I need your help with some cheesetastic basketball warm-up tunes

[impy13]

It's intramural basketball season at the University of Texas once again, and as IM captain for my spirit organization, I plan on implementing warm up music into our games. I have a speaker system and my iPod all ready to go, now all I need is some tunes.

The playlist so far includes:

Europe - The Final Countdown
Queen - Flash
David Hasselhoff - Looking for Freedom


What other songs should I use to rile up my squadron, gang? Synthesizers are a plus. Anything Powerjuice related is also acceptable.

 

[No spoken words]

You've Got the Touch - Stan Bush.

 

[phillyfan26]

Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers
I'm Afraid of Americans - David Bowie (synthesizers!)
Somewhere in the Between - Streetlight Manifesto

 

[No spoken words]

You want Bowie associated with "Cheesetastic", THE AMENDMENT???

That's pretty far out.

 

[No spoken words]

Space Age Love Song - A Flock of Seagulls

 

[DaveC]

Elevation.

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm Afraid of Americans is pretty cheesetastic.

(It's 1997 David Bowie - I can live with that accusation.)

Streetlight isn't cheesetastic, actually, I just love that song.

 

[Screwtape2]

Simple.

Utopia Theme by Utopia
Acrobat by U2
Zoo Station (live) by U2
Leave It Open by Kate Bush
The Kiss by The Cure

In that order.

The Final Countdown was the first song I thought of

How about Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'"? I always find that kind of inspirational and cheesy.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

That Cake song "The Distance" seems like it might be a good one.

 

[redhotswami]

how about that one song that you always here at basketball games that goes "da da da na na nana nuh na YEAH!"

 

[No spoken words]

how about that one song that you always here at basketball games that goes "da da da na na nana nuh na YEAH!"

The one by the under age sex fan, Gary Glitter

 

[phillyfan26]

"Rock n Roll Part 2" - Gary Glitter

"Centerfield" - Who Gives a Shit

Oh, wait, check that last one, this isn't baseball.

(I refuse to play it when I am in charge of baseball music. I refuse.)

 

[redhotswami]

The one by the under age sex fan, Gary Glitter

ah, yes that's a good one. but i'm thinking of something else. it goes "da da da na na nana nuh na YEAH!"

 

[phillyfan26]

"Kernkraft 400" - Zombie Nation

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

sister christian - night ranger

 

[namkcuR]

Get Ready For This(Orchestral Mix) - 2 Unlimited
(Even if you don't recognize the title, you've heard it a million times)

Sirus - Alan Parson's Project

Rocky Theme

I Wanna Be Like Mike

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

how about that one song that you always here at basketball games that goes "da da da na na nana nuh na YEAH!"

Onomatopoeia.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm Afraid of Americans - David Bowie (synthesizers!)

Fashion is way more cheesy.

 

[LMP]

You've Got the Touch - Stan Bush.

Winner.

Well played.

Now we just need Lil Bow Wow's Basketball rap and this will all come full circle.

 

[redhotswami]

make 'em say UNNNGH

 

[Canadiens1131]

Fashion is way more cheesy.

Out of the two, at least Fashion has a good guitar riff and is generally listenable. Beep beep.

 

[impy13]

Thanks for the recommendations gang, I'll be implementing many of them.

The winner of the thread, though, is LemmyMelly for the entirely pertinent reference to Aaron Carter's "How I Beat Shaq." It will most definitely be implemented.

As will the majority of the Space Jam soundtrack.

 

[redhotswami]

As will the majority of the Space Jam soundtrack.

AH! That's what it was called. Hahaha I couldn't remember the name of that movie.

 

[phillyfan26]

As will the majority of the Space Jam soundtrack.

Well done.

I'm not even kidding you when I say I knew this was coming before I even clicked the link.

I was so in love with Aaron Carter when I was 12. He was so adorable!
