In the show Ally McBeal, Ally sees therapist Dr. Tracy Clark, played by the wonderful Tracy Ullman.

One piece of advice Clark gives Ally is that she needs a theme song, something that gives her confidence, gives her a lift as you walk down the street.

Of course, Ally chooses "Tell Him", by The Exciters. Dr. Clark tells her to hear it faster.

It's a good choice, no question.  For a girl.  I, however, am no girl.

I did wear a dress once, but that's a whole different blog.

I'm a firm believer in having a theme song. I believe that it does give you confidence, especially when entering a room.  How many entrances in movies or on television have been magnified with a good soundtrack?

For the longest time, my theme song was George Thorogood & The Destroyers version of Bo Diddly's Who Do You Love. Walking into a room with those low, grumbling chords throbbing under my feet was always an instant boost.

But, it got a bit tired. And, of course, it's association with the movie Joe Dirt didn't help.

So, I went on the search for a new song, something with power, force, something that would make me stand straighter, taller and more serious than anyone else in the room I walked into.

And I found Rammstein.

I think I made a good choice, don't you?
