A variant of the TV theme thread. This is the music that plays as you walk, to indicate that you are a badass mofo.

Mine is Tom Jones - Sex Bomb.

x-post: Speedy OTM.

My life at the moment is more like a '50s light comedy, hence the soundtrack would be "April in Paris" by Count Basie (the use of the latter in Blazing Saddles is also currently apposite).
