FIRST Theme Songs

[Duke_of_Hazard]

Thunderstruck is the most identifiable (remember 2006, when Thunderchickens walked on to Einstien and it started up? EPIC!)...but imagine how much sweeter the competitions would be with some....EuroBeat!

The Initial-Douche link in my sig is an example of it. I think i might just bring a CD to Vegas just in case i can slip it to the DJ....

Thank you Art. Although there is universal consent they are pretty awesome awful, I'm adding the link to my original post.

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

I don't think that FIRST really needs a theme song. They already play a load of songs at regionals(too much for my tastes). If they had a theme then they would be playing it about every hour. Do you really want to listen to the same song hourly for three days? I believe that this would annoy most listeners eventually.

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..."

[Greg Needel]

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