What's your theme song?

Theme songs. Couples have them, high school sports teams have them, even (and especially) bad ’80’s sitcoms have them. Why don’t you have one? I’ve always wanted to have a song play when I enter a room but could never pick a logical choice. Should I be off-beat and soulful (Bert Jansch), casually sophisticated (Dave Brubeck) or plain James Bond sexy (Nina Simone)? The best place to look for your theme song is obviously the pop charts and what better song to choose than the number one song on the day of your birth? For me that’s the timeless classic by ’80’s super-band Wham!, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. Now that I think of it, nothing says Alex Herder like George Michael singing:

You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same

Curious about your theme song? Look it up. (Thanks Rachel)
