Ok so I had this great conversation the other day with a couple of friends, which got me thinking this would be a good post for my fellow sleuthers....

Ok, picture it....

I start down the stairs at a bar, a very cool, hip place where everyone knows your name (ok I'm from Boston, grew up on Cheers, what do you expect from me lol)....all of a sudden, you hear the first strains of....

AMERICAN BADASS!

Thats my personal theme song, so appropriate I think :)

What would all of yours be? and be creative :)

Without a doubt, only one song it could be f'me. Originally by Candian group The Guess Who, just to keep in line with the whole Canuck vibe in this thread:


"American Woman" by Lenny Kravitz
-----------

<one of the funkiest, crank-it-loud guitar riffs in history>
Uh!

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be

Don't come hanging round my door,
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you

Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be

Don't come knocking round my door,
I don't want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say

Don't come hanging round my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be

I gotta go, I gotta getta away
Babe I gotta go, I wanna fly away
I'm gonna leave you woman, I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman, I'm gonna leave you woman

Bye, bye. bye, bye
Bye, bye... bye, bye

(American woman) And you're no good for me, and I'm no good for you
(American woman) I'll look you right straight in the eye, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
(American woman) I'm gonna leave you woman, you know I gotta go
(American woman) I'm gonna leave you woman, I gotta go
(American woman) I... gotta go

I gotta go
American woman
Yeah...

I think "On the Ride" from Aly & Aj would be great for me.

My current Sleuthing theme chorus (the rest of the song doesn't really apply) is

*Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground, oh no
I got to keep on moving*

perserverance counts.

Its a toss up between Sting's Englishman in New York and Hall and Oats' Cold Dark and Yesterday.

I went with Hall and Oats for this week's theme

The sun beats down so slow
I feel my body heating up inside
I watch the danger zone
For signs of life but not a soul alive
Try every trick i know
To keep my temperature from blowing sky high
Check on the time to go
Lay my spirit down to fantasize

Disembark disconnect possibilities unknown
On the edge of a heading for heavy weather
I suspect i can tell i can feel it in my bones
All not well but you never know...
Cold dark and yesterday

Glamorama all around me
Friendly natives turning back to brown
I keep my shades well down
They cannot penetrate what can't be found
Feel the fever start to rise
Slip away in indiscreet disguise
How can a man survive when the weak meet the soft
And the heat blinds your eyes

Left to right up and down it's picture postcard time
Hear the sounds save the image in my mind
Cold dark and yesterday
