Backlogger's Theme Songs

There I was, watching a blind playthrough of someone playing Ace Attorney for the first time. A character appears on screen as their theme song plays, pretty normal stuff for any visual novel. But then that got me thinking; if you talked to me in real life, what song would play in the background? What would evoke my character the most in a casual conversation? But not just that, what about if you fought me as a boss character? Or perhaps if I joined your party and a little jingle plays?
And why stop at just myself, what about other people on this site? What would your theme songs be?

So for this list, you can include as many songs as you like while labeling the type of song it would be, based on the context (IE: Boss theme, Conversation Piece, Confession Theme, Chase Theme, Sad Theme, Victory Theme, and so on. Can even be something extremely specific). The song can either be a song you feel fits you as a person, or instead it'd be one you'd like to play simply because you like the song.
As this is a gaming site, I would like to stick to songs from games. If you would like to choose a non-gaming song, then I'd ask you to pick a game that I can use to add into this list. Example: A song called "Armageddon" while using Fallout 1 as a entry (or it could be Peppa Pig if you wanted to be goofy). Mostly since I'd rather not have to use blank spaces on this list. Lastly, you may also nominate a song for someone else. I would need the person who was nominated to say they're fine with being included in the comments (be sure to @ them) before including that entry.

Apart from all of that, go nuts.

AlphaOne2's Conversation Theme
Difficult People
This song evokes the perfect awkward energy if you spoke to me for the first time. There'd be a lot of stammering, mumbling, and adjusting of my glasses. Perhaps after a while I could regain some semblance of control, but that undercurrent of uneasiness never fully leaves.

AlphaOne2's Boss Theme
Asterisk Boss Theme 1
I'd definitely be one of those early game bosses used to skill check players who haven't adapted to the mechanics of this turn-based RPG yet. Probably be a real obnoxious summoner who constantly summons more monsters that serve to tank, deal damage, and inflict annoying as Hell status effect while I'd also provide buffs to the summons. But then players would figure out that I'm vulnerable to silence and I'd become a total pushover.

AlphaOne2's World Map Theme
Eternal Wind
We're going on an adventure! If only random battles would stop interrupting this song. (Not the original version of this song, but all the other versions on YouTube had terrible quality)

AlphaOne2's Tagic Backstory Song
Sad 1
"I was powerless to stop it, all I could do is watch as they bled out. Staring at me as their eyes clouded, and their breathing slowed. Their face is forever burned in my memories."
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p-7-TLHg9Ls&pp=ygUaWWFrdXphIGxpa2UgYSBkcmFnb24gc2FkIDE%3D
AlphaOne2's Pre-Finale Theme
"Whatever you have left unfinished, do it now. Once you take one more step, there will be no turning back."
I always love it when games are explicit that you're about to hit a point-of-no-return.

Mementos from Persona 5

Pokemon is here to represent how the music changes when you hop on a bike, by their analogy.

Vee's Boss Theme
Struggle for Existence
"I'm a down on my luck veteran who's been in the game for a while and has found their interest in the sport to be puttering out, I helped you learn the mechanics at the beginning and gave pointers for certain upcoming strong opponents. On the sidelines I watched as you took everyone down almost effortlessly, and through watching your matches it reignited my passion, and thus my competitive spirit is reborn anew. You plow through the final tournament with ease, you await your opponent in the finals to see who will take on the champion, and it is revealed....as none other than I. Show me everything you got friend."

"It's the song that plays when the customer wants to speak to my manager... but I'm the manager."

MrWarm's Sleeping Theme
Reminiscence (Music Box)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBnuI55vlkQ
spageddystyle's Main Theme
Sweet Blue Flag
"The wonderful calming little opening piano notes, leading into the synths, and more chaotic snares and stings mirror my own struggles with maintaining my own mental state, but the song starts to fade out, the chaos fades, things calm down, I'm still here."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz5BaXTjYEg

Mementos Theme from Persona 5, repetitive, upbeat, plodding along. Triumphant theme would be Noble Pope from jojos. And if i'm riding a bike the track changes like in pokemon, to Chillin' By Modjo

@LordDarias Question, what theme is related to Mementos? Is it your main theme? Conversation theme?
I did add all three, just wanted some clarification. Thank you.

3 months ago

@theia Added. Not sure about the link situation, though I was using my phone for all the previous links so maybe it has something to do with that (I'm honestly not very tech literate to know for sure). Regardless they all seem to work at least. Thank you very much.

Oh my god I love this idea so much! This is a great list and love seing evryone's entries and yours! As for me, I got the perfect pair of ideas:

Never in my life I've gotten in a fight, but if I was a boss, I got the feeling I'd be those joke bosses that die in one while this plays in the background

Also I really like the idea of having themes during the saving proccess(which in this case I guess is sleeping xD), so I have to choose the song that makes me feel the most at peace, such a fantastic tune for relaxing.

@BEAUTIFULBRUTE Lots of songs and creative categories. Thanks so much. And don't worry about restraining yourself. Feel free to go nuts with songs you want to include.

@DeemonAndGames Added both as well. And honestly with the addition of your profile pic, that Boss Theme really is perfect.

And I really appreciate y'all adding links to make this process easier.

@theia - I think you did them the wrong way round. description first [in these] then afterwards (link)

@FallenGrace yeah i realized it right after lol i'm having that kind of day

3 months ago

@faea Added. I really love the explanations you gave for both of them. It's also real interesting listening to Gen 2's version of Lavender Town again since the original is all you'll hear online, but Gold/Silver's is compelling in it's own, less-creepy way.

I'm drawing a blank for myself, but I'd like to participate regardless since I love game music and this is a grand idea, so I'm gonna bullshit a reasoning for using Struggle for Existence from Dynasty Warriors 4 as my boss theme in perhaps some kind of Pokemon-esque or competitive trading card game sim.

I'm a down on my luck veteran who's been in the game for a while and has found their interest in the sport to be puttering out, I helped you learn the mechanics at the beginning and gave pointers for certain upcoming strong opponents. On the sidelines I watched as you took everyone down almost effortlessly, and through watching your matches it reignited my passion, and thus my competitive spirit is reborn anew. You plow through the final tournament with ease, you await your opponent in the finals to see who will take on the champion, and it is revealed....as none other than I.

Yakuza 0's Get Them Boss Theme. It's the song that plays when the customer wants to speak to my manager... but I'm the manager.

@Vee & @hotpoppah Both added, and I love both of your descriptions for very different reasons. I love the amount of thought people are giving for this list.

Ohh i hope youre enjoying watching someone play ace attorney for the first time, what case are you on?

Anywayz, theme of me taking a walk

And if I had a recollections theme ace attorney style, it would probably be this

3 months ago

@moschidae Both added, thanks as always!

For the playthrough they're only on case 2 of the first game, though they are joined by two others who are big fans of the series. Pretty fun as Sungwon Cho is one of them, as he voices a lot of characters. He's eerily perfect as the judge.

3 months ago

Oh yeah :0 i remember way back in the day prozd used to do a lot of ace attorney voiceovers. He even voiced Sebastian in the investigations 2 fandub, so hes a pretty good fit to do aa justice. Hope u enjoy the rest of the game, youre in for a real treat :D
