Well, I think you mean "12 tone" or "atonal", not "12 tonal".
And, the minimalist and twelve-tone/serialist schools are somewhat
distinct.
But I do like the idea of a twelve-tone theme song. Something by Webern,
say. (Or maybe *everything* by Webern... his complete works fit on only
two or three CDs...)
Or maybe there's an appropriate tune from Berg's "Wozzeck"...

They are obscure? Damn. I would have gone for the likes of Dave
VanRonk or
Pine Top Perkins or the ever blessed sounds of the Jordinairs
for obscure.
For real fun lets pick a tune in miminalist 12 tonal style.
