The Theme Proposal Thread

As all of you know by now, I'm not a big 'theme within a theme' guy.

However, I quite enjoy just coming up with themes, and thought it might be nice to have a place to document them. Thus this thread.

I'll start with an idea that I mentioned to Deb on our seventeenth trip (and thank God next to last) to Cheney last weekend:

Names in a hat. You draw a name (not yours) and then assign that person their theme for the next meeting.

Example: I draw Marcy's name and say "Marcy, your theme is to find three songs that reference Music Club members". Marcy then says "Man, I hate this theme!". Hilarity ensues. (For the record, I have that exact theme ready to roll at some point).

Feel free to add your own ideas for themes in the comments.
