I thought the Smuggler Theme Song would have been "Can't Get No Satisfaction'.
That or "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
Except for the fact that we'd have to change it to "You Can't Ever Get What You Want".
There's trouble on the streets tonight,
I can feel it in my bones.
I had a premonition
that he should not go alone.
I knew the gun was loaded,
but I didn't think he'd kill.
Everything exploded
and the blood began to spill.
So baby here's your ticket
with your suitcase in your hand.
Here's a little money
now do it just the way we planned.
You be cool for twenty hours
and I'll pay you twenty grand.
I'm sorry it went down like this,
but someone had to lose,
It's the nature of the business,
It's the smuggler's blues.
The sailors and pilots,
the soldiers and the law,
the payoffs and the ripoffs,
and the things nobody saw.
Don't matter if it's heroin, cocaine, or hash,
You got to carry weapons
'Cause you always carry cash.
Lots of shady characters,
and lots of dirty deals.
Every name's an alias
just in case somebody squeals.
It's the lure of easy money,
it's got a very strong appeal.
Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standin' in my shoes,
It's the ultimate enticement,
It's the smuggler's blues, smuggler's blues.
You can see it in the headlines,
You hear it everyday.
They say they're gonna stop it,
But it doesn't go away.
They're movin' through Miami and sellin' in LA,
They hide it up in Telluride,
I mean it's here to stay.
It's proppin' up the governments in Columbia and Peru,
You ask any DEA man,
He'll say "there's nothin' we can do",
From the office of the President,
right down to me and you, me and you.
It's a losing proposition,
But one you can't refuse.
It's the politics of contraband,
It's the smuggler's blues.
Smuggler's blues.
Glenn Frey wrote it. Remember it from an episode of Miami Vice. Switch some town names, switch some drugs for spices, and you're good to go.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...

I've always had a soft spot for "Dirty Deeds(Done Dirt Cheap"
If that were a true Smuggler song, it'd be "Dirty Deeds (Done for as much as I can get out of ya!)".
Great... we've been reduced to Smokey and the Bandit in space.....
For shame... for shame...

I've always been partial to "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" by Tomoyasu Hotei. It's the theme from Kill Bill vol. 1.
At the very least, it's my personal theme song.
LOL.
That's the MP3 ringtone on my mobile.

Now all we need is an idiotic sherriff and deputy chasing us all around space with a really busted up ship, a CB radio, and we're good to go!
That would be kinda funny to see.
