"Hybrid Rainbows" by The Pillows.

The song is in Japanese, but I still think it would fit.

The Japanese:
Hotondo shizunderu mitai na mujintou
Chikyuugi ni nottenai, namae mo nai
Kinou wa chikaku made, kibou no fune ga kita kedo
Bokura wo mukae ni kitan janai

Taiyou ni mitorete sukoshi kogeta
PURIZUMU wo hasande, te wo futta kedo

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Kinou made erabarenakatta bokura demo
Ashita wo matteru

Hotondo shinbonderu bokura no hikousen
Jimen wo suresure ni ukanderu

Yobikata mo tomadou iro no sugata
Toridachi ni yousha naku tsutsukareru darou

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Kitto mada
Genkai nante konna mon janai
Konnan janai

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Koko wa tochuu nan datte shinjitai
I can feel
I can feel that hybrid rainbow
Kinou made erabarenakatta bokura demo
Ashita wo motteru

The translation:
A desolate island nearly sunk into the sea
It's not on any map, it has no name
Though yesterday the ship of dreams came near
It did not come to meet us

Mesmerized by the sun, I'm a little burned
Though I raise my prism to the sky

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Even we who were not chosen yesterday
Are waiting for tomorrow

Nearly shrivelled up, our airship
Skims across the ground

Its color is beyond description
The birds will peck it remorselessly

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Surely
We can still go farther
Farther than this

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
I want to believe we're on our way
I can feel
I can feel that hybrid rainbow
Even we who were not chosen yesterday
Still have tomorrow

There are several songs that conjure up thoughts of Firefly. The one I'm offering would not have come to my mind if I hadn't JUST heard it today on the radio.

So in the interest of this new thread, and the coincidence of hearing a certain song by Bon Jovi...

"Wanted Dead Or Alive"

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

[Chorus:]
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're all alone all you do is think

[Chorus]
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

In terms of lyrics, I always thought "Minority" by Green Day worked pretty well.

Also, "Wide Open Spaces" by the Dixie Chicks would work as a theme song for Kaylee. Especially when you think of outer space as wide and open.

Oh yeah, sorry for the triple post. I forgot my password.

I"m partial to this song by Toby Kieth & Willy Nelson: "Beer for my Horses."

Lyrics :

Well a man come on the 6 o’clock news
Said somebody’s been shot, somebody’s been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn’t get too far yeah
They didn’t get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that

Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune
We’ll all meet back at the local saloon
We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
We’ve got too much corruption, and crime in the streets
It’s time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send ’em all to their maker and he’ll settle ’em down
You can bet he’ll set ’em down ’cause

Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune
We’ll all meet back at the local saloon
We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune
We’ll all meet back at the local saloon
We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

"I'll be in my bunk..."

So, that's a good song for Jayne.

I like "Shiny Happy People" by REM for Kaylee

I am surpirsed no one has mentioned the perfect theme song for Wash: "Walk the Dinosaur." I forget the name of the band, but you remember the song:

"Open the door
Get on the floor
Everbody walk the dinosaur."

Mal's theme should be something dripping with melencholy. Something new by Paul Westerberg created especially for BDM.

Simon's song is another natural, even if I forget the artist: "I fought the law, and the law won."

River's song should be one of Paul Simon's newer ones with those free association lyrics he's into now. Maybe a new song. "Purple Elephants are Flying." with a chorus of "Two by two, hands of blue."

And even though Book is a mellow man of the cloth now, I can not think of him without hearing some martial John Phillip Sousa march. Onward, Christian Soldiers, indeed!

Zoe. Zoe. What do we do for Zoe. Zoe needs some kind of lusty amazon music. Maybe even without lyrics. I think Zoe and I hear something that is a mix of the themes from Jonny Quest and Survivor.

The only one that really trips me up is Inara. I think Inara and I hear some sentimental sap fro Fleetwood Mac. I really dislike Fleetwood Mac. SO, I have decided that I have no choice but to now hate Inara as well. Oh well. Some sacrifices have to be made. For Inara we play a funeral march.

I'm sure we could grt something for Inara.

Hey all you! Yes, the ones reading! What's a good Inara song?

I think something Oriental-sounding.

How 'bout Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo? One of my all-time favorites! And I think it has a nice, Firefly-ish twang going on with it. They whoop and holler in it, too, so that's always good!

Oh - but not a good song for Inara.

There is a lovely album by an artist named Karanush called Zen Breakfast, always makes me think of Inara...probably be way to mellow for a vid though.

For something on the "cheezy" side, how about "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer...course, that really fits Nandi and the HoG girls better...LOL
