Here are some songs that I think would love to hear at the end of the regional. Some of these songs have lyrics that apply to the situation, while others just have a great sound.
"
U2 - Beautiful Day" -- They played this right before the final score was announced at this year's IRI. Also, Steve Rourke and I heard it on the way to the Long Island Regional, Saturday morning in 2004, the day of Team 1114's first regional win. It's been associated with 1114 in my mind since.
"The Outfield -- Winning It all" -- NBC used to use this song with their
video montage at the end of the finals. An absolute classic.
"
R. Kelly -- I Am The Greatest" -- Another song that NBC used a lot during the Jordan era. Anything associated with Michael Jordan sends chills down my spine.
"
The Arcade Fire - Rebellion" -- I can't really explain it, but something feels triumphant about this song. I listen to it every morning before I leave for a FIRST event to get myself pumped up.
You'll understand if you ever watched the Black Donnellys (Don't click the link if you're not a fan of TV violence)
"
Fallout Boy - Sugar We're Going Down Swinging" -- Let's show some love for the finalists.
"
Joe Satriani - Top Gun Theme" -- This might be the best song on the list. Frankly, you could probably just grab a bunch of soundtracks from 80's movies and use any of their theme songs.
"
Sean Paul - Like Glue" -- Nothing says celebration like some good old Dancehall music. Sean Paul is another Simbot favourite.
"
Foo Fighters - My Hero" -- No need for explanation.
"
Green Day - Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" -- See above
How about anything by John Williams. For example:
E.T.,
The Olympic Theme
But after all that, there's no song I'd rather hear than "We Are The Champions".
People should listen to this Andy Baker character, he seems like a smart guy...
