Ohmega Watts is a hip-hop producer / MC from Brooklyn. Nestled within his impressive most recent release, Watts Happening, is this funky, old-school, afrobeat-licious instrumental groove called “The Platypus Strut”.
Everyone should have a personal theme song or two to play in their head (or iPod) while they’re walking down the street. For me, this may have to join the Commodores’ “Machine Gun”, Kool & the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie”, and Prince’s “Sexy MF” in my list of “walk down the street like a bad-ass” theme songs.
What’s your theme song?

As cliché as it may sound, “Staying Alive” has always held a spot for me when it comes to that ‘funky theme song’ category.

James Brown: ‘Shake Everything You Got’ or ‘Pass the Peas’
Grateful Dead: ‘Shakedown Street’
Not sure what it’s gonna be today, it’s tough to strut with a foot of fresh snow on the ground!

Not mine, but someone I know has as his personal theme song, Nazareth’s “Hair of the Dog” (Now You’re Messing With a Son of a Bitch). Great theme song.

When I strut through the landscape like a white Truck Turner, I’m nodding along to Hercules by Truck Turner.
