FIRST Regional Music Playlist

Coming from the FIRST Music thread, I think we should get everyone to suggest one or two songs that we could recommend FIRST play at regionals. Our favorites. I’ll update this post with the songs and who recommended them…

Also, if you want people to RECOGNIZE the songs, also provide a link to iTunes or an mp3 so we know.

Rules:

  • No bad lyrics.
  • Song length around 4-5 mins, not ‘Stairway to Heaven’ ballads guys :wink:
  • Make the songs somewhat relevant to FIRST, robotics, technology, or something like that.

Oh darn I didn’t read the part about a few songs.
I guess I’ll chose:

Although all the songs I mentioned earlier should be taken in consideration!

Oh and by the way all the songs I posted in the long list ARE the BEST songs. Not just songs I like.

How about two groups? The Barenaked Ladies should definitely be thrown in there, as well as everyone’s favorite, They Might Be Giants.

The day I hear “Particle Man” played at a FIRST regional will be the day that all is right in the world…:slight_smile:

That pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

George

I put those who had around 2 (not 999999) songs recommended. Place the songs you want in a format I can read, like…

Song Title- Band/Artist

Such as…

Celebrity- Barenaked Ladies

Hurts So Good OR Small Town - John Mellencamp

hey, just because i don’t have ONE or TWO favorite songs doesn’t mean i shouldn’t be included!
