Your Entry Music

[Valmore]

Pro wrestlers have them. Many baseball players have them. It's theme music - a little song that plays when you come out to the ring or step up to the plate.

So, say you get to have your own entrance music - anytime you walk into the office, or step up to the plate in city league softball, or when you enter a bar, music starts playing announcing "THIS DUDE IS HERE!" What would you choose as your song?

[Forefinger]

Disturbed's "The Sickness"

[hoffmandu]

Sir-Mix-Alots Baby Got Back.

[Josh S]

The opening to "Kickdown" by Long Beach Dub Allstars.

[Typo Lad]

"Cause I'm an asshole"

[Mike Smith]

I'd go with a Queen song, but something along the lines of "Bicycle" or "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". It would throw the opponents off and let me listen to some good music at the same time.

[SOGG]

Beethoven's 7th trio



.... cause I'm pretentious like that.

[Grazzt]

Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain"

[Lubichev]

The theme to The People's Court

[Gingold]

"Here comes your man" by the Pixies.

[Dom]

The Imperial Death March

[i_mmmchocolate]

Money ain't a thang! - Jay Z & Jermaine Dupri!

[BlairH]

We were at the beach!
Everybody had matching towels!
Somebody went under a dock, and there they saw a rock!
But it wasn't a rock!
It was a rock LOBSTER!
Rock lobster!
ROCK LOBSTER!

(The Peter Griffin version, not the B52 version)

[Michael P]

"The Mississippi Squirrel Revival."

[Xetal]

Tubthumping - Chumbawumba

[Zombienorthstar]

'Burn Baby Burn' by Ash....flanked by cheerleaders.

[kmeyers]

Same as my phone ringtone...Michael Myers theme from Halloween.

[jessecuster3]

I'm torn. Either:

Change - Blind Melon
or
Bittersweet Symphony - Verve
or
Cigarettes and Alcohol - Oasis

[Dennis K]

Fu*kin' In The Bushes ~ Oasis

[Tages]

"The Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash

[The Dog]

"Blood Red Sandman" by Lordi.

[mrc1214]

"Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains

[Jack Zodiac]

"Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains

Ha! On that note...

"Rooster" by Alice in Chains. Ignoring the fact that it's really about his father fighting in Vietnam, when I first heard it, I just thought it was about the proverbial "cock of the walk".

[Jeff Brady]

After MUCH deliberation, it'd have to be "So What" by Miles Davis.

About 30 songs were tied for second.

[Ed Cunard]

John Cage's 4'33".

...

[Archyduke]

The Legionairre's Lament- The Decemberists.

[Jade_GL]

*Push It* or *Stupid Girl* - Garbage

*Come Into My World*- Kylie Minogue

*Dancing Queen* - ABBA

Kind of a weird combination, but I have eclectic tastes, so I could use any of these Garbage for when I am pissed off, Kylie for my Diva-ish entrance, and ABBA to f*ck people up since it s so unexpected. :D

[PunkMC]

Easy,

Walk - Pantera

[DubipR]

Toughie...

Either the theme song from Barnaby Jones or Glass Bead Game by Thievery Corporation

[Valmore]

Everyone Alive - Local H

Great guitar riffs and a great drum beat.

[Clint Barton]

Harvester of Eyes-Blue Oyster Cult

[Gaz]

Baba O'Riley, by The Who.

Or maybe Behind Blue Eyes, but my eyes are green, so...

[Paul McEnery]

Oh, it would have to be Dusty singing Son of a Preacher Man.

[JolietJake]

Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker

[Matt]

The Peter Gunn Theme
or alternatively,
Can't turn you loose

[BlairH]

The Transformers theme would be fucking perfect.

[Gaz]

The Transformers theme would be fucking perfect.
Which one?:p

[BlairH]

Which one?:p

Transformers
More than meets the eye
Transformers
Robots in Disguise
Transformers

Autobots wage their Battle
To destroy the evil forces
Of the Decepticons


I suppose "The Touch" would be awesome as well.

[StoneGold]

There's at least two different variations on that from the original show alone.


I don't think you're worthy of the theme if you didn't realize that.

[BlairH]

There's at least two different variations on that from the original show alone.


I don't think you're worthy of the theme if you didn't realize that.
I'm so worthy, that I'd demand my very own variation on the theme.

[Ed Cunard]

I'm so worthy, that I'd demand my very own variation on the theme.

I'm thinking a Pat Boone cover...

[Gaz]

There's at least two different variations on that from the original show alone.


I don't think you're worthy of the theme if you didn't realize that.
Three, if you count the version from the movie, or the spruced up version.

And add the animes and various revivals...

[OzBat!]

"Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf!

Okay, okay, I lack the leathers, the bike, I don't even like metal that much. But what an entrance! Quickly followed by being mobbed for being such a prat for even thinking of using it!! I'd then switch to:

"Born to be Alive" by Patrick Hernandez (or the new electronic dance re-mix doing the rounds lately, don't know who by), from the safety of my hospital bed as they wheel me into the ward from emergency!

[K'Nort]

I still can't get Gonna Fly Now out of my head.

[Dan Apodaca]

[Devon C.]

"Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos", by Public Enemy.

Or "U can't Touch This", by MC Hammer.

[Perry Holley]

Tom Sawyer - Rush

[Patient Boy]

I wish somebody would walk behind me with a boombox playing 50 Cent's "In Da Club". That beat is still insane.

[Erebus]

Fuck a Dog: Blink 182

[Jack Zodiac]

"Battle Without Honor or Humanity" - Tomayasu Hotei

Isn't that the overused music from "Kill Bill" when O-Ren and her crew are entering the House of Blue Leaves? The one that's been used for everything from car commercials to Internet poker ads. I'd think someone had their television blaring every time you entered a room. :p

[meethraa]

Final Countdown by Europe.

[Jack Zodiac]

Final Countdown by Europe.

Best use of Europe ever (http://www.stanford.edu/~scodary/tkam.htm). That's some mighty epic entry music, by the way. :) It'd be like using "Achilles' Last Stand", but shorter.

[Dan Apodaca]

Sorry, but Gob's got that spot permanently.

[Patient Boy]

Final Countdown by Europe.

Arrested Development fan?

[Motormouse]

Don't know what it is, sure is Funky - Ripple

or

Duel of the Fates - John Wiliams

[meethraa]

Arrested Development fan?
Definitely, but I honestly loved that song back then.

Keep in mind I was 8 or 9 years old.

That's a damn good book analysis, but I think they missed some of the finer points of why Harper Lee used literary devices like pirates and ninja(s).

[beyond]

Queens of the Stone Age-Song for the Dead

[Bouncing Boy]

Be Like the Blue Bird
by Cole Porter

[Rachel Grey]

Instuments of Destruction by N.R.G.

[hoffmandu]

Theme song from Goonies, the Cindi Lauper one...........OH YEAH!

[Dreadstar]

The theme from The Magnificent Seven.

[Royal]

"Moving in Stereo" by The Cars

Some of you will get the joke.

[Solaris]

Pro wrestlers have them. Many baseball players have them. It's theme music - a little song that plays when you come out to the ring or step up to the plate.

So, say you get to have your own entrance music - anytime you walk into the office, or step up to the plate in city league softball, or when you enter a bar, music starts playing announcing "THIS DUDE IS HERE!" What would you choose as your song?

Oh crap, it's so hard to choose just one song. (And the first thing I thought of was like in Major League, when the pitcher Charlie Sheen played walked into the stadium, they always played "Wild Thing.")

Hmmm... My music. Argh.

Well, it's gotta be something fairly impressive, music-wise---because why else would you want theme music other than to impress people? :D

Off the cuff, though I was strongly tempted by Joe Cocker's "You Can Leave Your Hat On,"... my first answer would have to be

How Long is Now by The Smiths. (Some of you may know it as the theme music for the tv show "Charmed")

Although, I gotta admit, if I was a gay male Transvestite, the ONLY song I'd accept would be "Lola". I LOVE that song.

Anyhow, if you asked me this question in a week, I'd probably come up with a different answer than the song I chose... I choose music by my mood, and there's too many to choose from, for me to really stick with just one song.

[Solaris]

Tom Sawyer - Rush

BIIIIG surprise, there.

:D

[BoosterBronze]

Chuck Wagner- "This is the Moment"

[DangerWoman]

Why, The Aquabats song about me, DANGER WOMAN.
At least I do fight the baddies.
And you know what the press is going to be asking in San Diego?!?
WHO IS THIS DANGER WOMAN?

[the invincible ironfran-cis]

Either the theme to the NEWSHOUR with Jim Lehrer, or the theme to Spiderman and his Amzing Friends.

[clayholio]

"Army of Me" by Bjork. Starts off with the explosion just to let everyone know I'm there. Niiiiice.

Alternately, "Never Say Never" by Queens of the Stone Age.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

" Nobody's Real " by Powerman 5000. Has an awesome start and all.

[StoneGold]

"Last Caress" by the Misfits.

[howyadoin]

Isn't that the overused music from "Kill Bill" when O-Ren and her crew are entering the House of Blue Leaves?That's the song. I've rarely heard it outside of that soundtrack and movie, though.
That's some mighty epic entry music, by the way.Europe is epic? Now that's funny.

[DoubleShot]

That would definatly be Left To My Own Devices (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W2XUC27Z0A&search=left%20to%20my%20own%20devices)

But when I'm dating someone it's usually I'm With Stupid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q32JAfaEPbk&search=I%27m%20with%20stupid) No wonder I'm single.

Both are by the Pet Shop Boys.

[StoneGold]

That's the song. I've rarely heard it outside of that soundtrack and movie, though.

Benihanna was using it in commercials. And I think some car insurance company. But it could just be it doesn't have the same exposure on Canadian television.

[howyadoin]

When I die, "Final Countdown's" going to be played throughout my entire funeral, right up until the end when five hair band members are gonna' cover me in dirt.

That is the second best music video ever. The best, of course, being the video for Peter Gabriel's "Sledehammer."

I will humbley disagree. This is the most greatest video ever. According to me and Howard Stern. :)

wrongest post ever.

[Jack Zodiac]

Your mom's the wrongest post ever! :mad:

No, seriously though, I've heard plenty of bands pull off great songs well over ten minutes long, which is a great feat for musicians and song writers. Guns 'N Roses ain't one of 'em. :p

[Solaris]

You know... while I like my first choice... if I was going on MILF status, I'd have to pic this one:

"Crash into me" by the Dave Matthews Band:


You've got your ball,
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
Who's got their claws
In you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock,
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you

Oh, and you come crash into me
And I come into you
And I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy... for you.

Oh, and you come crash into me
Baby, and I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

And if I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
To forgive me
In my haste
When I'm holding you so girl,
Close to me

Oh and you come crash into me, yeah
Baby, and I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

Oh, I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing, but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted,
The way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash into me
Come crash into me, yeah

Crash into me...
Crash into me...

You know, I'm the king of the castle,
You're the dirty rascal, crash into me.
Please crash into me, baby...

Oh, no no no...
Yes, I see the waves
Come and crash into me.
See the waves come and crash into me.
Crash into me.

To each thier own . But G'n'R pulled off 9 to 10 minute songs and kicked ass doing it. Damn shame about November Rain. It originally clocked in at 26 minutes lol.

They made Rose cut it down for the album and he trimmed it ( relunctantly...he got pissed when they did that) to 15 minutes. They made him trim it again and he did it finally to 9 minutes.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Now on pure emotion....I want the Sandman's entrance because people got FUCKING CRAZY!!They'd even sing along and get so into it.

[Solaris]

Don't forget the long version of Boston's "More Than a Feelin'"... or for that matter, Elton John's "Funeral for a Friend (Love Lies Bleeding)."

And yes, I know "Stairway to Heaven" and "Dazed and Confused" are the two great *long* Zepplin songs... but my favorite is still "Kashmir." :D

Don't say "Freebird" tho---I am so sick of Freebird. My favorite Skynard song is "Gimme Three Steps."

And Rush had some long ones... many long ones. :) *waits for Perry to chime in*

Then there's Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," a pretty long song.

I once heard a live version of "Train Kept a Rollin'" done by Guns and Roses, where Steven Tyler did a guest cameo---it was long, and it ROCKED. I heard it on the radio tho', and haven't found it in recording (it was a concert broadcast, from Paris, I think).

[Solaris]

Double post, sorry about that.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Hmmm you may wanna check the usual downloading places for that bootleg. I heard Axl cover " Jumpin Jack Flash " once in an acoustic way. :)

[howyadoin]

Don't say "Freebird" tho---I am so sick of Freebird.Heathen!

[warspite1805]

Nightwish's "Slaying the Dreamer"

. Slaying The Dreamer

I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed
You bathed in my wine
Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds

Put a stake through my heart!
And drag me into sunlight
So awake for your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer

Swansong for the Wish of Night
God it hurts, give a name to the pain
Our primrose path to hell is growing weed

Blame me, it's me
Coward, a good-for-nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid, living a dream
Romantic only on paper

Tell me why you took all that was mine!
Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray!

Wake up, mow the weed
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life if you have the heart to die

You bastards tainted my tool
Raped my words, played me a fool
Gather your precious glitter and leave me be
The Great Ones are all dead
And I'm tired, too

I truly hate you all!

[Evo Schandor]

Theme to "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"

Actually, three friends and myself play golf a couple of times a year and a requirement is that you pull up to the clubhouse and exit your car with your own hand-picked theme music playing loud enough that people on the first tee can hear it. Needless to say, they're glad we don't play that much.
