The Zone

by **King Psyz** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:39 pm

I just picture in my head Mr. Zackty pants walking towards the sunset with the love story theme playing

by **colonel_lugz** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:40 pm

I wouldn't so much have a theme tune per se, i would be more background noise of heavy artillery and machine gun fire, just to keep me on my toes

by **ZombieZoneSolutions** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:43 pm

For now let my theme song be "Blank Frank" by BRIAN ENO:

Blank Frank is the messenger of your doom and your destruction
Yes, he is the one who will set you up as nothing
And he is one who will look at you sideways
His particular skill is leaving bombs in people's driveways.
Blank Frank has a memory that's as cold as an iceberg
The only time he speaks is in incomprehensible proverbs
Blank Frank is the siren, he's the air-raid, he's the crater
He's on the menu, on the table, he's the knife and he's the waiter

by **unikrunk** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:43 pm

@Psyz - exactly. Or in a park in late autumn, staring at the sky, lost in the past.

by **The Ginger Man** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:44 pm

I'm definately going with "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" by Tom Waits.

by **The Vicar** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 4:07 pm

Havoc - American Woman
Coldfire24 - You've Got Another Thing Coming
The Vicar - Jerusalem ( ELP version)
Kirk - My Dingaling ( been nominated elsewhere, I think...what the hell)
KON - Feelings?
thomasgaffney - What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
seppukudkurosawa - I'm Turning Japanese
Adam Balm - Video Killed the Radio Star
Ann Coulter - Reptile (by The Church)

Assuming this song is about Frank Black: I never knew such a song existed, but it should exist, as it is correct in all ways. Frank Black/Black Francis/Charles is a friggin' god.

Oh... I see...
When you were thinking of my theme song you decided that something which makes you want to throw your desk was appropriate for me???

Weird, I dig Eno, and never have heard of this. Also, the lyrics really seem to sum up Frank Black's writing style and basic presence

Dude, then you gotta check out some of Eno's early 70s albums -- "Blank
Frank" is on Here Come The Warm Jets. Another great album is
Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy...

Both highly recommended!

by **The Vicar** on Thu Jun 29, 2006 4:50 pm

Blank Frank is on Eno's Here Come the Warm Jets, featuring Robert Fripp ( King Crimson) on guitar.
Orignally released in 1974, a remastered version is readily available.
You like Eno, you'll like this.

RUBBISH! You get "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand.

"I'm so Lugz-y I'm so Lugz-y!!!!"

and J-L gets "I See Girls"

Havoc gets "The Joker" by Steve Harley, Space Cowboy that he is (only call him Maurice on weekends though) :lol:

And Kirk gets "Freak like me" by the Sugababes :wink:

(or perhaps it should be Rage Against The Machine eh?)

Oh, and Doc, anybody suggest "Wanted:Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi yet...

Good work, Alphonzo! I wanted to mention that song to athena before, but I didn't want her to think I was kissing her ass. That song rules! (As does the entirety of "It's Hard")

***

Athena, I had no idea how much I'd need her
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
My heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrong
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's a bomb

Athena, all I ever want to do is please her
My life has been so settled and she's the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's a bomb

Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
She's just a girl

Athena, my heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath
It felt like one of those flattened ants you find on a crazy path
I'd have topped myself to give her time she didn't need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath?
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's a bomb

Consumed, there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stage
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage
I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You got me requisitioned blondie
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's a bomb

I'm happy, I'm ecstatic
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
She's just a girl

Look into the face of a child
Measure how long you smiled
Before the memory claimed
How long would children remain
How long would children remain

Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed "leave her"
I felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter
And now you're stuck with a castrated leader
And I hate the creep, I didn't mean that
She's a bomb
I just said it
She's a bomb
I didn't mean
She's a bomb

Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
My life has been so settled and she's the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
Ooh, but I get along
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb

I always feel sorta bad in these type of threads when people assign music or a character or actor to you. I don't really know most people here well enough to reciprocate.
