The music of Liad

[rolanni]

Here's a fun game for a hot day!  Is there a song that, to you, particularly evokes a Liaden Universe® title ?  What is it?  If there's a recording on Youtube, link to it so everybody can hear it!

There are no right or wrong answers obviously.

Here, I'll start.

Agent of Change -- Life During Wartime, Talking Heads

Mouse and Dragon -- She was the Prize, Gaelic Storm

Let the game begin!

Smuggler's Blues by Glenn Frey always makes me think of Cantra. :)

Secret Agent Man... Agent of Change

[amm-me.livejournal.com]

Secret Agent Man -- oh, yeah! They give you a number (or a whole Loop of them) and they take away your name!

Oh My! I've been waiting for this question...

When I think of Liadens I usually hear Progressive Rock (Yes, ELP, Genesis, Moody Blues). When I think Terrans I hear Pop Rock and Pop Celtic. With the Turtles its only the band Afro Celt Sound System, http://afroceltsoundsystem.net/

So far I have these:
Scouts Progress:
Sweetness by Yes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xer1cBeNCwA
and
Your Own Special Way by Genesis,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAyFZuAyG2M&feature=related

Mouse and Dragon:
Come Undone by Duran Duran
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EqaAGLdgtQ&feature=related
and especially for the ending of the book
Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel) by Billy Joei http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9r1ZCPlbxU

I'm still working on the other books, more to come later...
Until Soon

Yep, hard pressed to beat that one! For those of you who don't remember the Johnny Rivers' song:

Question

[catherine ives (from livejournal.com)]

Do the cats have their favorite music? It's possible that Mozart likes Mozart but not necessarily of course.

Slightly different. My Bella, Italian Greyhound poodle mix (really) likes watching TV when any animal is in the show.

How about "Somewhere over the rainbow" for Fledgling or maybe Saltation. In particular, the line about "If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh why can't I?" although the lines about dreams that you dare to dream really do come true and trouble melt like lemon drops also sound a lot like Theo...

I don't know if Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is Val Con's or is for Carpe Diem.
It's corny, I know, but Plan B makes me think of Danger Zone (Kenny Loggins)

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

Got links? I never hear of Danger Zone, I think. And! If everybody links their own suggestions, it's easier to consolidate the list.

[reedrover]

Sorry! Oh, and I'm pretty sure you've heard Danger Zone. It's one of the three Well Known Songs from the movie Top Gun.

Danger Zone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPYF2p-cGx8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by JS Bach - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkUUjUJ4wHg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Val Con's theme is

Hi, never posted before, but I always thought of Perfect by Depeche Mode as pairing well with Liaden books.
