Theme Songs ... Anyone?

What is a theme song? A theme song is a signature tune that becomes synonymous with the person or group of people, making it instantly recognizable and evoking emotions or memories associated with it.

It can also be a song that reminds a person of their own personal experience or specific life events.

For instance for a couple na palaging away-bati ... na nauwi sa "KASAL-an" pero palagi na lang "nagkaka-SAKAL-an" ... ceasefire at recess na lang yong love sa kanilang favorite past time na pagbabangayan.

Bagay sa kanila maging theme song ang kanta ng Carpenters na Hurting Each Other" especially with lyrics that runs:

"All my life ... I could love only you ...

All your life... you could love only me ...

Tell me why then ... oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other (2x)

Making each other cry ... hurting each other ...

Without even knowing why ..."

With that said ... in the spirit of fun, nakatuwaan ng mga kasama ko na bigyan ng suspension of hostilities o truce ang mga katotong politiko... pagkatapos ng tensyon gawa ng flood projects scams. Let us put a little smile in their faces.

In the same vein, maraming ding mga nakakatuwang mga relasyon at experiences ang mga  politiko na ating hinahangaan ... dapat may mga theme songs sila na isinasabuhay at may signature songs na ginagawang gabay sa kanilang masalimuot na pagpasok sa mundo ng politika.

What is that one song that could be their own personal musical hallmark?Dahil wala silang imik ... mismo ang kanilang mga tagahanga at detractors na ang kusang loob na nagmungkahi ng mga theme songs ng mga ito.

Hindi na lyrics ang pinagbasihan nila sa pagpili katulad ng couple mentioned sa itaas. The title of the song is enough. At wala ng explanation pa kung bakit? 

Sa mga politiko naman ... bato bato sa langit ang tamaan huwag maging pikon. Ang hirap na nga ng buhay ... seryosohin pa ba ninyo ang konting laro ... eh nagkatuwaan lang naman.
