Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Jan 00 - 09:42 PM I'm a friendly, welcoming sort of guy. As some have you may have noticed on my web page, my theme song is You're Always Welcome at Our House. I've even got a red sign next to my doorbell that says that. Anybody want to drop in for a visit? -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Rick Fielding Date: 07 Jan 00 - 10:02 PM Sure Joe. I was there a few weeks ago and didn't see the OTHER sign. The one that reads "PITBULL OBEDIENCE SCHOOL". Well before I'd gotten 3 feet up your walk I was pounced on by a canine that would make the hound those Baskervilles owned look tiny. As I was trying to stop the blood flow and looking around for my arm, I noticed some weirdo with a white beard aiming an AK 47 pellet gun at me. Of course I threw up my arms and screamed "Say it ain't so Joe", when this character hollers "learn your HTML and start addin' songs to the DT"! Ya know, despite what Duckboots said a few posts ago, I think my entrance AND exit music would have to be Puccini's "Un Bel Dia" from "Butterfly". Still my fav bit of music...the rest of the opera and especially the story leaves me cold Rick |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Escamillo Date: 07 Jan 00 - 10:27 PM My entrance music has always been MARCH OF THE TOREADOR from Bizet's CARMEN, of course. Never worried about an exit music because when I leave the stage there's nobody else to listen, so there's no need for it. Un abrazo - Andrés |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: emily rain Date: 08 Jan 00 - 01:04 PM i have a friend who actually did this for a few days on a lark. he went around with a handheld tape recorder tied to his belt and pressed play as he walked into the room. various things would emerge... most notable was the porn-style wah-wah guitar riff... when i enter any room i'm usually in the process of singing sumthin... a musical soundtrack would just confuse the issue. but my exit music is the middle part of chopin's fantasie impromptu. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Áine Date: 08 Jan 00 - 03:10 PM Dear Em, I know how badly I must be showing my ignorance -- but, what the heck is 'the porn-style wah-wah guitar riff'? What song is it from? Am I completely out of the loop? -- Áine |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 08 Jan 00 - 03:40 PM 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 |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: emily rain Date: 09 Jan 00 - 12:35 PM Á ine -- it's not specific, but archetypal. imagine you're watching a 1970's porno flick. in the background you can hear an electric guitar playing up-tempo "um-chik um-chik -- chik-a chika-a, um-chik um-chik..." variations in the sound are created with a little apparatus called a wah-wah pedal. the result is basically the movie version of the "thumpa thumpa thumpa" you'd hear in a strip club. she said, as if she had ever seen a 70's porno flick or visited a strip club. just a part of the american consciousness, as far as i can tell. love, em |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Max Date: 23 Aug 00 - 05:42 PM "He Is the Man" by Leadbelly perhaps, maybe "Ocean Size" by Jane's Addiction, "Express Yourself" by Idrus Mohamed, "Buck Dance" by Gary Davis, "Preaching Blues" by Robert Johnson, "Good Times Bad Times" (for kendall) by Led Zeppelin, "If 6 Were 9" or "Spanish Castle Magic" by Jimi Hendrix, "Blues Music" by G Love, or just about anything from Taj Mahal. Or maybe this song. Oh, decisions decisions. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: P05139 Date: 23 Aug 00 - 08:40 PM I think my entrance music would be one of these : "Tarantino's New Star" by North And South, "Last One Standing" by Girl Thing, "Ready To Go" by Republica, "Be The First To Believe" by A1, "We Will Rock You" by Five and Queen, "Super Trouper" by Abba, "Come And Get Me" by Cleopatra, "Back To You" by Steps, or "Cross My Heart" by S Club 7. My exit music would be one of these (cue another list!): "Goodbye" by The Spice Girls "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, "When I Said Goodbye" by Steps, "Breathing" by North And South, "Will You Wait For Me" by Kavana, "When I Remember When" by Five, "The Winner Takes It All" by Abba, "The Long And Winding Road" by The Beatles, "Guess I Was A Fool" by Another Level, "All In Love Is Fair" by S Club 7, or "Afterlife" by Ultra. There you go! |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 23 Aug 00 - 08:44 PM Ok, I know the Queen & Beatles ones! |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: P05139 Date: 23 Aug 00 - 09:00 PM Oh, come on, Mbo, you must have heard of Abba! |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 23 Aug 00 - 09:19 PM I do! But I don't know any of those! I know the classics! Fernando, Waterloo, etc. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: hesperis Date: 24 Aug 00 - 12:12 AM When I'm busking downtown, "King of the Road" because I am not a man, and I'm not a 'woman of means' either. (This is played on Trumpet, I don't sing it.) Ages 11-12: Star Trek Next Generation theme Before that: The entire Piano Concerto in Eb Major (Emperor) by Beethoven. (It took me a long time to enter the room, obviously... And I was rather Imperious. ::dry chuckle::) Now: I would choose 'Post of Honour' which is the second piece in a trilogy I wrote/am still trying to complete (Grr!) for brass quintet. Or maybe 'The Green Gauntlet' which is the third piece. (The first piece, 'Long Summer's Day', is too slow for walking.) It would depend on the situation. Chagall |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: P05139 Date: 24 Aug 00 - 12:26 AM Mbo, try getting your hands on either the "Super Trouper" album or a copy of "ABBA Gold". They're both on there! That's your Mudcat project for this month. Send me a PM when you've heard them and tell me what you think. |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 24 Aug 00 - 12:33 AM Hesp, did you ever notice the striking similarity of the Emperor Concerto to "I Want To Be A Recon Ranger"? Or The final Movement of Grieg's Piano Concerto that sounds a bit like "Day-O!"? |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Little Hawk Date: 24 Aug 00 - 12:35 AM "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! |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 24 Aug 00 - 12:46 AM 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." |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: CarolC Date: 24 Aug 00 - 12:58 AM Maybe the theme song from Red Dwarf
It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 24 Aug 00 - 01:02 AM Dang, I forgot "I'm Dearg Doom" by the Horslips! I'm Dearg Doom! |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: GUEST, Banjo Johnny Date: 24 Aug 00 - 01:04 AM What? Nobody picked "Send in the Clowns" ? What? Nobody picked "Too Fat Polka" ? What? Nobody picked "Stars & Stripes Forever" ? What? Nobody picked "Tequila" ? What? Nobody picked "There She Is, Miss America" ? Okay, I've got dibs on these. == Johnny |

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

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 24 Aug 00 - 04:50 AM 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! |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 24 Aug 00 - 04:57 AM ...well, if we're having second goes at this... "Why was he born so beautiful" would be most appropriate RtS |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Whistle Stop Date: 24 Aug 00 - 08:38 AM 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. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Mbo Date: 24 Aug 00 - 09:43 AM 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. |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Jim Krause Date: 25 Aug 00 - 03:47 PM This just came to me: West Coast Blues by Blind Blake. "First thing we do, swing your partner." |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 25 Aug 00 - 05:41 PM Jenellen: What bolero? That's like saying "the waltz" or "the foxtrot". Dave Oesterreich |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Drumshanty Date: 25 Aug 00 - 06:10 PM Depending on my mood - the opening of "Sorrow" by Pink Floyd or "Reconciliation" by Wolfstone. Or maybe the opening of "Some Might Say". And I'm going out to "Champagne Supernova" - it's in my will! Drumshanty |
|
Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: Amergin Date: 25 Aug 00 - 06:31 PM Jen might mean the one that Torville and Dean (?) danced to on the ice during the olympics all those years ago.... I'd like Beat On The Brat by the Ramones or perhaps Dead Puppies..... Amergin |

Subject: RE: So What's YOUR Entrance Music? From: hesperis Date: 25 Aug 00 - 07:24 PM 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. |
