what song or phd theme tune would you have to describe your phd experience.... mine would be ...'I WILL SURVIVE'.!

hi mine would be "nothing compares to you"

In my lab, the PhD theme tune is 'Under Pressure' by Queen

Also Queen - I want to break free

The Animals and We gotta get out of this place, If it's the last thing we ever do...

Mylo Vs Miami Sound Machine - Dr Pressure

actually... being a female in acomputing dept - i would have to say 'its raining men!' - this is not a goood thing - just listen to this quote: 'the odds are good.... but the goods are odd'!

"It Wasn't Me" by Craig David...for all those b***ards that leave dirty glassware all over the bench and then feign innocence - despite their name being written in glass pen over every bloody bit of it

"Everyday I love you less and less" Kaiser chiefs

Urm....I have only just started...but I reckon in a few months my theme tune will be 'Bitch' by Meredith Brookes : 'I'm your your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between and you wouldn't want it anyway'.

Thank you angsty Dawsons Creek for giving me that song!

I found the Will Young song "Stronger" quite motivating on days when things are all going pear-shaped

"It only makes me stronger when you say I won't succeed.
I'll work that bit harder when you say you see no strength in me.
The barriers, I'll break 'em down,
I'll prove myself, I'll stick around,
I'll get through it all somehow.
Nothing's unreachable.

Oh, it's just a state of mind.
If you set yourself up to fall,
You'll never get there at all.
All you've got to do is rise,
It takes more to break me than a wave or two,
Whatever set to test me gonna make me through."

I think when I start it will be Queen: Don't try so hard:

If you're searching out for something, don't try so hard
If you're feeling kind of nothing, don't try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave it for another day... don't try so hard

But if you fall and take a tumble, it won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble, thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful, and treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you, stay right where you are

Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
Don't try so hard

the scientist by coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you Im sorry
You dont know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
Im going back to the start

Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh (x4)

or maybe insane in the mebrane by cypress hill...or a million others...but I dont want to flood the thread!
