Theme songs for Thunder!

[Laramie]

Any of you remember the old disco days' song: I'll see if I can bring it up and post it later!

It's Raining Men--Weather Girls aka: Two Tons of Fun!!

That would raise the roof off the Ford Center!

[betts]

Haha! The women would love that one. I think that should be the song playing when the team runs in at the start of the game. Of course, I suspect they and the owners might disagree with me.

[Laramie]

I found:

It's Raining Men--Weather Girls on YOU TUBE:

YouTube - Weather Girls - Its Raining Men


Another YOU Tube Version: YouTube - Geri Halliwell - It's Raining Men

We need to find a cool song to play after a win, like the yankees playing new york, new york, and the red sox playing dirty water. I think after the Hornets won here, they played that "Hey" generic song.

[dai]

I agree with you Nixon. The Kinks did a song call Oklahoma U.S.A., but it is too mellow.

[dai]

I can't any good thunder songs. Thunder Kiss '65 by White Zombie was the most up tempo song I could find, but it doesn't even mention Thunder in the chorus.

[Laramie]

We will definitely need something that the crowd can stomp their feet and clap too!

[SCHOONER]

I Heard Someone On Koco Mention The Thunder Rolls By Garth Brooks.

[Karried]

If we could only get the chorus

' And the Thunder Rolls... and the Lightening Strikes'..

let's leave the cheating dog of a husband out of it.. lol

[jstanthrnme]

My vote is this:
YouTube - AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck - AC/DC

It won't get better than that.

[Karried]

omg.. that is so it!!!!!!! Fantastic find....

[Karried]

That is our theme when we win..

'You've Been Thunder Struck' this is it, no question.

You're a genious.

[jstanthrnme]

I'd like to hear the crowd chant that sound thats in the begining when we're on defense. Blocked shot or steal then in unison the ford center yells "THUN-DER!!"

[Karried]

and then when we win.. ' You've Been ThunderStruck!!'

You better send this in.. it's a winner.

I wonder what kind of Royalties AC/DC would want?

[MadMonk]

Ahem....

Come on...gimme my props. The name's off a little, but the concept's the same.

For those who don't want to find it:

I like the Thunderbirds. I can hear the announcer now, as AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" starts playing in the background..."Ladies and gentlemen, here are YOUR Oklahoma City Thunderbirds!"

You could call the Ford Center the "ThunderDome".

And yes it is genius.

[Karried]

oh, sorry Madmonk, I missed that post ..

yep, this has to be our song.

Whoever thought of this for a team named Thunder is spot on... you're both geniuses!

[Intrepid]

My vote is this:
YouTube - AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck - AC/DC

It won't get better than that.

That's exactly the theme song the Game Night host on ESPN radio said would be the most fitting.

[Thunder]

I had a web site >>> ThunderDome <<< ... I didn't renew the domain. *cries* It expired like months ago. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!! It was actually Xtreme ThunderDome. lol xthunderdome.net <<< Isn't with us anymore. *cries*

Back to the theme song for Thunder.

You know how they do funny commercials involving animals. Well, they could have a real-looking Bisons to dance to the Thunder Rolls song on the court. lol

[Intrepid]

I for one hope and pray that "Thunder Rolls" is never played during the games.

It's a great song, but it's about infedility and spousal abuse.

[kevinpate]

> it's about infedility and spousal abuse

While I agree it should not be a theme song, its subject matter actually makes it somewhat fitting (sad, but not without a ring of truth)

Fitting in what sense?

[FFLady]

I Heard Someone On Koco Mention The Thunder Rolls By Garth Brooks.

That was gonna be my choice....but the AC/DC one is brilliant as well!!!

[OKCMallen]

AC/DC was featured on the Varsity Blues motion picture soundtrack a few years back, so the younger crowd (well, my age, 27) is very familiar with it.

Yep. What he said. Not even a snippet.

[westsidesooner]

My vote is this:
YouTube - AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck - AC/DC

It won't get better than that.

My choice all along too. I've probably played that video 20 times recently and it really helps that the vid was shot in a venue that has a stadium effect to it. Awesome!!! My only concern is that in the middle of the song there are a couple of refrences to Texas and I don't know how well that would go over. Possibly a few changes could be made (with ac/dc's approval of course)

And in another thread...(possibly the "we have a name thread") someone said it WONT be used as the theme song. I don't think they ever gave a reason though.
