Music Ideas To Get the Crowd Excited

So I am working on making a play list of music to play at the competitions from our pit. The songs we plan on playing are going to be up beat, so if anyone has any idea of other up beat songs that would be nice. (techno accepted, but Sailor Moon doesn’t cut it)

polka (not really), sandstorm, ozzy, and dj tiesto

sandstorm definitely…
I could give a few Japanese artists, but no one likes that kind of music.

Be wary to keep your volume down, and to respect the teams working next to you. With the amount of noise on the field already, I know I personally wouldn’t want to come back to my pit and have to endure the music choices of another.

So as long as you check with the teams near you, and don’t get shut down by the Pit Admins (like we did a couple years ago), more power to you!

EDIT: To keep this on topic, here are my suggestions:
-Slam by Pendulum
-Paper Planes by MIA
-Click Click Boom by Saliva
-Painkiller by Pendulum
-Undead by Hollywood Undead
-Most Flogging Molly songs

(also, this being from an audiophile: Make sure there’s bass! Nothing is worse than listening to a high pitched garbled stream of noise coming from someone’s laptop speakers. If it doesn’t kick you in the chest when the drummer hits the kick, something’s wrong!)

How about some death metal or metalcore? o:
Of course it might be more of a bloodlust then what you’re wanting ^_-

Leva’s Polka- by: Basshunter- Amazingly upbeat especially towards the middle.
Sandstorm- by: Daruda- Good upbeat…beat…:o
Operation Ground and Pound- Really upbeat! Still trying to beat it on GH3!! :yikes:

Also: PLEASE NO SANDSTORM!

It’s been WAY overplayed, to the point that it’s almost painful to hear… (That and it’s not exactly the most amazing song anyway…)

Rock and Roll part 2 by Gary Glitter :wink:

3.17, 12th bullet, allows the Pit Admin to do this. And when Craig says “shut down”, he means it. They can shut down your pit’s power or confiscate the music. Same goes for music on carts–don’t have it there, either. Keep it to about the noise of a handheld power tool or lower and you should be fine.

When this song came out in the 70’s I thought it was great. Everyone else thought I was weird. Now in the last 20 years it must be the most played song in any sports arena.

Any song from Death Magnetic.

Don’t shut it off until everyone can sing it.

play “Surfin Bird” by the Trashmen until everyone goes crazy… we have a count going during build season, were hoping to get a 1000 play count before we all go completely psycho.
