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 :)

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
