From: Mbo Last year, while watching the World Series, the announcers said that each player got to choose a piece of music to be played when he came up to bat. So I got to thinking...what song or music would Mudcatters use as their "entrance music" or adopt as their "personal theme song"? Would it be an inspiring or intimidating music, or a song that describes you or how you feel, or just something you like? --Mbo |

John mentioned "Va Pensiero"(The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) from Guiseppe Verdi's opera "Nabucco." When Verdi died, an estimated 20,000 people attended his funeral. As this humongous funeral train began the walk to the cemetery, I single voice started to sing "Va Pensiero." Soon all 20,000 took up the chorus as Verdi was marched to his final resting place.

From: bseed(charleskratz) For me it would be the harmonica intro to Doc Watson's "Lost John" which I think Merle played on "Doc Watson on Stage"--it's crossharp, and most of Doc's harp playing seems to be straight harp. The chords to "Alices Restaurant" would also work for me, since they're also the chords to "Take Your Finger Off It," which I used for a teachers' strike song, and which makes a great jamming tune. Or maybe if the audience would stand up and sing "La-ga-dee-yum, la-ga-dee-yum, la-ga-dee-yum, la-ga-dee-yum; Shoobie-doobie, oogle-ya-doobie, shoobie-dra-hah-hah..." and I could break into "Have some Madeira, M'dear." --seed |

24 Aug 00 - 12:35 AM (#283770) Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Little Hawk "Starwalker" by Buffy Sainte-Marie. That one says it all. On occasions when I'm feeling lovelorn, maybe Bob Dylan's song "Just Like A Woman". I've probably played it more times than any other song, and I just love it. And me too for the Star Trek Next Generation theme. Good thread, Mbo! |

24 Aug 00 - 12:46 AM (#283781) Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Actually, the theme from Star Trek: First Contact is ever better! I think now my entrance music would be either "Cigarettes & Alcohol" by Oasis, or the orchestral arrangement of their song "Supersonic." |

24 Aug 00 - 12:58 AM (#283789) Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: CarolC Maybe the theme song from Red Dwarf

24 Aug 00 - 01:14 AM (#283805) Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Callie The opening track of the "Naked Lunch" soundtrack that has strings and a freaky saxophone solo (I think it was Ornette Coleman). |

24 Aug 00 - 04:50 AM (#283863) Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock CarolC, the line you're missing from Red Dwarf is "goldfish shoals, nibbling at my toes"! I would like "Don't forget your shovel..." for those good ol' times when I was working outdoors in a pile of freezing muck (was it really only 8 months ago...? Ah, those halcyon days!). Also, the Mission Imposible II theme tune by Limp Bizkit. Me and my friends drove overnight from Chicago to Memphis in May. That was always on the radio and we adopted it as our roadtrip theme tune. For the last two hours of our journey we drove through a lightning storm that lit the sky from horizon to flat horizon. It was amazing - cloud to ground forked lightning and huge hail. Then someone put on an Elvis tape and the whole thing turned into a surreal David-Lynch-type-moment. Spectacular. I am now convinced that nobody does weather better than the Americans. By the way, with the fear of starting thread creep, wouldn't it be so much more interesting if real life had a soundtrack, and a 24-piece orchestra could pop up behind you and play appropriate music at significant moments? Think of the relevant music for those special times! |

24 Aug 00 - 08:38 AM (#283917) Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Whistle Stop Elvis already took "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (segue into "C.C. Rider"), and the President has dibs on "Hail To The Chief". I'd have to consider what sort of entrance I was making, but I'm leaning towards "Vaseline Machine Gun" by Leo Kottke. |

24 Aug 00 - 09:43 AM (#283951) Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo That sounds really cool, Fibula! I remember listening to "Swallowed" by Bush while watching a big electrical storm. Awesome combo! Blur is also darn knarley to listen to during storms. |

25 Aug 00 - 07:24 PM (#285342) Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: hesperis I forgot to say "Brown-eyed girl" for those moments when I'm happily strolling downtown during our 50s & 60s Tribute Festival weekend. That is so definitely my song! (Even though my eyes are really hazel.) Mbo - I never heard of that song "I want to be a recon ranger" so no, I haven't noticed. Sounds like you have some interesting music across the pond... Should have asked my parents to pick me up some stuff when they went over last year. |

Played they way they did it for the movie, it makes you want to get up and do something, and if you play it on a flute, real slow, it makes a really pretty lullaby (go figure). -Branwen- |

26 Aug 00 - 03:59 PM (#285719) Subject: Lyr Add: COME FROM THE HEART (Susanna Clark) From: GUEST,Roger in Baltimore Since I gotta play my own entrance music, I have two simple songs that I might play.
First is called "Come From the Heart" by Susanna Clark (Guy's wife) and some other male songwriter. Guy swears Susanna and this man went off to the parlor and wrote it in one-half an hour.
When I was a young man, my Daddy told me,
CHO:
You've got to sing, like you don't need the money,
Here is the one thing I keep forgettin',
If it isn't that one, it's a song by that old Folk Music songwriting team, Leiber and Stroller, "When She Wants Good Lovin'".
Well, she goes down to the baker when she wants some cake,
CHO:
Well she goes down to Big Daddy when she wants some mink,
Well, she goes down to the river just to take a little dip, The first is a message to myself and the audience. The second is just pure, good-natured braggadocio. Since I'm a big guy, it encourages people to seem me as a sex object, sort of a different frame of reference. Keeps them off-guard and a little more open-minded. Roger in Baltimore
