I’m posting this a bit early, but March 3rd is “National Anthem Day”, according to the March/April edition of Weight Watchers Magazine.  The magazine writes, “Choose your own theme song on National Anthem Day. Write down the lyrics to a tune that you find uplifting (like one of Beyonce’s hits), and sing it anytime you want to ignite your motivation.”

I didn’t have too think too hard about this one – as I kind of already have my own personal theme song of sorts in Honor Society’s “Here Comes Trouble” I just love the intro and would love to have it play every time that I walk into a room!  Check it out here:

(Ok, the girl in the song might be a bit more trouble than me, but that’s ok!)

 

What song would you like to have as your National Anthem?  Post in the comments! (Feel free to link a video too so we can all check it out!)

  5. The theme song to Laverne and Shirley –

    Oh ooohhh…
    There is nothing we won’t try, Never heard the word impossible. This time there’s no stopping us. We’re gonna do it…

  7. Oh, I don’t think I’d like to have just one song “announcing” me. I’d like to think of myself as a multi-faceted person, and my preferences in songs change very often, depending on the mood, the circumstances of my life, new perspectives, actions and reactions, or just about anything.

  9. Great idea!  I don’t know what my song would be.  I’ll have to mull it over.  I know my kids would have lots of ideas!

  11. Lately, mine would have to be “The Art of Losing” by American Hi-Fi, but it really depends on my mood. If I should go with something a little more family-friendly, I’d have to go with “Sing Loud, Sing Proud” by the Dropkick Murphys.

  13. Oh goodness… music seems almost like a lost art for me… I was always listening to different kinds of music growing up but since having children I have rarely listened to much, so much that I don’t know what my anthem would be but the other day I was listening to a song by a band called Zebrahead(I used to listen to them when I was young and a bit more “punkish” if you could call me that…the only thing punk about me was my music) and it was talking about making it to the finish line. I guess that is mine for now because I’m trying to prepare to run a half marathon and the finish lines is so far away right now, lol! But will get closer!

    1. It’s just something fun to think about… now that you have it on your mind once you hear the song you’ll know it is yours

  15. Right now I do not have one but I know I should as I know it helps me when I am feeling down.

  17. I think it changes a lot.  It really depends on my mood and what is going on in my life.  I absolutely adore music and love listening while I am writing.  I stick my ipod on shuffle and off we go!  Yesterday (3/2/12) I had the strangest mix all morning but it was fun and it kept me motivated!

    1. I probably have more depending on my mood too – but I just really would love to have here comes trouble play every time i walk in a room!

  19. Nobody told me there would be a quiz! Just kidding. 🙂 I’m sitting here trying to think of all kinds of pop, country, and rock songs, when I suddenly decided that I think I’d like to have the Veggie Tales song, “God Is Bigger” as my theme song. Preferably sung as my 3-year-old sings it. He gets half the words wrong, but he sings it over and over, saying, “One more time!” in between. Yep, I need to be reminded “one more time”. 🙂 Great idea for a post. It’s fun reading all the replies.

  21. Wow…so many come to mind.  I guess “Survivor”, by Beyonce, or “Dance Floor Anthem” by Good Charlotte?  Conveniently both about breakups and conveniently both popular during my divorce lol

  23. Wow, I’m not sure what I would choose!  Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of pop music that I get from my exercise classes at the gym…you know, very motivating to work hard.  I’ll have to think on that 🙂

  29. How fun! I wish I had read this yesterday since today is March 4th. However, it is so fun, I am going to celebrate today. My song will be “Love Them Like Jesus” by Casting Crowns.

  31. I’m such a mom–the first song that popped into my head when I read this was the “Ready for Anything” song from the Backyardigan’s Mission to Mars episode. But hey, it’s catchy!

  35. MMm tricky one.  But I think ‘The Glory of Love’ by Peter Cetera – that was the theme song from Karate Kid 2 (ok showing my age there). Just my favourite song – but powerful and really gets me going whenever I hear it!

  37. Hmmm…”Don’t Worry Be Happy”….I don’t know.  Most of the songs I like aren’t ones I would pick as my anthem.  How sad is that!  I know…my kids and I listen to a kids station and there is a song called “Don’t Fill Up on Chips”. It’s hilarious and speaks to my love for Mexican food.  🙂

  39. I don’t have any idea what my anthem would be. LOL! I didn’t realize that March 3 was National Anthem day. I missed it. Have you ever looked at About.com and noticed that there is something every day? I was in charge of a bulletin board for a school once and noticed that.

    Thanks for sharing. Happy Week!

    1. It’s amazing how many things have “days”, I know recently it was National Pancake Day… I think the next time I need to come up with a post for a certain day I’ll head over to about.com to see what day it is and if that inspires me to make a post!

  43. One song that followed me…has to be Bon Jovi…and I would say either, “Love’s the Only Rule” or “It’s My Life”…

  45. I never really thought about it. The one song that always seems to come into my head is “How Great Thou Art”.  Not sure if it would really be considered an Anthem song, but maybe more of a life song.  Interesting idea, a personal anthem song.  Thanks for making me think.

  47. I used to have Alanis Morissette’s “Bi%&ch” as my anthem.  Because it just talks about how I’m a little bit of everything all rolled into one (including good and bad)!  Lately, I’ve been really liking Katy Perry’s “Firework”….both are really pretty good, I think!  Here’s Katy’s link:

    1. I have had the song Bitch stuck in my head since I first read this comment. Thanks! haha. I think some would argue that should be my anthem as well!

  53. I am so bad with song names.  I would pick something up beat and catchy.  Something that makes you smile even when things aren’t going as planned!  🙂 Any suggestions?

    1. For me, that song would be mmmbop by Hanson, but there are a lot of songs out there like that I think… I just can’t think of any others right now!

  59. I actually have never thought of this before. I have a lot of songs that I absolutely Love but not one that i think really FITS me. I used to have one when I was in college….”I wanna stay home today!” from the movie Shrek; but since then I haven’t found one that really fits. 

    1. I think that song fits me too – in school and even now. I think I have that thought every week day before I head in for work haha!
