FIRST Theme Songs

[EvilMonkyPirate]

Low Rider is the only song that when I hear it outside of a FIRST competition I laugh. All I can think of when I hear it is back in the day when my sister Pam was on the team Nashua's(team 151) robot was a low rider so every match the song would be played.

Thats the most identifiable FIRST song to me.

I believe that the "officially" theme song of FIRST is that techno song that they play at every event.

That would be Sandstorm, by Darude.

Over the last 11 years that I have been around FIRST there is no song that I identify more with FIRST than "Cotton Eyed Joe."

true that. 2007 has also been the year of weird al's "white & nerdy." (i heard it at least 10 times over the 3 days at the Florida regional... and many times at the Florida Vex competition) no other song fits robotics people so perfectly... there's even the segway.

now what comes to my mind is ICE ICE BABY by vanillia ice , because it was the first song played during hte VCU regionals 1/4 finals and i remember because it was our first win. also livin on a prayer by bon jovi comes to mind , because it was the first song that i heard when i went into the GA dome last year at championships

Does anyone know what the name of the song that they played in the intro video at the regionals?

A friend of mine and I had to actually specially request it for it to be played at Palmetto.

I think they only played it once, but I could be wrong. I wasn't exactly always listening to the music, but I have the feeling that I would have figured it out from the emotion of those around me.

And I would just begin to dance, as well.

EDIT::I thought I would add that they decided to play the slowest and most depressing song they had at the last qualification match at Palmetto...with us, 34, and 1618 on one alliance. It was by far, the most depressing match I had ever seen. Our transmissions had been destroyed in the previous match, and due to wiring issues, it would not drive straight for the life of it. 1618 fell over early on in the match, barely thirty seconds in to it. 34 had their flag capped by one of the human players, and was of course unable to score for the rest of the match. So, in conclusion, I must say, a shout out to the volunteers who choose these songs, sometimes they're right on!

"Remember The Name" Fort Minor....it's in all the other sports competitions and honestly, the chorus sticks in my head at competition all the time. "...50 percent concentrated power of will..."

Did anyone happen to catch the song our team sang at West Michigan. You have to admit, that was funny.

Bhat song and by who?? Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Armin van Buuren?

I think I can find a song out of my 8 gigs of music by these artists.


On another note, I like that "Enter Sandman" and "Welcome to the Jungle" or "TNT".

Pavan.

Yes, I have over 10 gigabytes of techno music on my computer!

"Iron Man."
Or, as we are the Olympics of the Robot World, "Summon the Heroes" by John Williams.
Or if you really want to rouse the crowd, "One Day More" and "Do You Hear The People Sing?" from Les Miserables.
To be continued...

I feel that, especially in the eliminations, good DJing can really make a big difference at an event. The sound of "Thunderstruck" playing as the final match began on Einstein this year made me jump up and down even more than I was already. It's a significant part of the experience.
