It took me a while to settle on a theme song. I'm a big movie buff so I figured it would be appropriate to pick a movie theme song. I (eventually) decided on the theme song from the Footloose. I love both versions of the movie and song. Kenny Loggins is the original singer but I decided to add the remake by Blake Shelton to this post.
And instead of Footloose, I'm calling it Bookloose so everytime you hear footloose in the lyrics just replace it with bookloose. Just for fun, I've included the lyrics (with my changes) below the video.
"Footloose" now Bookloose ;-)(originally by Kenny Loggins)
Ooooh-oh-oh
Ooooh-oh-oh
Yeah
Ooooh-oh-oh
Ooooo-oh-oh
Ooooo-oh-oh
I Been working so hard
I'm punching my card
Eight hours for what
Oh, tell me what I got
I get this feeling
Times just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Tonight I gotta cut loose, bookloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut bookloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Deep way down in your heart
You're burning yearning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You'll get by if you'd only
Cut loose, bookloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Oo-wee Marie, shake it, shake it for me
Woah, Milo, come on, come on let's go
Lose your blues, everybody cut bookloose.
Ooooh-oh-oh
(Cut bookloose)
Ooooh-oh-oh
(Cut bookloose)
Ooooh-oh-oh
(Cut bookloose)
Oooooooooh
We've got to turn you around
And put your feet on the ground
Now take a hold of your soul
I'm turning it loose
Bookloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut bookloose
(bookloose) bookloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
(Everybody) everybody cut bookloose
Ooooh-oh-oh
Yeah
Ooooh-oh-oh
Ooooo-oh-oh
Ooooo-oh-oh

Great choice! And - Girl... do you know how much I LOVE Blake Shelton??!! I have every single one of his CDs! I have loved him forever! One of my Favorite singers! When you told me you were thinking about this song I just assumed you'd pick the orig. (Which is awesome!) but this just puts the icing on the cake!
