The music of our lives

She looks deep into his eyes, knowing what she wants...he can feel it...won’t take longer…he passionately takes her into his arms…and glue their lips together in a wet kiss…peneneneneow…tutu…peneow…tutu…peneow….peneow…take my breath awaaaaaay…

Ok, now pause it. This might be a Top Gun scene, but what if it was your life? What if, just like in the movies, invisible speakers would play a theme song to illustrate its important moments?

Example: you and that one you always wanted, waited for so long until the so expected kiss… I bet at least 80% percent of occidental population would choose “I will always love you” by Whitney Houston for this moment (before you disagree, remember: the world is tacky AND gay). Or if you, girl, is feeling so hot and beautiful when you step into a disco…yeah, all the guys look at you wanting you…we put the scene in slow motion as you walk and your speakers start playing “My milkshake brings all the guys to the yard…” and you shake your hair like in a shampoo commercial…making your way to the dance floor under the jealous looks coming from the other girls around. Ahh…I know you liked the thought!

You guys, don’t get sad. There would be plenty of choices for you too. Think of someone pinching your girlfriend’s ass in a bar, and you see the bastard who did so… our beloved slow motion takes part again while you tight your fists full of fury screaming with that thick guttural voice: ”Noooooooooooo” and you deliver a skilled punch right into his face by the sound of “eye of the tiger is the thrill of the fight…”.

Well, here is today's list for moments and its theme songs:

-You just got dumped: “Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend…” by James blunt.

-You wake up in the morning and check yourself in the mirror: “You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful it’s true…” also by James blunt.

-You try your gala dress from last year and realize it won’t go up your hips: “Big girls you are beautiful…” by Mika.

-Your boss tells you today that he is travelling to Hawaii in two hours and you are gonna be the one responsible for his errands: “I hate you so much right now…Grrrr” by Kelis.

-Politicians on tv: “A little less conversation, a little more action please…” by Elvis.

And I don’t go further but there are so many instrumental songs we could use. As that one from the shower scene in Hitchcock’s’ movie “Pshyco”. Would fit nicely if you are sweating off your ass to cheat on a test under the teacher’s nose.

Anyways, we should start getting used to this theme song idea. Maybe Apple will come up with the new Ipod, which is intelligent enough to analyze the moments of your life and play a song that fits it nicely. Since it doesn’t exist yet and it’s 01:40 am here, I will now get some sleep thinking of a sweet lullaby (yes, that instrumental one). My eyes are closing slowly…my mind shuts…and I fall into Morpheus arms…zzzzzz…blimblim blim blim blim blim blim.
