Walk-in music
If you were a fighter, what would be the tune you would have on the PA as the fans cheer you to the ring?

I'd probably have a throat-lumping Irish ballad where loads of people die and women cry and rend hair and such while children starve. My opponent would think I was so badass, I had survived the famine and shit himself.

I'd go in the other direction
and flounce to the ring in a pink sequined Prada gown to the strains of "In The Navy" by the Village People. Clamber into the ring and blow my opponent a kiss. He'll either run or refuse to come out of his corner all night

Good use of the psychological advantage there, dude!
The fight game is overtly homophobic. I don't know if you've ever seen Joe Rogans stand-up but he is relentless.

Prada would never do anything with pink sequins.
Fashion faux pas there me laddy.

Emerald by Thin Lizzy?

That would be good too.

I would mud wrestle with several other women to this tune.

"Pays good money"
and "rubbing of thighs" comes to mind. Indeed yes.

My brother had his first Pro MMA fight last year
and he had the intro to 'Money for Nothing' on his walk out.
I wanted him to have this though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qae_TUTeGo.
He declined.
(oneinthepink is at your cervix m'lady, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:51, Reply)

does he plan to do it again?

which event was it?

gaz me his name if you like - I'd bet my brother knows him

Don't Stop Movin' by S Club 7

fucking love that song
it's a masterpiece
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:03, Reply)

That and Reach are definite pop classics.

Every ballroom dancing competition I go to
They play "Reach" in competition, makes a good Jive. The crowd goes fucking wild at that point. As if the events could be any gayer

My mind is genuinely boggling at the advanced-level gaiety.

Don't Stop Movin' = yes, a good pop record for sure
Reach = fucking 'reach-around' more like.

Ghastly.

But surely you'd want your opponent to stop moving, wouldn't you?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:04, Reply)

I'd want to hit him so hard
that he had a spasming fit and never stopped twitching.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:06, Reply)

I'd have Wall of Fire by Monster Magnet
because it starts off saying "Well I'm back, I've got a cock made out of platinum"
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:02, Reply)

How about (relates to earlier post about sequins) Bummer?
Opening lyric, "You're looking for the one who fucked your Mom... it's not me"
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:07, Reply)

that is a stonking tune
partly because the moaning at the beginning sounds like zombies

"if you want to spank your demons and make them pay, then baby I'm your man of the hour"

I fucking love Monster Magnet
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:10, Reply)

They have very much the right idea.

Kyuss

Sorry

I have plenty of time for both
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:13, Reply)

as do I
but monster magnet, particularly the old stuff, has more of the psychadelic quality, which scores extra points.

plus, Dave Wyndorff has a suit with lightbulbs on
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:15, Reply)

Wyndorf is a legend
Can we categorise Monster Magnet as Kings of Fucked-Off-Your-Tits Rock? You get the impression that Kyuss were less experimental in their drugs choices than the Magnet
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:17, Reply)

Monster Magnet basically = mescaline I think
Monty: they have a song called Tractor which you would like I'm sure.

My brother loves Ministry
I file them in the 'meh' drawer, I have to confess.

I just like that particularly line

I give Ministry more points for lyrics than music to be honest

Kung Fu by 187 Lockdown

- big, bassy, up-tempo sound
- speed garage FTW

what about
'Shaolin Buddha Finger' by Depth Charge?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:15, Reply)

don't know it
*adds to list*
( djtrialprice, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:18, Reply)

The whole tune is composed of kung fu film samples
from the beat up. It's genius - actually most of the Depth Charge stuff is excellent. Quirky, weird dance music that pre-empted so-called trip hop and was much, much better.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:29, Reply)

sounds very cool
will be sure to have a listen

'Dead by Dawn' is made up of Zombie Flick samples

I'm listening to Dead by Dawn
it's really cool.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:56, Reply)

I once DJed at a party when J Saul Kane of Depth Charge played before my mate
and he left an impossibly rare funk 45 still playing on the decks when he left.

Nice souvenir.
