Serious song question.

Which single song defines you.

Does not have to be the words (or title) but simply the one song that embodies you.

Now some (I'm looking at you Straummy) would say "we've done your favorite song already" but that's not exactly what I mean.

Example: I love My Old School by Steely Dan but I might say Aqualung defines me.

Have at it kidz.

    I'm tempted to say Whipping Post -- but that's not remotely close even though I feel like it some days. 

    I'll get back to you on this one.  I'll have to give some thought. 

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot--hey, who the hell are you guys?

    Can we really define ourselves?  Some might define me with "Fool on the Hill" or "Lump".  Others might choose, "Luatic Fringe", "Brain Damage", or "Crazy Train" for me.  At times, I might have been defined by "Creep", "Frankenstein", or "Through Being Cool". 

    I would hope that no one defines me with "Won't you be my Neighbor?", The Barney Theme, or "I'm just a Girl".  Likewise, I'm thinking that being defined by "Breaking the Law", "Jailbreak", or "Hangman" might have some consequences. 

    I think the easiest thing for me to do is to wait until I'm dead and then have someone else define me in retrospect.  Of course, that increases the liklihood that someone will choose to define me with "Dead Puppies Aren't Much Fun".

    Sorry, you said your question was sirius serious and I gave you a stupid answer.  Typical.

    I really don't know the answer.  I've thought about it for awhile now and I just don't know.  My brain hurts and it's time to go sit in traffic.  Is it "Rubberband Man", "Witch Hunt (Part III of Fear)", or "Raspberry Jam Delta V"? 

    I can't decide.

    Taking what UB said to heart (well, sort of), I'm going to go with what "others" have said should be the theme song that defines me:  Oingo Boingo's "Nothing Bad Ever Happens To Me."

    "Lump".
    That has got to be one of the all time greatest underrated rock songs ever. Here's a link for those who have never heard it.

    I don't know who or what I am anymore. I'm totally lost and every day I lose more and more of my mental faculties so I don't think I'll ever know, therefor picking a song to describe myself is hard.

    This one may come close ... I dunno ... I've been staring at my semi functioning X1 screen all day, I'm delirious.
