In 2004, it was Usher - Yeah. In 2005, we couldn't really find one. This year, it was Nelly - Grillz

"You Spin Me Right Round" by Billy Idol...

It has a special meaning for many of us. ;)

Re: To function properly?
 

Billy Idol does not sing that, Dead Or Alive does fyi.

And gg.. save us all!

One of the many 1hr+ long progressive mixes by DJ Devine, some Locust Toolbox, or DesignerThumbs for us.

Re: To function properly?
 

But Billy Idol also sings his own version of it, I believe...

Smoke on the water, Deep Purple

sadly my team doesn't have any dedicated song we all sort of listen to our own thing :(

Re: To function properly?
 

Last year we did not have our own team song, but in 2005 (a great year for us) we listened to alot of Queen. I'm actually listening to some right now. :D I think it just made us all relax, and we built a better robot because of it.

He's never recorded that song. I told Big Mike that years ago :p

Re: To function properly?
 

Hm...okay, then...

Anyway, it's a song that our entire team, including Mr. Cokeley, treasures. And we have Corey Balint to thank for that. ;)

Wow! Is this your personal choice, or the choice of the whole team? That's a tune I haven't heard in maybe decades! :D

In 2004 Final Countdown by Europe was our big thing. I don't think we've had an official song or anything since then, though everyone had a thing for the Magical Trevor animation in '05.

the team was really dependent on music when they were in the shop. being the only computer literate one there, they asked me to make a computer dedicated to playing music on the tower speakers we had sitting around. i brought over an old emachine with slackware on it and started ripping some cds they brought in. one night, i was told to make a playlist of just led zeppelin and put it on shuffle repeat. this just happened to be the night before our scrimmage at chatsworth. they reportedly stayed until 2:00AM tuning the bot and listening to led zeppelin. they couldnt figure out how to turn it off without unplugging it, so they left it on with the speakers off. came back the next morning and it was still playing.

This is pretty much what I can walk into in the shop on any given day during build:
Pavarotti
The Beatles
Frank Sinatra
House on Pooh Corner - Kenny Loggins
I think I've also heard some Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young
