Need song advice
« on: March 20, 2009, 11:59:28 PM »
I'm too scared to call in to ask Tom in case he wants to throw roller derby in the hate pit but I need a suggestion for a rousing song to play while the announcer announces my roller derby team's entrance at our bouts.  The lights go down and all you hear is music... so dramatic!  My teammates are suggesting works by Rob Zombie and newer hard rock bands I'm not aware of.  I'm sure to get great suggestions from all of you.

Supernaut by Black Sabbath

Seconded (though for some reason I wanted to chime in with the Electric Eels' "Agitated," which is less "we're comin' to get you" than "we are mentally unstable and easily irritated").

Also, if we're thinking ABBA,  "Waterloo" would be cooler than "Gimme Gimme".
Also, if you want girl power, What about Heart's cover of "Rock and Roll"?

I agree with Supernaut. I'll add a suggestion too: "Redneck" or "In Your Words" by Lamb of God

A roller derby is like fighting on roller skates right?

elizabeth: Speaking as a derby fan I would recommend looking farther back:

'Cmon Let's Go' or 'Emergency' - Girlschool
'Rebel Girl' - Bikini Kill
'She's a Knockout' - Social Distortion
'20th Century Boy' - T-Rex (or the Girlschool cover of the same song)

Who do you skate for and what's your derby handle?

The Fucking Champs -- Policenauts

This song makes me laugh. I don't know why. TFC do that to me with a number of songs, as does Dragon Force, although that's likely because Dragon Force albums sound like someone took the final track from 10 concept albums about Lord of The Rings and put them all on one album.
