. Grown So Ugly – The Black Keys
5. Ace of Spades – Motorhead
There is only ONE song I would want. John Williams – The Imperial March
1. Clampdown – The Clash
2. Death Or Glory – The Clash
3. Guns Of Brixton – The Clash
4. Tommy Gun – The Clash
5. Drug-Stabbing Time – The Clash
1. Take on Me-A-ha (but only if I’m wearing leg warmers)
2. (Everybody Wanna Get Rich) Rite Away-Dr. John (for my funk-a-delic moods)
3. Tie: Truth-Handsome Boy Modeling School OR Creep-Radiohead (while entering a smoky bar wearing a little black dress and very probably smoking a cigar)
4. Positively Inclined featuring ASM & Marina Quaisse-Wax Taylor (when needing to dance to the beat of my own drummer)
5. Family Tree-Sandro Perri (for if I ever land a role in a Wes Anderson Film)
holy crap, a Kenna fan! If only there had been 50,000 more of you, the tour I played for him might not have been canceled 3 weeks in.
1. Carmina Burana – O Fortuna
