We had some fun with this question on the LinkedIn forum, and I'm betting Biznik's can do a great job here. So, for you personally or your business (or both), what's your Theme Song....or, what would you like it to be? (See LinkedIn responses here)

Maybe the word "LinkdIn" is a big turn off for Bizniks? ;]
What would your theme song be Amy? [I don't want one for myself]

"Words" by the BeeGees
"It's only words And words are all I have To take your heart away."
The Cape by Guy Clark, Susanna Clark Music
Recorded by Eric Bibb on Friends
Eight years old with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurin' what the heck
He screwed his courage up so tight
The whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
He headed for the ground.
Chorus
He's one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath
Always trust your cape.
All grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dream
He's full of piss and vinegar
He's bustin' at the seams
He licked his finger and checked the wind
It's gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin' boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
Chorus
Old and grey with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his head
He's still jumpin' off the garage
And will be 'til he's dead
All these years the people said
He's actin' like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did.

Depends on my mood. Sometimes it's Stronger by Kanye West. Sometimes it's I Can See Clearly Now (nice, Andrey!) Sometimes it's the Indiana Jones theme song. :)
I like to use "These Are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs:
These are days you'll remember Never before and never since, I promise, Will the whole world be warm as this And as you feel it, You'll know it's true That you are blessed and lucky It's true that you Are touched by something That will grow and bloom in you
I was thinking BUSINESS theme song when I came up with "Words."
Will have to think a little harder on the "personal" one. So many choices!
I have 5.
The 1978 disco hit "Got To Be Real" by Cheryl Lynn.
I won a "Best Butt" contest, dancing on a bar in my underwear, to the song while in college. It's followed me around the 30 years since. My friends say they will even play it at my memorial service when I am gone. Being "real" is a huge part of how I do business as well.
"When you're going through hell" by Rodney Atkins
"Unwritten" by Natasha Bettingfield
Love its message!
I'm with Debbie on "Unwritten"; it is a great song and found in just about every movie and commerical on television now.
Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife by Prince is another favorite of mine from his Emancipation album. This will be my wedding song if I every get married.
And, pretty much anything by Depeche Mode because they are so muscially and lyrically talented.
I can go on and on! Just love music and how can anyone pick just one.
My friends and I have discussed this same topic, only in regards to "if you were a baseball player, what song would play when you walked up to bat?!"
Mine would either be one of the many awesome Led Zeppelin songs OR Good Little Girls by Blue Country :-)
I have no theme song. It depends too much on my mood. If I did however it would be something like Rock Lobster B52's. Art T.
Depending on mood:
Dirty Deed Done Dirt Cheap; Don't forget thinking about tommorrow; Big bottom girls make the rockin world go round; I'm just a girl
Of course, I don't know the proper title for any of the songs.
For business purposes: "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" Monty Python "WE are the Champions" Queen
"Let's Get it Started" Black Eyed Peas
and sometimes..... "Taking the Long Way Around" by the Dixie Chicks.
With or Without You by U2! That song motivates me like no other!
Unwritten has been mine for awhile.
I'm also a fan of: Reach up for the sunrise Breathe a new day Into your life You can touch the sunrise... (Duran Duran from Astronaut)
Give me songs with empowerment! Yeah!
Don't Stop Believin', Journey I have this on repeat intermixed with the Ying Yang Twins.
Fun question! I have several.
"Celebration" since you can never celebrate too much! "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood when I hear bad/tough news about our country or her fallen soldiers. "What the World Needs" by Wynonna Judd, anytime! "The Power of the Dream" Celine Dion, "I Will Survive" and "Don't Stop Believin" Journey, anytime I need to remind myself as to why I'm working so hard.
Anything by Prince!
or the Lemon Song - just cause it is SO good.
"Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow"...oh wait that was Clinton/Gore 1992.
Marvellous (Extended Mix) from the Jollification Album, by the Lightning Seeds.
Because it is.
Open up the window and jump into the blue...
Oh, so many songs to choose from...these are a few of my faves, mood-dependent...
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
Five Days in May - Blue Rodeo
You & I - Celine Dion
Take It Easy - The Eagles
These are all me (LoL, blame it on being a Gemini!)
Wipeout - The Fat Boys
Unforgiven - Metallica
Nothing Like the Rain - Clint Black
Resurrection - Apocalyptica
