I just resently (today) found out that my dad decided that i would help do the DJ-ing for a semi-pro soccer game, and i was hoping that some of you could help me out. I was hoping that some of you could post some song names that would be good for a soccer game, things insperational and that kind of thing (only things i have are: we will rock you[lol] , and songs that have to do with the sun[the name of the team is Sol]) any help would be greatly appreciated [Smile]

*Sneaks in*

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

No don't, but I can look to see if I can come up with anything. Really depends on the type of music you are looking for.

Sun King by the Cult?

Edit: probably not . . .

Sunshine on My Shoulder by John Denver prob'ly won't cut it, either . . .

I know if I were at that soccer game there would be only one song I'd want to hear:

Duke of Earl; Gene Chandler

[Big Grin]

That's the best song ever, you know.

Oooh, I just thought of some more:

Dancing Queen; ABBA

We are the champions; Queen

I believe in a thing called love; The Darkness [Wink]

I have flawless tastes in music, no?

"I'm gonna soak up the sun" -Sheryl Crow

"Celebration" -?

"Eyes of a tiger" -? (the Rocky song)

BUM! BUM bum BUM! BUM bum BUM BUMBUMBUMMM...

::sings "Eye of the Tiger" horribly::

Yeah, I'd say that'd be a good one to play.

Thinking of football games, crowd pleasers are often "Shout!" (The Isley Brothers), "Louie, Louie" (originally by the Pharaohs), and "Hey Baby," to name a few. Eminem goes over well with drunk college kids, but I'm not entirely sure of your target audience...

And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night, and his fortune must always be EYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEE of the tiger.

(Told you I suck at singing)

It makes the most sense. [Smile]

Suerte.

What about "I'll Follow the Sun"? Really, though, you'll never get permission for a Beatles song.

(No, I don't have any helpful input. *points* He stole all my ideas!)
