Team Theme Songs

[hacksaw692]

The Fembots cannot deny that "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is our theme song. I personally hate that song with a passion, but that's just me. At competitions, though, I'll break out into song, even during a match when I'm driving. It is played just for us after all....

[Meredith Rice]

We made sure that "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" never became our theme song, despite our all-girl-team status. Way to overused and downright annoying.

SigmaC@T 2003 was more or less anything Ludacris and/or something that would in any way resemeble Ludacris-style music...

Robot moving music when we're late for a match (more or less, whenever we're on our way to a match...we move on final call..always): Ludacris - Move *****, get out the way.

What? No one moves even when you've got a team of 108'ers shoving a robot full speed through a crowd yelling "ROBOT COMING THROUGH" and your using a huuuge cart that you built with a big sound system on it.


At any rate, I've now compiled a playlist of things for next year. Its a bit less rap-ish, but I think it'll do nicely. When it's a little more viewable, I'll post it here.

Our team song would have to be Quad City DJ's - Com'on Ride The Train.

It all started when i used it in our chairmans award video entry 3 years ago and it has stuck ever since...

Unofficialy it could be Disturbed - Dropping Plates or Hatebreed - I will be heard. Or Beasty Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn.

[Specialagentjim]

Okay...here's the list so far. Now, my team will probobly kill me for not having enough rap on here. Im sure Andrew Hammer will bring his own CD too for the cart.

This list is just full of some new stuff and some classics:


I also promise to play sandstorm responsibly. ::twitches:: Sandstorm was both the first AND second song I heard at Nationals. We seriously need to cut down on its playage.

Some song Explanations:

Boys are back in town: This will be played as we head back into the UCF regional (Regional Champs, heh, sounded like it could be fun to come back in with).

Mission Impossible: Can you say "108 Transmission?"

Sandstorm: Competition music....I may not even play it unless I'm the first one to do it

Firestarter: Hey, everyone's got electrical problems once in a while.

Around the World: This was played nonstop at nats two or three years ago. It was actually pretty cool at the time.

Over the Line: In case we have any more competitions where a robot must be in a specific scoring zone determined by a line.

One more time: On the offbeat chance we do happen to win any of the awards we won this year or in previous years again (like website, leadership in controls, or champs of something)

The rest is just cool

Any Zepplin Song

Our team theme song is "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash. At VCU in 2002, our drill motors decided to hate us in the practice rounds, and started billowing smoke. We were able to fix them before our next round, but it was a good attention getter. The engineers decided that such a song would be clever to have associated with that accident, so we had them play it during another round at VCU and one at Cleveland, both of which we won. We also piped it through the pits and in the van on occasion too.

Team 1073's theme song for our robot was "low rider" due to the "stealth mode" that was dubbed on us @ the manch competition...that and that's the song we used for the BAE unveiling...

"Low Rider" was our unofficial theme song for lil' MOE in the 2001 year due to his incredible limbo abilities. In the 2002 year, I thought the unofficial theme song for MOEhawk should have been "I Won't Back Down" By Tom Petty, because MOEhawk stood his ground and wouldn't back down no matter how badly his wings were mangled.

The Miracle Workerz actually have 3 original team songs. Eric Teather, the animation leader for the 2001 season, created them during the 2000 and 2001 seasons. They are basically a techno mix that features our famous MOE cheer.

[John JediMaster]

i'm not sure about our team but at nats one song that jan kan played in the pit a lot was the Lowrider song, can't remember who it't by though. I guess that could summarize us as we were very very very low. Under the bar low. (size wise)

The triumvirate core of our team this year would go for anything from the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack. Our freshman even has all the songs memorized from listening to it for hours on end every day of the week and he"s never seen it (he even knows some audience participation lines). The programmers, however, really hate it and will start blasting their silly techno and rap on a pair of speakers they stole from the teacer next door whenever they"re in the room.

In conclusion, we"d have to have the Time Warp as our song because we got started really late and had to spend hours every day working on the robot to get a working robot in time for competition.

It"s astounding..
Time is...fleeting...
Madness...takes its...toll

[Coco the Monkey]

We also have our own custom made theme songs, Brian.

Chances are high that RoboCards don't, and never had one, but if so, I think actually every team would have this song:
They Might Be Giants - "Robot Parade"
[Thanks to Abi for the song ].

In a future time,
Children will work together,
To build a giant cyborg.

Just a snip of the song, but my favourite bit. When I heard it today I realized that that"s already happened through FIRST. The results aren"t exactly a "giant cyborg," but we've created quite a parade of robots. Through the knowledge we"ve gained from our mentors and teachers, we children are building things in six weeks that 100 years ago couldn"t even be built in years by the best engineers. Just a little epiphany of mine...

[SaxMan701]

I've always thought our team's should be "Puff The Magic Dragon", since our team's mascot is a dragon.
