I never heard of the Good Rats and their theme song was cool "We're the good rats: hello, hello, hello, hello" LOL!<br /><br />I've always been an Archies gal. So I'm going to vote for their theme song. And I LOVE Sugar, Sugar! <br />I also like the Josie and the Pussycats so it was a tough toss-up for me but I'm going with the Archies as they're not showing up so well here, it seems.<br /><br />Michele at <a href="http://angelsbark.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Angels Bark</a>Michele at Angels Bark https://www.blogger.com/profile/15891713963440451090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-6003843443861308752018-02-02T21:57:18.879-08:002018-02-02T21:57:18.879-08:00J, I'm not sure that hearing that would be a g...J, I'm not sure that hearing that would be a good thing.

It was great to get to know you better and put a face to the writing! And stumbling upon that excellent delicatessen when McCarthy's restaurant was closed was a fine bit 'o luck. Let's get together again next time I'm in town... or you are.<br /><br />As for the battle: The Archies aren't getting much love here. That's probably for the best, I guess. Josie is getting more votes than I'd have expected.<br /><br />The RATS get my vote this time. They are a real band and they sound like one. Not my favorite of all time, but not bad.<br /><br />The concept of my own theme song is an interesting one. Since I know you haven't had time to write your own theme song, have you thought long and hard (or maybe even short and lazily) about one that might fit you? Maybe just part of you? You should come up with one and then tell us in your vote recap in a few days.<br /><br />For me it is a hard question. My self-image is complex; I might name a different song at different times. It might be something raw and hard by The Who like "The Real Me." At another time it might be classical, heroic, and complex like Beethoven's "Egmont" overture. <br /><br />But after much reflection I am choosing a great song by one of my favorite bands, Weezer. I saw them a couple of years ago and they are doing another tour later this year. THIS is my theme song:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPZCGleqh7M<br /><br /><br />(tongue firmly in cheek) Sixgun McItchyfingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-8330256763697788392018-02-01T22:30:59.468-08:002018-02-01T22:30:59.468-08:00Hi Lee I preferred Josie and the Pussycats.

I think the "Scooby Doo" gang did have a band sometimes, but I never watched the show much to remember. I do remember their theme song though I try not to think about it so it doesn't get stuck in my head.<br /><br />You've probably heard of The Good Rats on my blog since I've mentioned them a few times and featured one of their songs over a year ago. They were a very eclectic group and may have not only been influenced by other bands, but they probably exerted their own influence on bands that came after them.<br /><br />I'm not surprised that you'd have a Waylon song as a theme song pick.<br /><br />Another vote for <b>Good Rats</b>.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-47196736821205060312018-02-01T14:38:06.190-08:002018-02-01T14:38:06.190-08:00Hilary, a decent quiet birthday and I'm lookin...Hilary, a decent quiet birthday and I'm looking forward to a great year for all of us.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-40230267895655310592018-02-01T14:37:17.825-08:002018-02-01T14:37:17.825-08:00JoJo, "Life Is a Highway" sounds like on...JoJo, "Life Is a Highway" sounds like one for me too, but "Bittersweet Symphony" does seem kind of theme-song-like.<br /><br />Again it's <b>Josie and the Pussycats</b>.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-67389334813213399072018-02-01T14:34:47.038-08:002018-02-01T14:34:47.038-08:00Cathy, I never watched either TV show as I was oft...Cathy, I never watched either TV show as I was often asleep when they came on--you know, after staying up late on Friday nights.
