Competition Music

[Conor Ryan]

I'm thinking of putting together a First CD, and i'm looking for some suggestions for songs. Like the type of music that they play at competitions and stuff. So give me some requests.

note:chances are i own the music anyway, my dad is a dj part time.

your going to want

"Hot Hot Hot" by Buster Poindexter

"The chicken dance" by the Blue Man group

"Bang on the Drum all day" by todd Rudgren

"Best days of our lives" by the Baha Men

"Conga" by Gloria Estefan

Those are just a few i can think about right now that are tradition from what i have been to, that actually have words

sorry bout the duplicate, i was thinking instead of bringning back the dead i'd give birth to a new thread

[Mike Ciance]

you should PM Robo Hottie71 and ask him about using Shiny Dirt

[Geoff P.]

the cha-cha slide is definitely a classic.

[jgannon]

Darude - Sandstorm. Classic.

[vic burg]

yes. sandstorm.

[Conor Ryan]

sounds like techno is the way to go, i like Strongbad techno and the song from Need For Speed Underground by Crystal Method, Born to Slow

[karinka13]

Techno is cool and all, but if you overdo it its just...boring...so i suggest mixing it up a little more...popular songs go over big too

[JTRULOCK]

you need to put some oldies songs on there...everyone loves oldies. A good one is "Just What I Needed" by the Carr's. ( my fav. song...maybe it isn't that good but i would love you if u put it on.)

[Chris Reynolds]

Another good song is the song from Napoleon Dynamite... "Canned Heat" by Jamiraqui or something like that.

[Dan Richardson]

Ozone- Mia Hi aka Dragonste din tei( its the new Around the world By ATC .. that song musta played 30 times at nationals 3 years ago )

[Ianworld]

My taste isn't that mainstream so I don't know how good it is for giant groups, but here is a couple that i can think of off the top of my head.

Yoshimi vs The Pink Robots - by the Flaming lips
Another one bites the dust - by Queen
Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult
Reach for the sun-Polyphonic Spree

[Kevin Kolodziej]

We've left out the obvious - Mr. Roboto!

Kernkraft 500 by Zombie Nation and We Like To Party by The Vengaboys are also FIRST classics.

I can't say I've ever heard it played at a FIRST event, but Ballroom Blitz would be a good one too.

And feel free to mix Shiny Dirt all you want...just let me know how it turns out and give proper credit (PM me if you want to discuss anything about it).
