Haven't you always wanted...

...your own theme music? I think it started when I watched that VeggieTales movie with Tina. You know, the one where little guys do big things, too? Well, ever since then, various candidate theme songs for Testimony persons keep occurring to me. These have ranged from the blatantly obvious (Manhattan Transfer's "Boy From New York City" = Kevin) to the slightly humorous (Riley Armstrong's "Sleep" = Lisa). Some are even hilarious, but so subtle that their brilliance may not be noticed by aught but the trained observer (The Muppets' "Boom Shaka-Laka" = Uchenna). That said, I have compiled a list of the best theme music I can come up with for each member of Testimony 03-04:

Christine = Bill Withers - "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone"
Mia = The O.C. Supertones - "Away From You"
Ssonia = Five Iron Frenzy - "O Canada!"
Karina = The Company - "International"
Jenny = The Pale - "Common Sense"
Tina = VeggieTales - "Little People Can Do Big Things, Too"
Dana = U2 - "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
Lisa = Curious Fools - "Angel"
Victoria = Milt Jackson's - "Little Girl Blue"
Brian = The Blues Brothers'(?) - "Soul Man"
Jeff = King's Singers - "King's Singers Rag"
David = MxPx - "Chick Magnet"
Uchenna = Once Upon A Mattress - "Shy"
Rob = Men Without Hats - "We Can Dance If We Want To"
Tony = Skillet - "Best Kept Secret"
Kevin = They Might Be Giants - "Rhythm Section Want Ad"
Jarreau = Annie - "Smile-Cast"

Well, that's as much cleverness as I can muster. Don't get the joke? Know a better song? Aren't familiar with that particular ditty? Want a CD to remember people by? Just let me know.

Song of the moment: "Stand By Me" (U2 and Bruce Springsteen. The live bootleg you can find with any friendly neighborhood Pirating software. Four stars.)
