Spin that record

I think people are supposed to think about their gear and mission and something or other about security when going to Iraq. This is all probably a good idea, but it's not where my mind is wandering as I sit at the terminal, ready to fly into the desert.
I'm wondering what my theme song will be this time.
For every trip I take, there is some song that fits it. Sometimes it's a song that bores through my skull for no apparent reason and lays eggs, connecting it with the memories. Last time in Iraq, that song was "We built this city on Rock and Roll" by Starship. I had hoped for something more appropriate like Jimi Hendrix's "All along the Watchtower" or Outkast's "Bombs over Baghdad." Instead, a pop tart from the 80s sneaked up on me.
I read a story explaining that we remember the songs of our childhood when we're in war zones. If that's the case, I'm staying away from any 80s music Web sites this time. Last thing I need is a fond 2007 memory from the field forever linked with the video from "You Spin Me Round like a Record Baby."
I've got a long trip ahead of me. See you in the sand.
