2004 IRI Music Thread

[Michelle 236]

146. Rob Dougan - Furious Angels

that is such an AWESOME song! i performed in a routine to the instrumental version in my dance studio's recital this year. if i was going to IRI, that would certainly make me want to bust a move!

p.s. props for all the mellencamp!!

[Paul H]

Let me just say, that's a beautiful playlist! Good job, I can't wait!

Do you think you can add Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady Go? It's a good beginning of the day song. 311 - Down is a good one too.

[sanddrag]

Very nice list. Sorry if I these were on there and I missed them but here's a few more you may or may not want to add.

Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get it Started
Beyonce - Crazy in Love (feat. Jay Z)
Mary J Blige - Family Affair
Liz Phair - Why Can't I?

[David Hoff]

Hey Ryan, I private messaged you a list of about 20 songs to check out.

[Ryan Dognaux]

I've updated the IRI Playlist.. it's still growing, and it needs to continue. I'm shooting for around 700 songs... any suggestions would be helpful. Very helpful

[sanddrag]

I don't know if you would want them but here's a few more:

Toby Keith - Whiskey Girl
John Mayer - Bigger than my Body
Janet Jackson - All Nite (Don't Stop)
Chritina Milian - Dip It Low
Nina Sky - Move Ya Body

[Andy Baker]

Some oldies but goodies:

Stir it up - Bob Marley
Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
It's Now or Never - Elvis
25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - (forget the artist, it's a campy disco song)
Funkytown - (again, forget the artist)

Some up-tempo Sinatra tunes would mix in well, also, with all of this new stuff. Maybe "Lady is a Tramp" or "Under my skin"

Speaking on Sinatra... "These Boots are Made for Walkin" - Nancy Sinatra

Shifting genres, we need some old-school hip hop in here also. How about:

Momma Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J
It Takes Two - Rob Base

Santa Esmeralda. It's actually a remake of the vastly superior song originally recorded by The Animals (which wouldn't exactly fit at the IRI):

"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood...."

Lipps, Inc.

I shouldn't know that stuff, but I watch too much VH-1 not to know.

How about various selections from the Top Gun soundtrack....

Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins
Mighty Wings - Cheap Trick

Just for fun:

In the Navy - Village People

And finally, for Karthik (AND Amanda :-P):

You've Lost that Loving Feeling - Righteous Brothers

[sanddrag]

Few more:

Black Eyed Peas - Hey Mama
Jennifer Lopez - I'm real
Eve 6 - Here's to the Night
Daurde - Feel the Beat

[IMDWalrus]

Looking at the playlist...

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper / Little Help from my Friends" (I don't know if you're following the FIRST award playlist, but it would be nice to hear the combo of show up during competition)
Barenaked Ladies - Life, In a Nutshell (upbeat, and it's one of those songs that no one else seems to have heard)
Santana - Smooth (it's not on the playlist, and I've heard it at every other FIRST event I've been to. Can't break the chain. )

Other than those four, I can't think of much else to add. Nice job with the playlist.

[Tytus Gerrish]

You got to Play Zombienation. Wo Oh Oh OH OH!

[Katie Reynolds]

"Low Rider" by War definitely needs to be on that list.

Others:

"Falling for the first time" - Barenaked Ladies
"Free to Go" - Folk Implosion
"Boom Boom Boom" - Rare Blend
"Lollipop (Candiman)" - Aqua
"Caraluna" - Bacilos
"Greatest Day" - Bowling for Soup
"Don't Give Up on Me" - Fastball
"Calc Lecture Girl" - I Voted for Kodos
"I Want You to Want Me" - Letters to Cleo
"Mirror Mirror" - M2M

... I think that's it, for now. If you need "Calc Lecture Girl", let me know - I Voted for Kodos isn't that popular yet, and most people don't have their music ... yet.
