If you had a small part from a song play every time you entered a room with other people, what would you want your theme to be?

Mine would have to be Oops I Did It Again, it'd just be the start of the chorus. I think that would nearly always fit the situation.

Since in most scenarios I'd prefer people left the room when I entered, I don't know- the opening SCREAM from the President song In The Name of The Father?

The opening theme from the Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. that's currently being used in the Olympics.

Realistically, that would get annoying pretty fast and I'd soon learn to hate any song I chose. So I'd pick 4โ€ฒ33โ€ณ, which is four minutes and 33 seconds of silence.

But otherwise I'd pick "One Bad Tank", from the video game Left4Dead2. It's the song that plays when the boss enemy enters a particular map.

Made me think of the sound when you encounter a Pokemon in the OG gameboy versions.

From "Young Frankenstein", by the way. I couldn't resist finding out where that came from. It's the scene where they first arrive at the castle.

Holy shit it is the Adventures of Briscoe County Jr. theme!

It's not some classic composer or something; it was literally written for that show and since it was such a good song and the show got cancelled after one season they totally snatched it up!

I like Omen, but it's not as good if a walk in song. Great soundtrack top to bottom though.

If you want to come across as the murderous villain you might as well pick bodies by drowning pool. Or pumped up kicks.
