Day 30 - My Favorite Theme Songs

So Day 30 on the list was supposed to be "My favorite song this time last year", but that seemed lame to me. So I'm changing it to my favorite theme song. Now the real question is do I make it a TV, a movie, or a wrestling theme. It's the last day, so what the hell, here's all 3. My favorite TV theme is from a show that I literally grew up watching and basically ended up being part of a "Cheers" like bar at the Half Penny Pub of Sayville. So here's the theme from "Cheers", the extended version.



My favorite Movie theme song is from a movie that I love til this day. Here's Ray Parker, Jr with "Ghostbusters"



Last, but not least, is my favorite wrestling theme song. It needs no introduction...

Day 29 - A Song From My Childhood

Is it weird that the Beach Boys are directly responsible for getting me into Punk Music? Well here's a song from the Beach Boys, "Surfin' USA" and, fuck it, here's the Pennywise version as well. It's a 2 for 1 kinda day!

Day 28 - My Favorite Song of the Past Year

Well this was supposed to be "A Song That Makes Me Feel Guilty", but that sounds like Guilty Pleasure all over again. So I changed it. Now it's "My Favorite Song of the Past Year". This is just a fun song and was quite good to see live. This is The Creepshow with "Hellbound" off of the album "They All Fall Down". Definitely one of my favorite bands I've discovered since starting the Elvis & Alfred Show.

Day 27 - A Song I Wish I Could Play

As a bass player and big punk fan I consider Matt Freeman to be the best of the best when it comes to punk rock bassist. He's actually up there in my book for one of the best bassists overall too. Don't believe me, just watch this live version of Rancid's "Maxwell Murder". This solo is ridiculous and I don't think I could play this in my wildest dreams.

Day 26 - A Song I Can Play on an Instrument

I play my fair share of instruments at the mediocre level, but I'd say my best instrument is the bass guitar. I've been playing for a while now so I've learned a whole bunch of songs on it, but I'm gonna pick the one I've enjoyed playing the most. Even though most of the time I this song I played rhythm guitar and did vocals, but it was the most fun I had in my old band, Looking For Bettie. Who doesn't love a song where everyone gets to rock out? Here's "I'd Love to Change the World" from 10 Years After.
