What songs/lyrics make you think of Drum Corps?

[MHSmirage]

Top 5 guard/corps reminders:

tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches

tried to overcome the complications and the catches

Nine Inch Nails - "Into the Void" (obviously guard related to me)

Ev'ryday the same old roller coaster ride.

But I've got my pride,

I won't give in,

Eventhough I know I'll never win.

Oh, how I love this

Crazy world.

Victor/Victoria Musical - "Crazy World"

Well, I hear the music,

close my eyes, feel the rhythm,

wrap around, take a hold

of my heart.

Irene Cara - "Flashdance"

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes its not for days

And the people I meet always go their separate ways

......I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back

I been everywhere, still Im standing tall

Ive seen a million faces an Ive rocked them all

Bon Jovi - "Dead or Alive"

Its been a long time since I rock and rolled,

Its been a long time since I did the stroll.

Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,

Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.

Its been a long time, been a long time,

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Led Zepplin - "Rock and Roll" (for all my DCA buddies)

[Jared_mello]

too many.

[DrillmanSop06]

Fastball's "The Way" as previously mentioned.

Parts of Kenny Chesney's "I Go Back" also get me thinking about summer.

"I go back to a two toned short bed Chevy

Drivin my first love out to the levvy

Livin life with no sense of time

And I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line

A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine

Wishin time would stop right in its tracks

Everytime I hear that song, I go back"

"I go back to the smell of an old gym floor

The taste of salt on the Carolina shore

After graduation and drinkin goodbye to friends

And I go back to watchin summer fade to fall

Growin up too fast and I do recall

Wishin time would stop right in its tracks

Everytime I hear that song, I go back, I go back"

I miss drum corps. :(

Oddly enough, "Poppa" by Notorious BIG.

We were on the bus this summer and we were watching a "Best of Will Ferrell" DVD. They had one skit where he was supposed to be Robert Goulet: http://youtube.com/watch?v=p2zRGQX2QLo

For the rest of the season, several kids in the pit and I would just randomly burst into song and start singing the first half of his impression of "Poppa" in the skit. I don't know why it stuck with us, but we just would always start singing that and laughing. And making fun of the bighorn sheep part at the end of the skit. Anyways, kind of random, but that's a song I think of to remind me of 2007.

I guess it's tied with the corps song, actually... that almost seems wrong! The corps song is more meaningful for sure; I suppose it's good for me to put that in there. :D

"In This Diary"

Here in this diary,

I write you visions of my summer.

It was the best I ever had.

There were choruses and sing-alongs,

And that unspoken feeling of knowing

Right now is all that matters

All the nights we stayed up talking

and listening to 80's songs;

quoting lines from all those movies that we love.

It still brings a smile to my face.

I guess when it comes down to it...

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:

These are the best days of our lives.

The only thing that matters

is just following your heart

and eventually you'll finally get it right.

Breaking into hotel swimming pools,

and wreaking havoc on our world.

Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.

The black top's singing me to sleep.

Lighting fireworks in parking lots,

illuminate the blackest nights.

Cherry cokes under this moonlight summer sky.

2015 Riverside, it's time to say, "goodbye."

Get on the bus, it's time to go.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:

These are the best days of our lives.

The only thing that matters

is just following your heart,

and eventually you'll finally get it right.

-The Ataris, 'In This Diary'

That one for lyrics. I used that in the '04 end of season video for CapReg and everyone said it was perfect. For sentimental reasons my "hype song" was 'Every you, every Me' by Placebo. Always the last thing I would listen to before getting off the bus.

[A27Lancer]

For me, it's "My Old School" by Steely Dan. We would listen to it (8-track!) on the bus, and play along with the cow bell part. Every time I hear that song, I think back to tour, and good times on the bus.

[Supersonic]

Oh yeah, and my hype song was "I Can Go the Distance" from the Disney movie Hercules.

I have often dreamed of a far off place

Where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me.

Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face

And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be.

I will find my way- I can go the distance

I'll be there someday, if I can be strong

I know every mile will be worth my while

I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong

I am on my way- I can go the distance

I don't care how far - Somehow I'll be strong

I know every mile will be worth my while

I would go most anywhere to find where I belong

Not the first time a Disney song has been my hype song... in the 2007 WGI season, my hype song was "I'll Make a Man Out of You" because I was a girl tenor keeping up with a drumline of guys. Mwa ha ha ha ha!

Well you asked....

I have 3 sons. Two of my boys not 5 minutes ago started to play Halo 2.

Well the music from Halo puts thoughts of Drum Corps into my head every time, why?... I couldn't tell you.

And Halo 3? What does that make you think of?
