Ok, now that I'm doing the DVD and all of the bits are coming along nicely, I've been thinking about a theme song, personally I really like the theme song that was done for Scooby Shootout but this was made specially for it so we can't use it.

The song will hopefully be played at the beginning of the DVD as part of the intro before the main menu, but as this is a club thing, how about people come up with suggestions about a cool, driving inspiring song that could be used as a theme tune?

Songs I thought of are;

Northern Lite - Treat Me Better

Kasabian - Clubfoot (WRC Evolved theme tune)

Metallica - Fuel

Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady Go - My favourite one

Kasabian - Reason is Treason - I've used the intro to Gran Turismo 4 for this one to show how well it can integrate into a driving theme, it kicks in at around 1m 50sec.

These are some I've chosen, either because I personally like driving to them or they have some involvement around driving by one theme or another.

Who likes what or does anyone have any suggestions for a theme song??

 

Rich - a great idea mate and something we've not discussed before....

Some brilliant suggestions too...

I have feeling this is going to be an interesting (and enjoyable listening to the suggestions) discussion

I'll start giving it some thought...

 

Ian Brown F.E.A.R


First line is "For each a road..."

 

Another Gran Turismo inspired one...

My favourite Game - The Cardigans

YouTube - Gran Turismo HD Preview Featuring The Cardigans

Blur Woo Hoo!!

YouTube - Gran Turismo 5 Preview Blur Song 2 (Woo Hoo) Remix PS3

 

Theres another version of the Cardigans too, remixed by Faithless.

Cardigans - My favourite Game (Faithless remix) - Gran Turismo 2

 

Blur is a good one too! That was used on Colin Mcrae 2 I believe...

 

Apart from the distortion....

Where's you head at - Basement Jaxx ( I do like this one....)

YouTube - Gran Turismo Music Video "MUST SEE"

 

Never been a fan of that song in all honesty, I find it too...messy and loud, though the words say alot about the club

 

Theres this, also used in Forza 2 - Chemical Brothers - Come Inside

 

Voted the most listened to driving song:

YouTube - Queen - Don't stop me now (Top Gear music video)

 

Sorry to take on a very Clarkson-like way of voicing an opinion but No no no no no, gayest of gay songs ever from IMO the most over rated band ever. I personally can't stand it, all my opinion of course, if the majority want it then it'll be it.

 

Chemical Brothers... great driving track, but the eventual song should represent the spirit of the club....

 

Feeder - Shade

YouTube - Just Music - Feeder - Shade

 

Thats Awesome!

 

Andy likes this one - YouTube - audio slave - cochise

and he says he has the album for the one that Sticky has suggested and he says its awesome

Ellie

 

Ellie - I'd not heard Audio Slave before.. another great track....

I feel a WYIOC Driving CD in the making on the back of this...

 

Cochise is an ace song, I've had it on my itunes for around 2 years now

Good point there Al, something else to sort out lol, I'm glad I started the thread now

 

Lange Feat, 'Drifting' Away

Really good track and a bit of relevence, Mick also used Lange feat in his tribute video albeit that track was Follow Me

Listen here Driftind Away

 

Stone Roses Waterfall 12" Remix (God this makes me smile....)

YouTube - The Stone Roses - Waterfall (12" Mix) (audio only)

 

Rich - Queen the most overrated band ever?

I think you need to get a grip and listen to some of their work, young man!
(And that's a very heavy edit fom what I originally typed!)


Al - One of the suggestions that is in the pipeline for the Alps trip was for everyone to fill a CD with their favourite driving tunes, with a brief description as to why each track was on there. these would then be passed between cars for the duration of the trip, as a bit of an insight into everyones tastes, and something to relieve the monotony of the trip down there.

I'll start a thread on the main forum tomorrow.

 

I made the comment with that in mind If we continue to have this level of suggestions put forward over the coming months, I'll be putting a few disks together...

 

eels - Mr E's Beautiful Day (God damn right its a beautiful day....)

Another one that sums up my life nicely...and one I'd like top play when waking up on a Stelvio morning....

I can't find this track online.... anyone here got it?

Found it.....

YouTube - Mr. E's Beautiful Blues - Eels - (beautiful day)

Sorry couldn't resist

 

Well, loads of suggestions here, I think it'd damn near be impossible to pick just one and say "Thats the song of the WYIOC". What I'll do is take a collection of them and play them throughout the DVD in various places, one for each chapter etc.

 

gotta be a song for thought YouTube - Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance Reading Festival listen to the words,its gotta be a classic song for subaru drivers. lol

 

I got it...............brill song

 

All my opinion as I said and I have heard alot of their work, non of which I like except one song. Just like the beatles and Abba, I don't like any of their songs. I won't like them because its the "done thing". Yes they were extremely popular for their time and they did push boundaries in music to get to where we are today but that doesn't mean because of this, I have to like the music they made. You'd be suprised how many people share my opinion as well.

 

Try this one i think it will fit the bill.........YouTube - WRC drifting.

 

Kung Fu fighting Class, we'll use that one just for when theres footage of your car
