Subject: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 06 Jan 00 - 02:29 PM 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 |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: MMario Date: 06 Jan 00 - 04:52 PM *sigh* I had almost managed to forget this. for years, had a classmate who would do "march of the elephants" whenever I entered a room he was in. EVERY freekin' time. I'm so traumatized by the memory I will just have to go over to the living room and seek feminine companionship to sooth my furrowed brow. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Caitrin Date: 06 Jan 00 - 05:13 PM I'd have to go with The Allman Brothers' "Jessica" or Donna the Buffalo's "Funky Side", just because they put me in a good mood. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Benjamín Date: 06 Jan 00 - 05:16 PM I'm going to have to go with Michael Jacksons "Human Nature." Great tune! If not that, maybe Sonny Terry's "Shouting the Blues." I'd have to have the story that he tells before he plays the song as well though. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: sophocleese Date: 06 Jan 00 - 05:57 PM Well, sadly, I realize I can no longer choose "Too Drunk to Fu*k" by the Dead Kennedys anymore. I'll have to go and think of something. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: reeebop Date: 06 Jan 00 - 06:43 PM i can jst picture the opening chords to alice's restaurant when i walk into a room (just goin' 'round on the guitar). i mean sometimes i just find myself swaying a long without realizing it or walking with a strange swagger. and i've had to stop myself from singing slong to the chorus when i'm in a position of terror (like finding myself surrounded by 15-year old boys who listen to marolyn manson....but that's another story...) i never thought about it too much until now though...hmmm...it's like i could tell my own life stories over those chords |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: TerriM Date: 06 Jan 00 - 06:49 PM I'd like the march of the gladiators, not least because I have a really good parody of it in my possession somewhere. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Clinton Hammond2 Date: 06 Jan 00 - 07:06 PM Ummm... As I've said so often in othere threads of this type.. it depends on what mood I'm in... but I'll see if I can pick a few of the biggies... Broadsword by Jethro Tull... Or When Jeasus Came To Play by same... Industrial Lullaby by Stephen Fearing or Blade Runner Blues or Any Colour But Blue by Don Ross for thoes days when I'm in black, under a cloud... Or have been reading too much William Gibson... Don Ross's First Ride or Afraid To Dance are a couple of tuens I like to have on when I drive into a new town for the first time... Leonard Cohen's I'm Your Man is high on the list there somewhere too... I'd also pick the theme from Indiana Jones.. Goes with the hat... So just a start I guess... ;-) |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 06 Jan 00 - 09:07 PM One of the reasons I asked about this is because I've had several "entrance music" and "theme songs" over the years. Like: Tune in D Major by Jeremiah Clarke The Light Cavalry Overture by Von Suppe The Rakoczy March by Berlioz (when I was in Okinawa) Under Pressure by Queen & David Bowie (during my first year at college) Let Down by Radiohead (during a tough summer semester) I Hope, I Think, I Know (during a tough spring semester) 10538 Overture by Electric Light Orchestra (my entrance music now--that riff, chose chugging cellos, that french horn...it's me, and I'm gonna getcha... --Mbo |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Little Neophyte Date: 06 Jan 00 - 09:22 PM I Did It My Way......by Frank Sinatra There I am at Carnegie Hall for my solo banjo performance of early music from the Baroque period. Dressed in an evening gown accompanied by my dog on the slide whistle. I can picture my family in the audience shaking their heads thinking "where did we go wrong" BB |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Susan A-R Date: 06 Jan 00 - 10:58 PM Last summer I was at music camp, and had been playing inside with some other musicians. When they folded up the stands and music, I took my fiddle out int the gorgeous June night and strolled over to the bon fire playing Wind that Shakes the Barley. I didn't realize it as I was doing it, but no one at the fire could see me. They just heard the fiddle tune coming over the field to them. I like it. That's me. Susan |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: John in Brisbane Date: 07 Jan 00 - 01:08 AM Here are my favourite triumphal tunes complete with MIDI references:
O Fortuna from Carmina Burana (Carl Orff)
Conquest of Paradise (Vangelis from 1492)
Triumphal March From Aida (Verdi) (Includes SATB Vocal Parts)
Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves (verdi) The action starts after the first 16 bars, the vocal parts should be much louder.
And from Bron's suggestion in case you haven't heard it (I hadn't) here's Danse Macabre by St Saens
Regards, John

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 00 - 03:51 AM I guess mine would be the Queen of the Night aria from Magic Flute. Or Dance of the Knights, from Prokovief's Romeo & Juliet...... I like it loud and solid...... Others might disagree, and suggest something like 'Flushed from the bathroom of my heart' or 'Dropkick me Jesus, through the goalposts of life'.... I've got a lot of very strange "friends"......

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Roger the skiffler Date: 07 Jan 00 - 05:42 AM I'd like Muddy Waters playing the introductory riff to "Hootchie Cootchie Man", but remembering my lack of footballing skills when I used to play, Roy Eldridge playing "I can't get started" or the Animals' "I gotta get outta this place" would be more appropriate!

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Micca Date: 07 Jan 00 - 08:16 AM John in Brisbane, I like the Fish song from "Carmina Burana" Oh For Tuna.....**BG** too LtS means the Queen of the Night aria from Act 1 of the "Magic Flute" "O zittre nacht" not the Act 2 Aria "Der Holle Rache kocht in meinem herzen" (someone has to be town pedant)*BG* TerriM " I'm glad ,glad, very, very,glad I'm glad I'm a gladiator Ancient Rome thats my home fried fish shop by the 'ippodrome I'm glad, glad,very,very glad, from my helmet to my toes etc No one has mentioned Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Steve Latimer Date: 07 Jan 00 - 09:32 AM I guess mine would be the theme music from the chase scenes in the Keystone Kops. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Pontiac Joe Date: 07 Jan 00 - 09:43 AM A real raw electrified version of "Dust my Broom" or "Loaded and Layed" from David Bromberg. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Baron Von Date: 07 Jan 00 - 09:59 AM I'd guess that Wagner's "Entry Of The Gods Into Valhalla" is a proven winner in this category... Or at least the last full minute of it is. The rest might make for a slightly tedious entrance.... |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Steve Latimer Date: 07 Jan 00 - 10:09 AM Of course there are times when I'm feeling ultra cool making my entrance, the Pink Panther theme seems appropriate for these times. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Danlbear Date: 07 Jan 00 - 10:14 AM It depends on where I perform, and how I was introduced. I have been known to begin with a guitar solo, or a story, then a song, but I never do the same thing twice. Dan |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 00 - 11:23 AM Actually, pedant, I do mean 'Der Holle Rache', exuant mit donder und blitzen...... and we ain't talkin' reindeer here either!! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: gervase Date: 07 Jan 00 - 11:45 AM The Magic Flute for me too - but the bass aria 'In diese Hallen' (sp?) or the openkng of Elgar's second symphony (used to great effect in the dreadful film Greystoke) |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Wincing Devil Date: 07 Jan 00 - 01:32 PM It would be a big fanfare like: Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man Saint's Saen's Organ Concerto or Darth Vader's Theme (dum dum dum dum de dum, dum de dum) |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: jeffp Date: 07 Jan 00 - 01:51 PM For me, I think it would be the Promenade from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. |

Subject: Lyr Add: JULY, YOU'RE A WOMAN (John Stewart) From: Mudjack Date: 07 Jan 00 - 02:09 PM I have adopted " July, Your'e a Woman" as my theme song and usually open with it. It is penned by John Stewart, he just never realized he wrote it for me. JULY, YOU'RE A WOMAN (John Stewart) I can't hold it on the road When your're sittin' right beside me And I'm drunk out of my mind Merely from the fact that you are here I have not been known as the saint of San Juaquin And I'd just as soon right now pull on over To the side of the road and show you what I mean
Ref
Yeah! And I can't hold my eyes

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 07 Jan 00 - 03:52 PM WOW folks, you got some grear entrance music going on! Speaking entrance music, here a bit of "exit music." 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. What a way to go! MAN!! What I would do to have hear the twenty thousand vioces singing Verdi home..."Go thought on golden wings..." --Mbo |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Peter T. Date: 07 Jan 00 - 05:25 PM (1) The opening to Act III of La Boheme, where the snow quietly begins to come down, and the doors of Paris open to the early market provisioners. (2) Bugs Bunny's ukelele solo at the beginning of the cartoon where he drives the conductor mad. (3) The barn raising music in the film "Witness". Exit music: (1) The last 25 seconds of Strauss' Electra. yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 00 - 06:39 PM Ah, memory jolted by Wincing..... Actually did have Saint Saens as an entrance piece, when I married, I walked in to the organ concerto. So glad I didn't get married 8 years later when it was the music running throughout the length of 'Babe the sheep-pig'...... I hate the damn tune, but SO chose the going in so I got to choose the going out - Some Tocatta thing, but not by Bach, see, can't even remember it was so good!! Anything rather than the deadly duo of Lohengrin and Mendelssohn.... LTS |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: catspaw49 Date: 07 Jan 00 - 06:49 PM I like your choices Peter. Well, I would of course have to go with "Catspaw's Rag" with my thanks to Rick. Additionally, I think the entrance music used by Red Skelton for his "Freddie the Freeloader" character would work. Personally, I'd also like Vivaldi's Concerto in F, first movement, for bassoon. Spaw -- (If I have gas, I could exit with 1812) |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 07 Jan 00 - 06:58 PM Liz--was that the Toccata by Charles-Marie Widor? That would be a good one... --Mbo |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mikal Date: 07 Jan 00 - 07:27 PM OOOOH! This is a fun one... I would like to hear "John Barleycorn must die" when I walk into a room. However, My friends feel "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull is far more appropriate... A second bet would be "Corn rigs and Barley rigs" which as far as I can tell was only used in the movie "The Wicker Man." Someday I have to learn that song!

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Áine Date: 07 Jan 00 - 07:39 PM Well, I'd have to say it would have to be 'An Cailin Rua' (The Red-haired Girl) -- How could I miss with that song!
Translation of first verse: Isn't it hard for me to praise my red-haired girl -- Áine |
