Commenter Draft: Entrance Music
07.25.08There have been times when I’ve wanted my own entrance music. Whether I was walking into a party, running to jump in a swimming pool, or barrelling into a teenager’s vagina, I would have appreciated a signature tune being played over the loudspeaker beforehand, just to let everyone know I was en route.
Your mission today is to choose your own entrance music. This music will be played everywhere you go. It will be your Hail To The Chief, if you will. Every good hero should have some theme music. So sayeth Keenan Ivory Wayans.
My music will be Redman’s Time For Some Action, as heard in this highlight reel:
I don’t care whether it’s 1990-muthafuckin-2 or not.
You know the rules. Get to it.

“Best of You” – Foo Fighters

Of course, when the time comes for the wedding, I’m thinking me and the wife and the bridal party are introduced to the theme song from “Animal House.”
You Think I Ain’t Worth Nothin, But I Feel Like A Millionaire – QotSA
Re: a hero’s theme music:
Actually, Bernie Casey said that.
The first 32 or so bars of “Romantic Rights” by Death From Above 1979.

ANYTHING by enter shikari, but probably either sorry, you’re not a winner or ok, time for plan b
@ Lez
Not to mention Stockholm Syndrome, Apocalypse Please & Plug In Baby. Thought we’d have a deal. Probably the best live band on the planet right now.
“June 26, 1998″ by Deep Puddle Dynamics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klmexsRqw0w
Holy shit. This post is two days old, and no one has picked the Brass Bonanza? Are you all a bunch of terrorists?
Placebo – “Infra Red”
QOTSA – “3′s & 7′s”
promentory – last of the mohicans ftw
@ Matty L-Train
Quality. I get New Born without a fight.
Aww…just found your site, and sad I’m late to this party. Even though almost all of the good ones are gone, I still want to play, so I’ll make some choices:
1. “Satellite”- Dave Matthews Ba-
just kidding!
1.
“Reload”- Rob Zombie.
2.
“Busy Child”- The Crystal Method.
3.
“Higher Brain Pattern”- WWE- Triple H’s old theme (actual entrance music!).
4.
“Frantic”- Metallica.
5.
“Into The Void”- Nine Inch Nails.
Yes, my taste in music is lame, mainstream and white. :(
18-1: Never Forget!!!
**taken (insert obscure band + song)!!!
I can’t believe noone has taken !!!
Two days late and here comes the anger.
Push It – Static-X
Let’s Go (insane) – Ministry
Head Like a Hole – Nine Inch Nails
Let it be Me – Social Distortion
Right Now – Korn
Super Beast – Rob Zombie
//angry old white guy
wow, i can’t believe i’m still able to pick a gunshot to the head of trepidation by trivium
living on a prayer for me and the grand state of New Jersey
@Lez:
As long as I get Knights of Cydonia (which I already claimed way up there!), Map of the Problematique (kinda weak title, but god that song kicks ass) and Butterflies and Hurricanes (for the piano breakdown alone), you got yourself a deal. You can have the whole Prodigy catalog, even Smack My Bitch Up.
Hysteria – Muse
Mindfields – Prodigy
Actually, scratch that.
I take every currently undrafted song by the aforementioned bands.
Cumpidgeon already took the first song that came to my mind, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s version of Voodoo Chile.
‘Standin’ next to a mountain
Chopin’ down with the edge of my hand
Fuck yes!
Best Girl wants Alejandro Escovedo’s ‘Better When She Walks Away’
What Best Girl wants, Best Girl Gets.
Shoot to Thrill by ACDC. Fourth on my board after Calm Like a Bomb, Here I Come and Hair of the Dog.
“Run The Numbers” by El-P featuring Aesop Rock.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=SXR-1clhulQ
“Raise Some Hell” by Wesley Willis
The Sky is Falling by QOTSA. Once the heavy guitar slams in, everyone knows you’re ready to handle some shit. Perfect entrance music for a baseball closer, yet nobody uses it. What a waste
/wonders if anyone will even see this
For the 3 people that’ll actually read this:
When I’m feeling a little conceited (which is most of the time): “Superman Lover” – Johnny “Guitar” Watson
When I need to get hype (since “Triumph” was taken): “Hungry” by Common (Sense)
Com’ at his grittiest – “At real nigga angles I’ve stood with ways that’s geometric/ Don’t need to rob banks wit dyke broads to Set It..” Fuck wit me.
The theme song to Benny Hill, victory, it is hilarious
Big ups to Slash for “Just Because.”
My last two picks:
1) Tyler by Toadies. (DO YA WANNA DIE?)
2) Duel by Swervedriver…….because I can’t have a music draft without a little shoegazing.
no thugs in our house, from the album english settlement, by xtc:
refrain: and all the while, graham slept on, dreaming of a world where he could do just what he wanted to…
a-fucking-men.
Obscure and still not taken: Bring Ya’ll back by Pete Rock and Little Brother
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6HAhwZ-ZZg
What up. Hello. Smooth type fellow. Go hard in the paint like a young Carmelo.
Stormy High — Black Mountain.
I Believe In A Thing Called Love — The Darkness.
Immigrant Song — Led Zeppelin.
And under the “It has air raid sirens, so it rocks!” clause:
Two Tribes — Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
Motor City Maniacs — Sloan.
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)- Metallica
*ahem*
“You Don’t Know”-Jay-Z (super-hype rap shit)
“Stop”-Jane’s Addiction (super-hype rock shit)
“10 Crack Commandments”-B.I.G. (nobody took this yet?)
“Hail Mary”-Tupac (some somber shit signifying your inevitable demise)
“Tears”-Wu-Tang Clan (For the beat, not the lyrics)
“A Milli”- Little Wayne (Probably wouldn’t pick it after a few more weeks, not a big Wayne fan)
“Domestic Violence Pt. 2″-RZA (You ain’t shit)
That’s all folks.
There once was a man named Doheeny
Who spilled some gin on his weenie
not being uncouth
he added vermouth
and slipped his girl a Martini
“America, Fuck Yeah!” off the Team America soundtrack. Guess I’d have to constantly wear the ol’ red, white and blue though.
If I was having a good year… Damn it feels good to be a gangsta, by the legendary geto boys
10 A.M. Automatic by the Black Keys. Steal of the goddamn century.
GZA – Swordsman
Statik Selektah ft. Big Shug – Punch Out
A Song for The Dead- Queens Of The Stone Age
Savage
“Battle Hymn” – Manowar
Follow the Leader was taken… damn.
“St.Anger” with the prison guard warning part in it. That would be the balls too.
Deftones – My Own Summer (Shove It)
Soundgarden – Room a Thousand Years Wide
Velvet Revolver – She Builds Quick Machines
Aaaaaaaaand, since eveyrone else seems to be done:
6. “This Corrosion” by Sisters of Mercy
7. “Panzerlied” from the movie “Battle of the Bulge”
8. the main song from “Marriage of Figaro”
9. the goth/techno version of “Carol of the Bells”
and to round out the top ten:
10. “Blood Upon The Risers” as sung by the 82d Airborne
Coheed and Cambria’s Gravemakers and Gunslingers – first because it has “gunslinger” in the title, which sounds like cumslinger and means I could make some horrible attempt to pretend I was the Sex Cannon, and second because it sounds totally bitching. Listen to the opening! That is an opening that screams “GET THE FUCK DOWN OR GET YOUR FACES STOMPED”! That would be worthy of Rexy himself if by some glorious chance the cumslinger and I have similar musical tastes
Can’t believe this one hasn’t been picked up
Theme from Superman — THE London Symphony Orchestra
“It’s Raining Men”
Since I’m late to the draft because of work:
1. “Hardcore Hooligan” by The Business – includes a simple, easy-to-remember chant for the home fans
2. “Hate, Kill, Destroy” by The Business
3. “Last Caress” by The Misfits
4. “Get a Rope” by Cock Sparrer
5. “Mr. Bad Example” by Warren Zevon
Damnit, I spend the day doing work and don’t get a decent pick in.
I don’t see “Paint it Black,” so I’ll go there. Either that or “O Death” by Ralph Stanley. I did actually come back from a leave of absence at an old job by walking through the hall to my office singing “The Bitch is Back.” That was fun, too.
I also contemplated Holst’s The Planets (but the Saturn movement, not Mars). Carmina Burana has been soooo overdone (thanks, Gatorade)…but the libretto to the second movement made really snarky sympathy cards for my local Pats fans buddies after the Super Bowl. Some of them still aren’t speaking to me. Heh.
Sparks Are Gonna Fly by The Catherine Wheel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTKrG7uBw4Q
@bFizzle: Roethlisberger, is that you?
Gratitude – Beasties.
Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult
And my final “running out of work any minute” pick is:
Morris Day and the Time – Jungle Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFZ8fiEPLCg
For the win, bitches. How did nobody else pick this?
Hip Hop Lives by KRS-One
http://youtube.com/watch?v=iWa4UpajKTc
Calm Like A Bomb – Rage Against The Machine
Awesome draft. I’m late to the party so I’ll throw out a few that haven’t been mentioned:
Constructive Summer by the Hold Steady
Stay Positive by the Hold Steady (the crowd chanting the “whoa-oa-oa! whoa-oa-oa!” chorus would be fucking badass)
Fucking in the Bushes by Oasis
Stone Cold Crazy by Queen or Metallica
My Michelle by Guns N Roses (slow guitar lead-in for about 30 seconds then the power chords come in and fucking rock out)
Genesis by Justice
Because I’m a tiny white woman and it would be funny, “Kung Fu Fighting” by Carl Douglas
Eh, don’t feel like waiting ten picks for my next one (besides, it’s been 10 minutes and we’re in the 42nd round anyhow). My second pick is “Turn the Page” by The Streets.
Sweet – glad to see my choice is still on the board. I’ll take “Two Cool Guys” as sung by Isaac Hayes, which was the music used in the opening montage of “Beavis and Butt-head Do America.”
Here’s a link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=W5D6tRuAqXk&feature=related
“Play that Funky Music (White Boy)” by Wild Cherry. Even though I’m neither male or white. I just like the song.
I have the same entrance music as Craig Kilborn (The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn) use to have. Ewww.
“Brown Sugar” Rolling Stones; I’ve always wanted to make a big entrance to that song.
Cowboys from Hell – Pantera
To somewhat balance out my hip-hop heavy catalogue of entrance music. But since no one took it, I’ll also take
This is Why I’m Hot – M.I.M.S. The lyrics say it all…
This is why I’m Hot [2x]
This is why [2x] Uh
This is why I’m Hot (Uh)
This is why I’m Hot [2x] Whoo
This is why [2x]
This is why I’m Hot
I’m hot cuz I’m fly (fly)
You aint cuz you’re not (Mims)
This is why [2x]
This is why I’m hot [2x]
Pure fuckin’ genius…
Float on by Modest Mouse
The opening guitar rift makes me want to strut
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_qdV7QF0oc
Steal of the draft “Glass’ Theme” Smashing Pumpkins
Eminem “Lose Yourself”
Just the kind of song that inspires me to actually do something with my life….then when it ends I go back to stuffing my face with Hot Pocket Calzones.
