Silly Entrance Music

Post by Rapidrory »

You know how in wrestling matches etc. people enter the ring with their signature song playing? Well, ever since the last AWS I've been thinking of various songs that would be great for some of the robots to enter to..
The idea originated when I decided that Stanley should have the Imperial March from Star Wars (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8) played when it entered the arena.. Since then I've spotted a few other suitable songs:

The chorus from 'Tarantula' for Pete's robot Tarantula: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVch_PK7SOY#t=21

The chorus from 'Bulletproof' for Dave's Bulletproof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... 4i8Lo#t=49 ...Either that or 'Titanium'..

...Whatever this is for Nuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04P_uBq3F0g

The chorus from this for Chocolate bot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbaRFShF_D0#t=45

Something like this for Flail Whale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpgZNHByOd8#t=19

...You get the idea :P

Feel free to suggest songs for other robots (nothing too rude :roll:). If we got a few, and the EO and the owners of said robots agreed, I'm quite tempted to make a playlist of ~10-20 second clips from those songs and play them while the robots are going into the arena for their first fight (may get tedious if it gets played again and again :L). Alternatively people could just do it themselves with their own on their phones or whatever if they wanted instead...

I dunno, just throwing the idea out there because it made me chuckle :P

Ok, first of all Rory:

If you ever put that song anywhere near my robot, I cannot be held responsible for what happens to your face afterwards....

Second:
The song you used for Nuts, I prefer this version (the song itself is the Benny Hill theme tune): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCIYmpR7a_k

Thirdly:
Thunderstrike from Dan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM
Everything is Awesome robot from Gemma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTqXEQ2l-Y
Flail Whale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25MQM8XaYwU

Dave, I knew you'd like it! It was more chosen for the name of the song than the song itself; it was my least favourite of the list :P

I think various Lionel Richie songs are needed for the (surprisingly numerous) Lionel Richie themed robots...

Trying to think of a suitable one for Tinny and BullyDozer.... Got as far as maybe the Dennis the Menace theme for Bully...

I so wanted to build a robot called "In For The Kill" just for the fun of it getting drawn against Bulletproof :D

The "Bob The Builder" song to introduce any robot resurrected from a pile of bits in the previous round...
Paula wants "The Duck Song" for Ouchie :roll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtN1YnoL46Q
Obviously "My Heart Will Go On" for Titanic ;)

I'll get my coat...

She's got a new album now so even more names for people to choose :P

Broadly on topic I once had a team of robots all named after songs from the same Modest Mouse album.

It always confused me, that. Thunder is a noise, how can it strike?
