IRI Music 2003

Last year, due greatly to David Kelly the music at IRI was a great success. This year David Kelly and I are working to make it better and more extensive, but we need help with music for the awards. Although the music for the awards was some what good (and a little creative at the same time), the list was made in the last 10 minutes while we sat there. So, this is your chance. What songs are played during the awards ceremony and which ones are your favorite?

Please help make the music at IRI better this year

Here’s what I have:

Peter Gabriel - Big Time
Smash Mouth - All Star
Phil Collins - Dance Into The Light
Beatles - “With a little help from my friends” song
U2 - Beautiful Day

Ya… I actually had this posted under that thread for awhile, but I decided to move it to a new thread because I felt that the Thanks Forum wasn’t the right place for it. I’m actually one of the ones that helped pick out most of the awards music last year, but we are looking for the actual songs that FIRST plays. I was just hoping someone would read this and either remember a song or go look at any video they have of the awards. Help is still appreciated. :smiley:

Clark and i already discussed whether to make a new thead or contune that one. We came to the conclusion that because that was about the 2002 IRI and it was about thanking me for the music, a new thread was needed. Thanks for your observations though :] Help us!

Not an award song…

Jungle Love by Morris Day and the Time!!

Do the Funky Chicken and take pictures of you and DJ dancing to it…

/me runs away

edit - you = clark

I would pay good money to see Fluck & Co dance the Funky Chicken… :smiley:

Heh, if you would have been at our field before our only qualification match we lost at the championships, Andy, Austin, Clark, myself and Kristen Kelso from 131 did the chicken dance…Im thinking a one time only offer, but who knows :wink:

Dave Matthews Band…Everyday…i think…or one of the songs off of that album

sorry…it was “I Did It” off of the everyday album

don’t be afraid to break out the older rock…ac/dc, zz top, lynrd skynrd! also, most of the songs found on “Millenium Funk” are a lot of fun - Jason

In fact, you could probably make a whole dozen Krispy Kremes off of it… :wink:

p.s. don’t ask for a repeat

Play some punk rock…thats the last genre i haven’t heard much of at FIRST competitions! Or some IDM!!! Aphex Twin and Rancid!!!

Ohh how about some gLASSjAW!

I have a challenge for you guys… this may be tough to get.

I wanna hear the song that Ebenezer Scrooge sings at the end of the old black and white movie “A Christmas Carol” (from the Dickens book, of course).

I don’t know the name of the song, but it goes…

“thank you very much
thank you very much
that’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done _ for _ me”

This is the one where he is singing as he is dancing down the street, being nice to everyone.

So there ya go.

Andy B.

Ok Andy…

I’ll take you up on this challenge. I’m downloading the awards movie from the Midwest Regional too for more songs. I’ll even try to have it by Wednesday.
:slight_smile:

Edit: My guess is that it’s probably “28. Different Side to Scrooge” I’m at school now, but when I get home I’ll download it and see. <—hard song to find :frowning:

Edit 2: I’ve added 3 more songs to the list.
Eric Clapton - It’s in the way that you use it
Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Aint’ Seen Nothing Yet
Leslie Carter - Like Wow

Ok let’s sum this up a little…

Here’s what I have.
Eric Clapton - It’s in the way that you use it
Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Aint’ Seen Nothing Yet
Leslie Carter - Like Wow
Peter Gabriel - Big Time
Smash Mouth - All Star
Phil Collins - Dance Into The Light
Beatles - “With a little help from my friends” song
U2 - Beautiful Day
DMB - I Did It
Simon and Garfunkel - Pina Coloda

Will probably be used for something:
Proclaimers - I Would Walk 1000 Miles
Bruce Hornsby - The Show Goes On
Biz Markie - “you say he’s just a friend” song

Thanks to all the people that have helped me. :slight_smile:

Van Halen- Right Now

…that has been used as an award song before

How about

Rancid - Salvation

or um

Marilyn Manson - The Beutiful People !
(^- if there is an imagery or equivilant award)
mwhahaha!

I second that. Whenever I think of songs that got us all pumped up at our high school football games they were AC/DC songs like “shook me all night long” and “back in black” and then they always played bon jovi’s it’s my life too (I think they played that during the LA awards ceremony).

Anyway, goodluck, I already made my contribution by finding the name of the “o o o o” techno song.

**“back in black” **

Thats an excellent “In between Match” song. Certain songs sound good as match songs, but some just have something about them that make perfect songs to play while the field is being reset. Heh I guess you just have to have an ear for music

Oh I agree. I was just suggesting songs for the event in general, not necessarily for events or awards. If 691 was going to IRI we would love to hear that song being played before we came on because of our team colors…or burn baby burn would work too. Then again…if we were coming to IRI, I think I would also be busy taking care of some business (translate: beating you up dj)
