Journal Em Emalb's Journal: Wouldn't this be cool? (Plus a poll) 22

Journal by Em Emalb

Suppose you have the ability to have a wrestling theme and wrestling announcers appear/talk when you want them to.

At a party:

"OMG! THAT'S EM EMALB'S MUSIC! OH THE HUMANITY!!!"--as your theme starts playing. Wouldn't that just rule?

You come out of the bathroom after crushing down the toilet:

"OMG! WHAT DID EM EMALB EAT!"-plus theme music.

Chilling in the afterglow of sex: "OMG! EM EMALB JUST ROLLED OVER INTO THE WET SPOT! OMG!"-cue music.

What would your theme music be?

  • Not to go all wussy with classical music, but the "Mars" section of "The Planets" by Holste would be my theme.
    • Sorry, its "Holst", and if you are going to go listen to it, I prefer the Leonard Bernstein conducted version (I think its the NY or Boston Symphony). Bernstein really makes mars sound warlike... I've heard other music which uses more legato than staccato, which is pretty sad for that movement...

      • Bernstein, conducting the New York Philharmonic, on Columbia. I think I burned a groove in that CD. Ol' Lenny remembered that it's "Mars, the Bringer of War", not "Mars, the Lame Attempt at a Waltz in 5/4 Time".

        And it would be perfect for wrestling music, because the slow build gives the announcers time to lay it on nice and thick. Time it right, and you can slide under the bottom rope, pop up, and hit Triple-H from behind just as the crescendo peaks.

      • Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner. I thought of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, but the canon shots would probably be attributed to bodily noises, which might not attain the effect I was hoping for.

        One other modern possibility would be "I've Got the Power" (I loved that song in the Fischer King).

  • but played on electric instruments.
  • ...and by "frighteningly" I mean "terrifyingly", I've had exactly the same thought. Well, not the bathroom part.
    • "OMG! EM EMALB IS GOING TO REPLY TO THIS COMMENT! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!"

      heh. Great minds and all that.

      I'm having a hard time figuring out what song I'd use. I really don't know. As long as I could change it at a moment's notice, I'd be cool with it.

      For example: crowded area: Fucking Hostile, by Pantera. Romantic evening: Some Barry White. Baseball game: Benny Hill theme. etc, etc, etc.
  • It would have to be Black Sabbath's A National Acrobat [tabpower.com]. I just love that song.
  • Random noise from a Jew's/Jaw/Juice Harp [wikipedia.org].
    • Being able to play the banjo song from Deliverence could be amusing, especially when I am walking by a buncha nascar fans in walmart :-D
      • Technically you could only play half of the theme to Deliverance, as it's dueling banjos, thus requiring two instruments.

        I got a banjo a while back to learn to play. I'm never going to be very good at it as I have intermitent tremors and very poor manual dexterity.

        I can play a retarded version (or parts thereof) of the following songs:
        Dixie
        Walk the Line
        Folsom Prison Blues
        Cocaine Blues
        Half of Dueling Banjos
        Darth Vader's theme from Star Wars
        That song about a red door getting painted black that I can't remembe
  • DAMN-- I remember most of this without looking it up except one verse i forgot. I think this is a cracking fighting song mate!

    Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin
    I came to win
    Battle me?
    that's a sin

    I won't tear the sack up, Punk you'd better back up
    Try and play the role and yo the whole crew will act up
    Get up, stand up, Come on, throw your hands up
    If you've got the feeling jump across the ceiling

    Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk
    Yo, I'll bust em in the eye and then I'll take the punks home

    Feel it,
    • Mmm... All that does is make me wonder when college football starts up again.

      (It's the song they play between the 3rd and 4th quarters at Wisconsin Badger games. It's amazing to see 80,000 people dancing to that at once.)
  • It's the Imperial March
  • Just for the sheer "dig your eyes out with a rusty spoon" effect of that particular song.
  • Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer.

    Imagine something akin to John Travolta strutting down the street to Staying Alive, and you've got the idea. :-D

    ....Bethanie....
  • Great poll question. My answer is definitely "Gimme Shelter" by the Stones.
  • i'd choose "4 ton mantis" by amon tobin [ninjatune.net]. it gets infinite bonus points of awesome for its name alone.
  • YES you know it's TRUE!
    Ooh! Ooh!
