I bet you Middlebrow's "theme song for life" is worse than yours

Tipola to the Urban Spelunker at the SLTurbulant. Go to
This day in Music enter your 18th birthhday and find the "Theme song of your life."

Mine is (I curse you gods!) "Man Down Under" by the never-talented Men At Work.

Middlebrow's was a crime to music, however: Chicago's "Look Away."

Poor Mid-B. Poor me. What horrific theme songs for our lives.

What's yours?

Comments:

Barf, The Osmonds or Paul Anka, I never listened to either. I went to iTunes and chose my own, Sundown, Gordon Lightfoot.

quelle horreur! Mine is Michael Bolton's "When A Man Loves a Woman" (according to SN, since I didn't look it up). How can one be expected to succeed in life when that nightmarish song is hovering in the background?

It can always get SO MUCH WORSE! Mine is Careless Whisper but the topper is my brother's who gets to have "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" by Michael Bolton.

Truth be told, I have always suspected my life soundtrack was actually whacky cartoon music with sproingy, beeping sound effects accompanying.

Listen, I would take any of yours over mine: K.C. and the Sunshine Band, "Get Down Tonight."

Gar.

I won't even mention what song is my astrological birthright; however, I recently downloaded Lightfoot's greatest hits including "Sundown". How dare you mock him Orris! Lightfoot's the mack daddy of the smooth seventies.

lis may have the worst song, worse even than Chicago. It's close, though. Michael Bolton? Chicago?

Are you people insane? Chicago "Look Away" is #2 on the worst possible songs of all time.

Hear, hear!! Karmaking, Gordon was/is wonderful!

lisa, "Get Down Tonight" is so much better than Michael Bolton.

KC totally rocks. I would be so much more popular if my theme song for life was a KC song.

I can honestly say that I've never heard Chicago's Look Away. I wonder when it came out, obviously after I stopped listening to them.

Pure late 80s crap music, C, along the lines of Starship.. Go look at the video on iTunes.

While I was searching (for so long) for Look Away, I happened across With or Without You.

It's funny to read the comments of the "younger" set of listeners. Don't they know that this was THE U2 video? Geez 1985, that's 21 years ago, arghhh.
