2005 IRI Bizarro Music List

[Travis Hoffman]

We know we're gonna get inundated with the usual requests for Zeppelin, Queen, the Beatles, etc. in the *other* IRI music thread, so let's hear your ideas for really bad, bizarre, obscure, or other "unique" music that should be played at the 2005 IRI. Entries could either be songs that are totally out of place at a robotics competition, or perhaps the kind of brain-exploding garbage they can play as cruel "motivational" music to coerce the setup/teardown crews to get their jobs done faster or to drive the throng of people screaming out the door when the show's over (assuming DS&TK doesn't do that already........HA! Just kidding - rock on, dudes!).

This will allow Dave and Clark to compile an "alternate" playlist they can whip out when they're feeling a bit evil.

Let me start the list -

Brain-exploding Garbage:

1. ANY DDR SONG IN EXISTENCE, looped indefinitely with the volume all the way up
2. POLKA POLKA POLKA
3. Any recordings of Karthik singing - I know of at least one.
4. Barney kids songs
5. Whiny punk-pop bands (not all punk bands are whiny - just the bad ones)

Weird Stuff:

1. Carmina Burana O Fortuna
2. Phantom of the Opera - Toronto cast only
3. 80's TV Theme Songs - A-Team, Airwolf, Knight Rider
4. The Emperor's Theme from Star Wars
