Question of the Day

Suggested by Shaker BeatrixComet: What song do you feel so captures your identity that you would call it your theme song? What experiences, memories, etc. make the song important and relevant to you?

(Just so you know, Shaker BeatrixComet will be using this thread as part of her final project this semester, in which she is making a mix CD of "songs that people feel are a part of their identity." So make sure you include both song title and artist for her!)

Hmm, I'm going to have to think about this one for awhile…

UPDATE: Okay, here's mine. Thanks, Joan. (Lyrics below.)



I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past; it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do
And that's what I'm gonna do
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me

And I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only doin' good qhen I'm havin' fun
And I don't have to please no one
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care if ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
And I'm never gonna care 'bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

(Pedal boys!)

And I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
The world's in trouble; there's no communication
And everyone can say what they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care 'bout a bad reputation
Anyway

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past; it's a new generation
And I only feel good when I got no pain
And that's how I'm gonna stay
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
Not me, not me!
