FIRST Theme Songs

As some may recall, Dean brought two FIRST Theme songs to the 2006 premiere Boston Regional. Aside from then, Championships, and a few off-season events, I don't think I've heard them played anywhere else. I can't find the links now, but I will reupload them tommorow if I can't navigate the new FIRST website (who can?). They are at the bottom of this page, courtesy of Art Dutra and Team 228. You can see a former discussion on them here.

Now, I know people are generally very annoyed by these two songs (the reason for it being my ringtone during competitions), but I would like to hear them played more often during regionals. Most people associate loud techno/rock with regional events, and it would be nice to have a few single songs that define "FIRST" during events, similar to what "Welcome to the Jungle" does for football games. And if you don't agree with these two songs, make your own, or propose lyrics for one before you start bashing these. I'll admit I am not a huge fan of them, and one does sound like an Outback Steakhouse commercial, but they are something.

So come on, what are your thoughts?
