Looking for music / song recommendations to play along with.
The title says most of it. I am looking for any music or specific songs you find fun to put on in the background and play your theremin with.

I don't know if others would find this suggestion helpful, but I found that YouTube karaoke versions of songs are really nice to play to.

I use this playlist whenever I want to practice. Maybe not every track is apt for improvising along for you, but maybe some will be! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6VccfBx30a0n9KXntKlZ9O?si=51a83285b45d45f4

Although they do not use traditional theremins, I use these as they are slower and easy for me to practice glisaando and vibrato with. Mysterious Fish-Feeding Frenzy 2 Shipwreck Showdown, and Portishead-Mysterons. There's also a playlist of a video game soundtrack that got me into the theremin...and took me only 20 years to finally get one. This is the one I am practicing with, but in this playlist you can find many more thereminesque sounding scores, (the cave ones).

There's a small theremin solo in I Just Wasn't Made For This Times, an incredibly sweet, emotional song by the Beach Boys. It's roughly at the 2:20 mark. Certainly fun to play along, even the whole song. Check it out!
Also maybe Good Vibrations, there's a theremin used in the chorus
