I LOVE doing this for various 'Ships, and some of these ideas turn into absolutely *WIN* videos (hint, hint... ) So, I put forth to the rest of The Community: What would be your top songs to represent the E/J relationship? I'm not going to require a certain specific number, because that's arbitrary and often limiting. Just pick the absolute best. (And remember, I've had about 15-20 years to come up with these ideas, so I might have a leg-up on some... ) I'll start with my top three:
* "Don't Worry, Baby" -- The Beach Boys * "Geeks Get the Girls" -- American Hi-Fi * "Accidentally In Love" -- Counting Crows
Might be back with more later. Trouble is, I'm more used to thinking of "soundtracks" for contentious fictional relationships rather than amicable ones, so I have to sort through a lot of mental detritus. Your thoughts on the matter are of course, greatly appreciated!

Well, I think a big part of it is the place it was released: the GB1 soundtrack.
And if you actually listen to the lyrics, about love triumphing over separation, that seems to me to be very indicative of their relationship, at least in the combined GBOT/fan fic universe. Between Egon's troubles admitting his feelings, Janine's stupid flings, and the six years between RGB and EGB, they have to endure a lot of separation before their happy ending.
Drat, the video (and the whole account) are offline. If only I could remember what song I was referring to... Silly me. The band is presumably Epica, though - they're the only band I know to have a gorgeous redheaded female singer.
Here's another cool song I've found, fitting for Egon / Janine in the "interim" period, mid-90s.
Tristania - Exile, Kjetil Nordhus as Egon and Mariangela Demurtas as Janine. That was one of my first thoughts upon hearing the song.
Ok I found this on youtube. It is hilarious! Does anyone know anything else about this or know if the whole 30 minute play can be seen? I laughed till I cried! Check it out and reply!!

Hey, how' about "It Was Always You" by Maroon 5? It could apply to either one of them. Just replace the hazel eyes lyric with either blue(Egon) or green(Janine), and there ya go.

"Janine" by David Bowie
Oh my love, Janine I'm helpless for your smile Like a Polish wanderer I travel ever onwards to your land And were it not just for the jewels, I'd close your hand
Your strange demand To 'collocate' my mind Scares me into gloom You're too intense I'll have to keep you in your place I've no defence I've got to keep my veil on my face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well But I've got things inside my head That even I can't face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls But if you take an axe to me You'll kill another man Not me at all
You're fey, Janine A tripper to the last But if I catch you standing on my toes I'll have a right to shout you down For you're a lazy stream In which my thoughts would drown
So stay, Janine And we can glide along I've caught your wings for laughs I'm not obliged to read you statements of the year So take your glasses off And don't act so sincere
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well But I've got things inside my head That even I can't face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls But if you take an axe to me You'll kill another man Not me at all
