Canucklehead is a blog I linked to in my Link Love Overdose last week, and as I perused his site yesterday, I noticed he had written a post challenging other bloggers to find a theme song for their blogs. Well, I am taking the Theme Song Challenge!

A long time ago, when I started this website, one of the first videos I ever posted was this one…because that is after all the theme of this blog - and the way that I love music, it just made sense to me.

When the idea for this website came about - I swear that’s what I heard in my head as I was building it. I could sing the lyrics, but nobody wants that. As I write this it echoes in my head. :D

Oh, I could watch that a dozen times and never get bored with it. I shall share those lyrics now so that you too can be more familiar:

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you’re okay.
Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think Ill buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I’m all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Don’t give me that do goody good bullshit.
I’m in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.

Money, its a crime.
Share it fairly but don’t take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that they’re
Giving none away.

Huh-uh! I was in the right!
Yes, absolutely in the right!
I certainly was in the right!
You was definitely in the right. that geezer was cruising for a
Bruising!
Yeah!
Why does anyone do anything?
I don’t know, I was really drunk at the time!
I was just telling him, he couldn’t get into number 2. he was asking
Why he wasn’t coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
Screaming and telling him why he wasn’t coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out.

Yes, I know the last verse doesn’t really make sense - it was the 70’s okay? LOL.

There is one other song I want to share with you that I think ties in nicely with this blog, if I can designate two songs for my theme songs, this would be the second.

That was “Fly Like an Eagle” by the Steve Miller Band - another of my favorites. Not only for the musical qualities, but also because of the message. Check out the lyrics:

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I’m free
Oh, lord, through the revolution

Feed the babies
Who don’t have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin’ in the street
Oh, oh, theres a solution

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I’m free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I’m free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future

So I have answered that challenge, and raised you one! Will you take the Theme Song Challenge? I’m anxious to see what y’all pick for your songs, please comment here if you’ve read this here and link back to your post and I’ll check it out!

Thanks Canucklehead!
