Theme Songs

So, it's something of a tradition to try and find music relating
to various characters or ideas in these games.
I'm generally quite bad at it, because I'm not actually that
versed in music and tend to be a bit literal about lyrics.
Nevertheless, I consider the song for the game at large (and in
no small part Amanda Sykes in specific) to be:
Walk on Water by Thirty Seconds to Mars,

Though, honestly, as dumb a song as it sometimes is, Billy
Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire kind of fits too...

I also know without the slightest doubt that LBJ's song is
Everybody Loves me Baby, by Don McLean.

For Dr. Horne, I actually tend to think of Night Surgeon, from
Repo: The Genetic Opera... though sometimes I think he's not
being played for tragedy enough for it to fully fit.

You know, I was originally going to bring up Men at Work's Land
Down Under in relation to O'Doyle as a joke... but he's such a
bogan it fits.

On a more serious note, his casual attitude and... uh... shall
we say quesitonable romantic choices makes me think of Sunshine
Superman.

Dr. Hertz is, of course, Tim Minchin's You Grew On Me.

Okay, I'm half kidding. I do think the song weirdly fits his
relationship with Rita after long, long years and sudden
reversals.
God, it's hard not to just plop Hurt here... but I'm going to go
with Imagine Dragon's Second Chances instead.

And, of course, I'd be remiss to leave out Donald Fagen's
utopian vision in I.G.Y.

Though, going to be honest here, Hertz has to share that last
one with Weeks, who arguably has a stronger claim to it.

And, of course, V1 gets John Lennon's Imagine. As performed by
Perfect Circle.

Weeks, of course, get's Legend of a Mind, by The Moody Blues.
Because, duh.

And, now that he's dead, this really is appropriate for Jones:
