What's Your Theme Song?

So I've been doing stuff that's good for me, even when I don't feel like it.
Today I dressed for the gym after my shift AT work again so that I was already in my gym clothes for the drive home.
While I was changing, I thought to myself, "Yeah, I'm taking care of Babs."

Now if you know me personally, you KNOW I can turn anything into a song and I immediately started singing (in my head...)

Takin care of Babsness
Every day
Takin care of Babsness
Every way
I be takin care of Babsness
She's alright
Takin Care of Babsness
and workin over time
WORK OUT!

Then I giggled...coz it was silly...but I'm still singing it :)

But...If I had to pick a theme song, it would be this one by Concrete Blonde
If I were on Idol, I'd sing this song (never mind the seemingly mocking reference to still being in Hollywood)
It's what I listen to at the gym or in the car or sing out loud to!




Well I was tripping down the street early this morning
And the psychic lady pointed at me
She said come on in and I gave her my money
Said tell me, tell me, what you see
And she said she saw the angels dancing with me
Dancing to the beat of my feet down the street
She said she saw the angels dancing with me
Keep on, keep on, keep on now

Still in Hollywood
Oh I thought I'd be out of here by now
Still in Hollywood
My, my I'm running on a wheel and I don't know why
I don't know why

And I ran into Tommy Pomy
What a goddamned phony
Had a new fish on the line
Well the last one left with the last bad cheque
The only good one that he ever had died
I gotta live and live, I gotta learn to forgive
You know that everybody's gotta right
But theres evil all around in this broken down city
Its a twenty four hour fight

Still in Hollywood
Oh wow I thought I'd be outta here by now
Still in Hollywood
My, my I'm running on a wheel and don't know why
Still in Hollywood
Oh wow I thought I'd be outta here by now
Still in Hollywood
My, my, my I'm running on wheel
and don't know, don't know, don't know why

So let's me and you go get a new tattoo
We can hop on the harley and cruise
We can start at the pier and share a beer
Head out to the desert
I can feel it from here
Ride all the way to where the lizards play
Riding on, and on, and on
Theres a million stars it'll blow you away
It's all so Concrete Blonde

Still in Hollywood
That's right, you know we can ride it out all night
Still in Hollywood
Hey, hey, hey I got to, gottaway, gotta getaway yeah
Still in Hollywood
My, my, my yes I'm glad to be alive
Still in Hollywood
Mama gonna be sombody, someday, sometime
Still in Hollywood
Oh yeah
Oh I wanna get out alive
Don't you know why
Oh I'm doin fine
Oh this is why
Oh wanna be out of here by now...



(What's a matter with you young man
Going to Hollywood, gonna be a big shot
That towns gonna suck you up and spit you out
You ain't gonna have a pot to piss in
Don't come back to me for a job
You made your bed, now sleep in it...)  


Gee...kinda funny how much this voice over sounds like something JOAN would say!
