The last couple of WSJ weekend editions have included articles on “the soundtrack of your life” — the phenomenon of people developing mp3 playlists of personal theme songs. Today, a guy explains how he’s been obsessed with entrance music: “At many ballparks these days, baseball players are choosing their own music to be played on public-address systems when they come up the plate.” He spent two weeks trying to figure out what he’d pick. (He went with “Mars,” from Holst’s “The Planets”–it sounds sort of like the Darth Vader/imperial march music.)

This got me thinking. Maybe here on The Corner, songs should play in the background whenever someone reads one of our items. Here are a few top-of-my-head ideas:

K Lo: “Election Day,” by Duran Duran offshoot Arcadia.

Jonah: “Volcano,” by Jimmy Buffett.

Derb: “Straight Into Darkness,” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Rod: “The Village Green Preservation Society,” by the Kinks.

Stuttaford: “Radio Free Europe,” by R.E.M.

Ramesh: “Ponnuru for SCOTUS,” by They Might Be Giants. (Okay, I made this one up. But it ought to be a TMBG tune.)

Me: “Say Yes! To M!Ch!Gan!” by Sufjan Stevens.

Also, maybe Jonah and I could have a fight over who gets to use “Good Morning, Good Morning” and “Good Day Sunshine” by the Beatles. We could settle the matter in a winner-take-all game of tiddlywinks.
