Re: Titles Of Music Played At Regionals?
 

Okay, here's one for you techno fans out there:

At the Midwest Regional, there was some good techno music played during the eliminations (espeically semis and finals). It wasn't your typical FIRST techno though...not the stuff you here over and over. There is one song in particular I am very interested in and had totally forgotten about it until I heard it at the start of the Nuggets/Spurs game tonight.

It wasn't played during a match specifically (its not on any of the SOAP videos), but between matches. I do not recall if it wsa between finals or between semifinals, or before the awards though. It was pretty simple:

The most obvious part of the song was a single note melody, kind of a buzzy high note, over a fairly simple bassline. There were disco-esque stabs here and there as well.

I'll try and post my interpretation of it in hopes to jar a few memories.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

I think you're probably talking about the song Sirius. It's played at alot of sporting events (especially basketball games), and has been played before the finals start at the Arizona Regional every time I've been to it.

I was rather happy when I was watching the NASA Broadcast of Nationals (since we couldn't go) to hear the song Lazy Jones. I've been hoping for a while FIRST would play it somewhere, but I've never heard it until then.

Of music, all I remember is the YMCA over and over again, at reigonals, and then they played...

the Numa Numa song.

Wooooooooooooooow... the surprising part was that everyone I inquired about recognized it, so I guess internet fame really spreads into real life?

Re: Titles Of Music Played At Regionals?
 

Nope, neither is what I am referring to.

This is a techno song that has come out in the last year or two.

I have not heard the song used at any other sporting event than the Nuggets game last night (it was played again at the start of the fourth quarter). I am not sure if it is something they always use or just for last night.

Thanks for trying though,

Kev

JESSE'S GIRL...my all time favorite :)

Re: Titles Of Music Played At Regionals?
 

A great techno song that is played at every first venue and everyone knows (but doesn't usually know the title) is Zombie Nation by Kernkraft 400.

There's also:
2 Unlimited "There's No Limit"
Basement Jaxxx "Where's Your Head At?"
Junior Senior "Move Your Feet"
Blur "Song 2"
Crystal Waters "100% Pure Love"
Freak Nasty "Da Dip"
Rednex "Cotton Eye Joe"
Casper "Cha Cha Slide"
Harry Belafonte "Hot Hot Hot"

Most of those were played at the Philli Regional this year.

(They played the Numa Numa song in Galileo before the finals matches...at least, I think that's when it was)

I'm also attaching the list I made from the FIRST Music Playlist thread. It's a compliation of the songs I've heard at regionals and the songs Chiefdelphi members want played. :)

Re: Titles Of Music Played At Regionals?
 

if someone acually has a playlist / list of ALL the songs played.. . please email it to me at short1@gmail.com . .. i was going to email one of the regional directors to forward the request to a DJ.. but im thinking that would be too much trouble.. . and i couln;t get down to the floor at nats :(. .

Re: Titles Of Music Played At Regionals?
 

Chumbawumba is the artist. Tubthumper is the song. *starts singing* I get knocked down, but i get up again, you're never gonna keep me down...

I met the music DJ at the Rochester Finger Lakes Regional.

He did confirm that there was an "approved" playlist as he (or FIRST) had to acquire the rights to play the tunes at a public venue. Remember, these things are indeed copyrighted (hint, hint).

So, I'll see if FIRST responds with the full list. It's then your responsibility to go and buy the music if your're using it for your highlights videos and/or commercial purposes.

By the way, what they heck is the name of that Latin song that got onto the webcam from the guy in New Jersey; they did play that at Nationals.

Music review of three regionals and Nationals:
1) Finger lakes. Great "mosh pit" for line dancing. lot's of Cotton Eye Joe
2) Cleveland. HUGE dancing in the stands; really rocked for dancing, but lots of YMCA
3) Toronto. Lot's of more techno but lower volume; great international flavor
4) Nationals....not crazy enough. Sound on Newton arena was muted much of the time.

Oh well. I'm dialing up the dial now......

Check out this thread from IRI last year - http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ight=IRI+music

Re: Titles Of Music Played At Regionals?
 

One of my favorites to hear is Mister Roboto from Styx. They are one of my all time favorite bands to listen to. Other songs that I like can come from AC/DC.

Re: Titles Of Music Played At Regionals?
 

The Zombie Nation Song is called Kernkraft 400 and by Zombie Nation even though they say Zombie Nation like 30 times in the song. And I love the "Wheres your head a-blah-blah-t" its awesome.
