    I was walking down the road listening to my music - the music was really funky lioke- i started unconsiouly struting, it got me thinking.....

    what kind of music best describes the way you walk/down the road...or if there was a music video of you walking down the road - what music wud you want playing ?

    I pick the remixd version of the blues brothers theme on 2 many djs !

    "Walkabout" by the Chili Peppers, from One Hot Minute.

    Oooh, I have the perfect one. But it's not ACTUALLY the way I walk, just how I think would be cool.
    You know Final Fanatasy 7? The Sephiroth theme, mannn just think how dark that sounds. Imagine taking a step for every beat on the drums to that, wearing a big trench coat and a sword, with henchmen following you behind. Looking down with your eyes staring up at what's in front of you and a big evil grin on you. Mannn that would be sweet.

    Ryan Adams - Answering Bell

    Whenever I'm listening to that and the sun is shining I just get a good vibe and skip all the way to college.....la la la la la.....

    The Haunted - Silencer.

    Violent, very violent indeed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Song to the way I walk, eh?


    Scatman - Scatman John.

    Suffice to say I usually dont get where I intend to go.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,299 ✭✭✭oeNeo


    System of a Down - Aerials, actually. But that's usually because I'm listening to it on my mp3 player, so I don't think that really counts...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    its not suposed to be ur fav song...its suposed to be the song you can walk cool/goofy too etc...

    If you could walk well to that music, I would be scared of you.

    Nobody seems to have suggested the Star Wars Imperial March yet. Either the original John Williams one, or the Rage Against The Machine version, both good.

    Almost anything by Nightwish is also well suited to strutting. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 195 ✭✭evie


    Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl
    Or
    Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar
    Or
    Radiaohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien

    Depending on the mood, type of day, time of day, etc!
    :)

    Haha... nope. Although it would be handy if there was any confrentation with one of the guys down there.

    Another one that makes you Walk funny is...

    Pantera - Walk.

    The amount of Groove in that song is unreal!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,947 ✭✭✭BLITZ_Molloy


    Something out of an old arcade game. I'm thinking Space Harrier or Hang-On.

    Poison - Prodigy, if I'm angry

    Fool's gold - The Stone Roses - if I'm relaxed

    Oh Yeah - Ash - if its warm outside

    Nice pick there s0l, Violent Femmes are class, but isn't it strung out (american slang for being stoned) and not stuck out?

    Clubbed To Death - Rob D
    very cool
    from the matrix ost


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 Joey Ramone


    The Hives' 'Hate To Say I Told You So' is brilliant to walk to. You get places faster when thats on your headphones.

    Also BRMC's album is cool to walk around town to. Makes me feel all moody and 'f**k you!'

    Oh and the ramones of course! :)

    Yeah! For one of those days where everything seems to be going right, sun shining, birds singing, walking through the park with kids playing etc

    The Ramones :- Baby I Love You :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 195 ✭✭evie


    Thought of another one
    The Rolling Stones: Miss you (Dr Dre remix on the Austin Powers 3 OST)
    Very good beat to it, makes you want to strut your stuff, it makes passers by look in amazement!
    :)
