My theme song would be “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off!” by the incomparable Gershwin brothers and made famous by Fred and Ginger in ‘Shall We Dance’. We chose it as our wedding song, because we thought it was funny and partly because some ‘controlling interests’ had made the wedding planning very ‘unfun’. There was a ferocious thunderstorm the night of our reception and a tree fell across the power lines in Queenston. The resourceful DJ had his own generator and cranked it, the drinks were served ’straight’ as the the soda dispensers that relied on electricity were toast, and everybody just DANCED! What a party! Candles, pouring rain, thunder, lightning and a group of people ignited. After 25 years of marriage, we “called the ‘off’ off” as the song goes and are still rolling…
Here’s a link, but don’t try the dancing on skates! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ3fjQa5Hls
OK I am dating myself, but I have always gotten a tremendous kick out of the Eagles’ ‘Already Gone’. My favorite line was, “… and then you’ll have to eat yer lunch all by yerself.” It still makes me feel great when I’m pissed off at someone.

Hi there. I left a comment in the middle of the night re: my theme song. It said it was awaiting moderation. I hope you got it!
