I give you this scene from the Emperor's New Groove. If you haven't seen this movie, see it. It's old, but it's fucking hilarious. At any rate, Krunk is kidnapping Kuzco, and compliments it with his own theme music. It's pure Krunk all the way.
That goes to wonder, what would you choose as your own theme music? The song you would want playing to create a musical backdrop to your day. It can have words, or it can be wordless. It can be a dance number, or a mellow beat. It can be Nirvana, it can be Soulja Boy. The only catch is, it must embody you. You must choose this song knowing full well that it is you and everything you stand for. And so as not to be spammy little fucks, let us all tell why we believe the respective song represents us.

No, I didn't pick the song because I'm an Anarchist. I don't have anywhere near the amount of faith in people that is required for such a political belief. I have always loved symphonies and/or orchestra numbers, it's just how I'm wired. The underlying beats of the percussion and tubas built upon by the other brass and woodwinds...topped off by the oh so awesome violins and chellos and what not. It's the grandiose nature of it all, the sheer mesh of perfection that draws me to it.
Now, with that said, I also see myself as a grandiose figure. "I speak with my hands," in that I move my hands very often when I speak. I make big, sweeping movements when I'm walking and maneuvering through crowds, simply because it gives me a way to occupy my very, very bored mind. If I can somehow make a grand entrance, I'll take it. I give my speeches that little extra oomph to make them emphatic, I make sure everyone of my conversations makes the people involved seem important. I laugh loud, I move loud, I think loud. Though, what separates me from the jackasses is that I can also laugh quietly, move silently, and think softly when I need to.
So when I listen to Agent of Chaos, I can match up the overtures and movements to my day. It really seems as if I could go throughout the day with this on loop and make it a legit part of my day. It would work.
So. What song fits your day? Stake your claim.
