2004 IRI Music Thread
 

It'll be here sooner than we think, so let's start the planning now. I've looked back at last year's IRI Music Thread and have many of those songs already. Really I'm just looking for anything new or interesting that you wanna hear! (As long as it's appropriate)

Let the requests begin! :]

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

THE COMPLETE WILLIAM HUNG COLLECTION!!!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Oh God NOOOOO!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I don't think it's original, but make sure to play 867-5309. It's the song that reminds me of FIRST for some reason, and the DJs at the events I went to never had it!

Also, please play The Final Countdown in the finals. Another that I requested at all 3 regionals and nobody had.

Oh, and Brim Full of Asha by Cornershop and Shook Me All Night Long....good ones!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

You go tto find the cheese-head parody of the song "I'm a loser baby, so why don't ya kill me?". Play that for the WI teams (especially for team 93).

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Some R&B at least? :)

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Hey Mama - Black Eyed Peas

(I'll probably make a lot of posts like this in this thread, forgive me, but I'll keep adding songs as I think of them.)

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Any/All George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic
Strongbad - The Sytem is Down (PM me if you want the version off the CD, 1:46), Trogdor (1:39), and The Cheat is Not Dead (3:02)
ALL Presidents of the United States of America
Catch 22
Interpol
The Avalanches
The Sounds
Crystal Method


That's all I care to come up with right now.

edit: AND THE DARKNESSSS!!!!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I dont mind just as long as theres not much country and a couple of songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.:cool:

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Well, I'm not big on R&B and Country.. which means you guys gotta tell me what's hot and what's not :)

And don't worry, I own the Homestar Runner CD :) I think we could fit in a Trogdor or an Everybody to the Limit in somewhere.

Also, posting both the artist and the title of the song would be quite helpful.

Sometime... when I get a sufficient amount of songs compiled, I'll create a playlist and post it on here.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

:)

Well I'd suggest any good, upbeat, DDR songs, especially if you have the extended versions. Here are some other songs I think would be good for IRI:

Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Guns n Roses - Welcome to the Jungle
Tenacious D - Tribute
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Devo - Whip It
Kenna - Freetime
Maroon 5 - This Love
The Clash- I Fought the Law
The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go
Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf
Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
David Bowie - Let's Dance
The Doors - Break on Through
The Fixx - One Thing Leads to Another
Queen - Another one bites the dust (during elimination matches haha)

that's all I can think of for now.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Ohh, well I have some artists, but there's a lot of songs to choose from though.... heres come.......

Beyonce Knowles
Alicia Keys
Usher
Jay-z
Kanye West
...more coming when I think about them. :D

Ohh yeah! Don't forget about the Cha-Cha slide and all that. It'll be fun dancing around. Hehehe.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I remember a couple years ago...I think at the 2002 IRI, I was taken aback when I heard some bhangra coming out of the speakers. Let's do that again! (hehe, it was a little amusing/strangely heartwarming to watch non-Indians dance to it.)

Also, Coldplay never hurts...I've always wanted to have Radiohead/Optimistic or Radiohead/The National Anthem played during a round.

And Lord of the Rings stuff would be crazy cool, especially around the finals where you can make the music really intense and hardcore!

Finally, there is always Eye of the Tiger.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Jay Z (prod Dj Danger Mouse) - Encore

Incase you don't know, this is from the Grey Album, which is Jay-Z's Black Album mixed with samples from the Beatle's White Album. Made infamous through Wildstang's teaser this year, this is one of the songs I kept listening to right before 461 hit the field for finals.

EDIT: Baj is correct, Eye of the Tiger, and the Rocky theme are neccasary. Oh, and can't forget Kool and the Gang - Jungle Boogie.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Time to Start- Blue Man Group
Rock Star- NERD
Channel Surfin- Feature Cast
Clocks- Coldplay

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Oh, and Vengaboys is a great pick! In particular, "We Like To Party","Boom Boom Boom" and "Up and Down"

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I hear us rednecks in Indiana don't care for too much Technomusic and they are tempted to bring their trusty shootin' rifles if we do hear the Techno :p



Seriously guys, lets try to balance the music...nobody wants an all Techno weekend.

My suggestions:

• LO FIDELITY ALLSTARS - Battleflag (Ill get you the edited version)
• Stabbing Westward- Save Yourself (Same thing again w/ edited version)
• Filter- Hey Man Nice Shot
• Guns'N'Roses- Paradise City
• Guns'N'Roses- Welcome to the Jungle
• Jane's Addiction- Just Because
• Tommy Tutone- 867-5309(Jenny) - I agree with Paul!
• Morris Day & The Time - Jungle Love
• U2 -Elevation (maybe as award music...works nice)
• U2- Desire
• Vanilla Ice- Ninja Rap :p (my personal favorite :p)

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I like your taste in music. Especially the last one. "Go ninja go ninja go!" awesome song by an excellent artist :p

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Eye of the tiger...it was already suggested, but it is awesome.

others...
Marron 5 - Not Coming Home
If I could walk 10,000 miles (i forget the band, dire straits?)
Chevelle - Send the Pain
I'll edit this post an put some more up when i get home!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I belive it was If I could walk 500 Miles by The Proclaimers

As for other songs I would like to hear...

311 - Down, and Beautiful Disaster. You could play these during lunch breaks so people can calm down a bit from everything they have seen.

ABBA - Dancing Queen, Just because.

ACDC - Thunderstruck, Back in Black, TNT

Aerosmith - Livin' on the edge, Dream on, Sweet Emotion.

Al Hirt - Green Hornet Theme <--- Really Fast trumpet playing good for getting the blood flowing.

I'll Do the B's tomorrow :D

-Aaron

More later probably...

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

No offense to anyone, but Coldplay doesn't really sound like something that people could (for lack of a better word) energize themselves too. Their songs are more like lullabies, but that too is another story.

Here's my list of People/Bands we should play

Genesis
ACDC
The Eagles
Bruce Springstein
Village People (Uber Techno versions ;))
Meatloaf
Jimmy Buffet

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

If it wasn't originally available on 8-track then we ain't playin it.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Preferably by The Who, along with some other songs of theirs:
Who Are You
Pinball Wizard
Baba O'Riley
We Won't Get Fooled Again

Also,
CCR (they have tons of good ones)
REM - End of the World as we know it
American Pie
and...GOB - Paint it Black

maybe more later...

-Diobsidian

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

that has to be the funniest song to watch people try to sing (i'm no better at it)

"six o'clock. tv something blada yada yada yada (repeat until) it's the end of the world as we know it. it's..."

p.s. my 229th post...division by zero

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I think anything funky is awesome, stuff from the 70s is where its at kick out some stevie wonder, bobby byrd, james brown, george clinton and stuff from that time and you will get the party rokin, people also like really energetic swing music like from big bad voodoo daddy, cherry poppin daddies and others...

Now on to some other more specific songs...

Beck - Where It's at, devils haircut, tropicallia, new pollution

Prefuse 73 - The End of Biters-International

Jurassic 5 - Whats Golden, Hey

B52's - Rock Lobster

Hrvatski - Vatstep DSP

Cylob - cut the midrange drop the bass

Gorrilaz - Clint Eastwood, 19-200 (theres a remixed one thats faster and really fun)

Grand Master Flash - The Message

ok go - get over it

The Soft Pink Truth - PromoFunk

I dont feel like typing anymore so this will be enough, i have all of them so PM me if you want stuff

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Good ones, Andrew. Gotta love the old dance music like Rock Lobster. My kids are on a Beastie Boys kick, with their favorite being "Hey Ladies!"

I am a proud dad - my kids STILL don't know who Brittney Spears or Backstreet Boys are. And, just today, my 2-year-old was humming "We Will Rock You" by Queen.

As for what to play at IRI, just keep things mixed up (hard rock, dance, old stuff, techno, r&b, whatever) and keep 'em clean.

Andy B.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Guys,

Mix it up all you want, but come finals ... we need to keep it loud and jammin'!

The elimination rounds need to have songs that make you want to bang your head into a wall!

Oh, and of course, during the eliminations we will need to be dancing on the field during "robot cool off time."

-Paul

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Hmmm... I have images of Paul dancing around and putting his head through the wall of the gymnasium. We're gonna have to watch how much coffee and donuts he puts into his system.

Maybe my worries are for nothing. Paul's idea of "bang your head" music is probably something upbeat by Sinatra, like "Lady is a Tramp". ... Crazy Italian.

:)

Andy B.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

In the Air Tonight by Genesis would be a great early morning song - they play it during warmups at Cleveland Browns games.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

In his recent "Comeback" thanks to Dave Chappelle- Rick James- Superfreak :p

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Don't worry :) I've downloaded many "anticipation" songs, as I call them... that just kinda build it all up, and then some really fast paced stuff for the finals.

Within the next few weeks.. after all the hectic school work ends.. I'll start working on getting all these songs you guys are posting, and keep em' coming :]

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

If they have yet to be mentioned, you have to sport some Aqua and JT for me. I have all the CDs if you need them.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

REM-Shiny happy people

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

play Enter Sandman by Metallica, thats completely clean

some AFI songs would be great too, most of their songs are clean

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I know you all at least saw the FIRST Regional Music Playlist thread way back in january. And if you read it you also saw that I was going to make a CD of that music. So that's what I'm working on, if you don't like it, complain to your peers, but I figure this will make Ryan's job just a little easier (all I need to know now is if he wants a data CD of the music or an MP3 CD...lemme know!)

Here's the post with the excel sheet of all the music suggested. Ryan, if you get a chance, double check it and tell me if there are doubles!

[edit]I'm so tired I completely forgot the link! HERE is the post![/edit]

See you at IRI!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

You know I advocate rap music, so put some on. If IRI's lucky, I may even have an ORIGINAL Indiana Robotics Rap. Also put some [censored] office space music.

Ice Cube - "Die M---------" [censored, of course] Also mutilate a fax machine on stage when you play that :D

maybe not but play these

Yeah - Usher
What's your fantasy - Ludacris
What's my name - DMX
Big Pimpin - Jay Z
I got that Fire - Juvenile
Tupac - anything tupac will work there
50 cent - In da' Club

and don't forget Sandstorm. Put that one on for a match w/ 71 vs 461 or 71 allied with 461

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

If you knew me, you'd understand why I laughed when I read this :) Standstorm is a must :]

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread

Bigger than my body - John Mayer

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

i think some youngblood brass band could definately be nudged into the lineup ;) www.youngbloodbrassband.com

and to add a few more specific songs

Istanbul - They Might Be Giants
My Feet Can't Fail Me Now - Dirty Dozen
Strongbad Techno - Strongbad/Homestarrunner!
:D

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

:] All great suggestions people, I appreciate them - keep em' coming :)

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I'm callin K-Tel, because I don't think some of these are the original songs / original artists....

where is my 8-track collection ?

Look what they've done, to my song, ma ... **



** ... this is from a song by Melanie, very polular in the late 60's and early 70's. Ask your parents, kids. She also sang "Brand New Key" - supposedly about roller skates but I think it was probably drug related, just like all other 60's music.

********

At the right time of the awards

Unbelievable - EMF
We Are the Champsions - Queen (for the humble teams)

********

Ryan, I'm likin' that "Indiana Artists Hour" idea more and more.
Do you want to borrow my Jackson 5 albums to get some songs?

I have some Hoagie Carmichael, too, but those are 78's and I don't take them out of the vault.

****


PS. DJ - Please stay out of my posts, and I will stay out of yours.
Maybe I didn't want them 'merged'. :)

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Most of them are not the original release of the song listed. There's nothing wrong with that. I enjoy covers considerably and maintain quite a large library of them. They're often more interesting and more relevant than the original song as recorded.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

So there's been some mention of Led Zeppelin... but no mention of Immigrant Song, in particular. I feel it's my obligation to recommend it.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

undefinedundefinedundefined
Hey I think you need to play some smash mouth All-star. It's one awesome song if you ask me. And ofcorse the song "Love shack"( I think only Andy B. or somebody from 45 would get that). But I am sure you will play some cool songs :cool:

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

So, what's the best way to make a playlist? and I don't mean one on like Winamp or something that'll be used to play off of, I just mean a text one so I can show you guys which songs I have...?

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I would just use winamp and generate an HTML playlist then just copy and past that into a word document or notepad.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Some suggestions:

-Black eye peas- hey mama
-AFI- girls not grey
-NERD- rockstar
-Linkin Park- In the end, Faint (ha, i just saw i poll that said 50% love LP and 50% hate their guts. I thought that was pretty funny. :D )
-ACDC- Back in Black
Red hot chillipeppers- Can't stop

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

bad religion!!
NOFX!!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Artists are good, but Artists and song titles are better - I'm much more likely to get songs by a specific artist if I know which songs people want from them. Just a thought. :]

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Just a few suggestions:

staind - yesterday, price to play
new found glory - all downhill from here
alien ant farm - goodbye, s.s. recognize
eve 6 - think twice
hoobastank - same direction, out of control
incubus - circles, under my umbrella
linkin park - faint
puddle of mudd - spin you around, already gone
trust company - take it all
godsmack - changes, re-align

Yeah I basically went down my windows media player list and picked out some of the more widely-known bands and songs. This should make them a little easier to find. :D

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers- Runnin' Down A Dream(The music for our season video). It's a great song, good lyrics, and can sum up FIRST a bit. Any of the songs I've posted about, you can just ask me for and I'll give them to you if you don't want to search them out to download them. :)

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Perhaps this is my inspriation to finally make Shiny Dirt v 6.0 (Robomix)! If not...good old Shiny Dirt v 1.0 can be brought with and played for all to marvel at :ahh: Maybe if someone can host it for me, I'll release it for the masses and link it here (my MSOE webspace probably can't handle the number of downloads that this awesome song will receive!)

Other songs on my list:

-Megadeth - Crush'em (ok, so the lyrics aren't exactly about gracious professionalism, but its still a good competition song!)
-Alice Deejay - The Lonely One (Great rave song)
-Eye of the Tiger
-The FIRST regulars (Cotten Eyed Joe, We Like to Party, The Launch, Kernkraft 400, Better Off Alone)

I'm sure there is more...but this list is huge already! Its gonna be an awesome time!!!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Okay, here are a few more, just to make Andy Baker happy (and give him a few ideas...):

"Paranoid" by Black Sabbath
"Fly By Night" by Rush
"The Memory Remains" by Metallica
"Welcome To The Jungle" by Guns'n'Roses
"Complicated" by Muzzle
"School Days" by The Runaways

dang, I like that list - time to go off and make another custom mix CD...

-dave

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

WOW thats like the ultimate classic rock album right there...sorta classic..

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Dave,

Don't waste a blank CD. I don't like any of these songs. If you want anyone to hear this garbage, you will have to bring the CD to the IRI yourself. One for each day. And guest MC. And give a motivation speech. And tell us about the 2005 game.

;) shameless, blatant attempt to get dave to commit to the IRI ;)

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

(oooh, good idea, Chris!)

No, Dave, we DON'T want to hear about how Spirit and Opportunity are doing, and we DON'T want to hear how much support you guys are getting after an immensely successful mission. Heck, we WON'T even have time to let you talk to the crowd... we'll be too busy with human player competitions, talent shows and getting in 8 qualification matches for 60 teams.

Yeah, you just come and bring your CD of sucky-songs. We might play them, we might not.

(gee, I hope this works!)

hmmm... speaking of space, why don't you add this to the list when (if?) Dave shows up:

Rocket Man - Elton John


Andy B.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

It's gettin there guys :) I'm really looking for music now that could be used in the finals and awards ceremony. To look at the IRI Awards, see here - http://www.indianafirst.org/The_2004...onal_Rev_0.pdf

A few I have thought of for the awards are "My Hero" by the Foo Fighters, "It's all about the Benjamins" by Puff Daddy and of course "All Star" by Smash Mouth. What else eh? :]

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Playlist will be out soon... I'm still inserting that dreaded music known only as "country" :rolleyes:

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Woo! The most anticipated release of 2004, the IRI music playlist!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Trust me, the country that I play must meet my expectations... which basically means a) doesn't sound like most country b) still sounds good c) minimizes the use of phrases such as "honkey tonkey" :]

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Here is the playlist thus far - remember there's still 15 days or so, and I'm definately still taking requests... haven't got that much feedback, so - let me know what you guys think and let me know if you don't see a song that you want on there.. :]

edit: Looks like you have to save the file and then open it from your computer.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

146. Rob Dougan - Furious Angels

that is such an AWESOME song! i performed in a routine to the instrumental version in my dance studio's recital this year. if i was going to IRI, that would certainly make me want to bust a move!

p.s. props for all the mellencamp!! :cool:

Let me just say, that's a beautiful playlist! Good job, I can't wait!

Do you think you can add Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady Go? It's a good beginning of the day song. 311 - Down is a good one too.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Very nice list. Sorry if I these were on there and I missed them but here's a few more you may or may not want to add.

Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get it Started
Beyonce - Crazy in Love (feat. Jay Z)
Mary J Blige - Family Affair
Liz Phair - Why Can't I?

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Hey Ryan, I private messaged you a list of about 20 songs to check out.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I've updated the IRI Playlist.. it's still growing, and it needs to continue. I'm shooting for around 700 songs... any suggestions would be helpful. Very helpful :]

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

I don't know if you would want them but here's a few more:

Toby Keith - Whiskey Girl
John Mayer - Bigger than my Body
Janet Jackson - All Nite (Don't Stop)
Chritina Milian - Dip It Low
Nina Sky - Move Ya Body

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Some oldies but goodies:

Stir it up - Bob Marley
Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
It's Now or Never - Elvis
25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - (forget the artist, it's a campy disco song)
Funkytown - (again, forget the artist)

Some up-tempo Sinatra tunes would mix in well, also, with all of this new stuff. Maybe "Lady is a Tramp" or "Under my skin"

Speaking on Sinatra... "These Boots are Made for Walkin" - Nancy Sinatra

Shifting genres, we need some old-school hip hop in here also. How about:

Momma Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J
It Takes Two - Rob Base


Andy B.

Santa Esmeralda. It's actually a remake of the vastly superior song originally recorded by The Animals (which wouldn't exactly fit at the IRI):

"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood...."

Lipps, Inc.

I shouldn't know that stuff, but I watch too much VH-1 not to know.

How about various selections from the Top Gun soundtrack....

Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins
Mighty Wings - Cheap Trick

Just for fun:

In the Navy - Village People

And finally, for Karthik (AND Amanda :-P):

You've Lost that Loving Feeling - Righteous Brothers

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Few more:

Black Eyed Peas - Hey Mama
Jennifer Lopez - I'm real
Eve 6 - Here's to the Night
Daurde - Feel the Beat

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

Looking at the playlist...

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper / Little Help from my Friends" (I don't know if you're following the FIRST award playlist, but it would be nice to hear the combo of show up during competition)
Barenaked Ladies - Life, In a Nutshell (upbeat, and it's one of those songs that no one else seems to have heard)
Santana - Smooth (it's not on the playlist, and I've heard it at every other FIRST event I've been to. Can't break the chain. :))

Other than those four, I can't think of much else to add. Nice job with the playlist.

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

You got to Play Zombienation. Wo Oh Oh OH OH!

Re: 2004 IRI Music Thread
 

"Low Rider" by War definitely needs to be on that list. :)

Others:

"Falling for the first time" - Barenaked Ladies
"Free to Go" - Folk Implosion
"Boom Boom Boom" - Rare Blend
"Lollipop (Candiman)" - Aqua
"Caraluna" - Bacilos
"Greatest Day" - Bowling for Soup
"Don't Give Up on Me" - Fastball
"Calc Lecture Girl" - I Voted for Kodos
"I Want You to Want Me" - Letters to Cleo
"Mirror Mirror" - M2M

... I think that's it, for now. If you need "Calc Lecture Girl", let me know - I Voted for Kodos isn't that popular yet, and most people don't have their music ... yet. :)
