The Dandy Warhols, "We Used to Be Friends" (theme from Veronica Mars) via iTunes (Mike Papa Whiskey)
Commentary: Thus draws to a close this initial, fifteen-song foray into the theme song theme, initial because there are still a goodly number of theme songs in my music library & I eager anticipate revisiting this theme. You may have noticed, or registered in the back of your mind without quite noticing, one glaring omission from this theme song theme: Where were the innumerable magnificent theme of the peerless John Williams? Star Wars? Indiana Jones? Superman? (And more!) That's just it, who can possibly compete with that body of work? Any of those alone would have made him one of the greats. That so much soul-stirring, iconic music flowed from the fertile mind of one self-effacing man boggles the mind. So, it was decided early to give the also-rans a chance to shine, to set the maestro aside simply so that his genius would not outshine the others' contributions.
Next: Happy Hallowe'en, ladies & ghouls!
