As soon as I saw this goal, I immediately knew I must adopt it. According to Jack Spade in the movie “I’m Gonna Git Ya Sucka”, “Every good hero should have some.” Jack Spade chose to have a 70’s style funk band follow him down the street, ending the movie in righteous style.

Many questions arise from this goal.
What type of music fits me the best? Should I go with a powerful Wagnerian influenced march like Darth Vader in Star Wars? Or should I go with a quirky funk tune like John Shaft? Would I stick with just one theme, or would it be better to select a small variety of tunes with one central overall phrase? Should I hire John Williams, Hans Zimmer, or maybe go for the cartoony sounds of Carl Stalling?

The only answer I have thus far is that it must be original and it must be fitting to me. It should be easily identifiable and catchy. Yes, the first step to getting your own theme music is creating it first. Then, it should be time to figure out how, where and when it should play.
