i am tempted to say "low rider" by war, but i feel that song is owned by doorag. so "loose booty" by funkadelic. then i would be the height, width, breadth, depth of COOL.

This is truly a brilliant thread idea. Yay Di!

Hm..."Headhunter" by Front 242.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 October 2002 01:43 (twenty-two years ago) link

i wish i knew that song so i could do a mental image. i always picture you walking into the ring headbanging to bohemian rhapsody ned!

Tracer, that's the type of song that will get you mocked as being a sub-Ric Flair.

you all realize that all these songs would be redone by nu-metal bands or lil kim in an attempt to license them later.

anyway my song would be 'freak like me,' and i, like goldust, would make people's tv screens go into letterbox format when i entered.

I have my wrestling career planned out: I will carry a heavy encyclopedia and hit people over the head with it. I shall also shout things like "you're books are overdue" to my blooded opponent.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 23 October 2002 16:56 (twenty-two years ago) link

I would use the same song I would use to serenade someone ala Lloyd Dobbler - 'TV Eye' as performed by John Zorn. The best wrestling finishing move ever was THE BELLY CLAW, which was used by Jake "The Milkman" Millimen in the ol' AWA. He would grab hold of his opponent's gut and squeeze. Instead of getting him a submission it usually just made his opponent angrier so he would get his ass beat even worse than normal.

"Wot"

I had a friend we called Captain Hoss and we always did our retro thing in the midnineties at "Planet Earth" at Club 950 (it lives still, at Neo, I hear). People probably didn't appreciate it when we'd do this number up, which was every night, since we knew the DJ. A lot of highly dramatic call-and-response, I'm sure you can imagine.

My pick = "I Am Damo Suzuki"
