I don't know about you all, but I like to "officially" declare various songs my new Leitmotif. I do this a lot, actually. Right now, my leitmotif is this. I love how magical it sounds! Just listening to it makes me feel so... powerful!

Does anyone else have a song that they consider their leitmotif? And explain why you like each song!

I would choose this variation from Blaze Heatnix song. Is catchy and energetic. Sadly, I can't find a not-Guitar hero version of this song on youtube. I would be grateful if you could give me a link to hear the song and only the song.

"Oh Well" by Rockets which is a cover of a Fleetwood Mac song.

I prefer the version from Rockets.

I just like the lyrics "Can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin. Don’t ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to. Oh Well"

"1979" by Smashing Pumpkins, which always gives me motivation to live a life of youth. Alternatively, "Wish" by Nine Inch Nails for when I feel anger towards the world.

Now I feel like the old song "Teddy Bears' Picnic" is more fitting for me. I especially love this rendition.

Alternatively, this version, since I love circus-related stuff.

As fictional worlds go, I've always felt a strong connection to Gallifrey. All of my leitmotifs tend to connect to it somehow, for instance This Is Gallifrey by Murray Gold (obviously) and Perpetual by VNV Nation.

But they seem to know where they're going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

This is my new leitmotif. [lol] I like how it's creepy, yet kind of floaty.

"The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin. After I spend almost a 6 months practicing it, played it at a couple of events, and used it in some videos I've made, it's pretty well associated with me.

I always have my leitmotif changing, which is why I have a few on the list on my page, like some other tropers I listed. But to be honest, I'd say March of Trash suits me best, lyrics-wise.

I think this accurately captures my worldview. The lyrics are both pessimistic and happy, and it's cheerful and catchy at the same time! It perfectly describes my cynical yet goofy nature.

Plus it's profanity-laden, which suits my potty mouth.

I'm not much of a K-Pop fan, but that song's pretty catchy.

I guess the office music from Sam & Max: Freelance Police is my theme nowadays. I find myself humming the tune a lot, whether I'm waiting, working on something, or just bored.

I'm not sure how to describe it, but lately I've decided my leitmotif should be something like "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (I especially like these versions), or this song. I like that kind-of mischievous sound.

"Humans and robots living together in harmony and equality. That was my ultimate wish."
