I'm so glad that someone else has thought about this

Phil at Random Nuclear Strikes asks one of life's important questions. If you were about to be overrun by a necrotic tide of shambling zombies...
As you load your last mag into your chosen weapon, what song comes up your MP3 player/IPOD?
It's good to know that others have put serious consideration into this.

For me, it depends... Does the universe go into Zach Snyder-esque synchronized slow-mo as I dual-wield my 1911s into the hordes of the brain-eating undead, à la the apotheosis of Tallahassee in Zombieland? ‘Cause if it does, then it’s “For Those About To Rock”.

Otherwise, it’s “Bodies” by Drowning Pool.

  15. Wow. I'm sure it's either Metallica's "Harvester of Sorrow" or Red 7's "Heartbeat." Or "It's a Dead Man's Party."

    But then, I'm weird, so, "Pull Me Under" might start right then too....

  20. "Another One Bites the Dust."

    Not Queen's best, but was my favorite song when it came out, and it's appropriate for the event.

    Heck, I'm already planning on having it played at my funeral, along with Weird Al's "I'll be mellow when I'm dead."

  22. We. Salute. You.

    That would punctuate nicely.

    I knew I was going like Zombieland when they opened the credits with For Whom the Bell Tolls. Salute your Solution in the end credits is also an MP3 staple. Oh, and Blur's Song 2.

    More of an end-game playlist...

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hmmm. As I slide the last magazine in, "Dragula" by Rob Zombie. As I drop my Para after it's empty and and pull out my two handed mace, "Battery" by Mettalica.

    Either that or the theme from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show...

    Johnny Cash, "When The Man Comes Around."

    Within Temptation, "Stand Your Ground," "Our Solemn Hour."

    ...Really, we need a few more magazines' worth of ammo to get all these tunes in...

    Best line of the song:

    Might as well laugh during the mayhem.

  33. I'd go for "Ride Of The Valkyries" until the ammo ran out, then "Seven Deadly Sins" when I reached for the handle of the claymore and started swinging.

    ReplyDelete
  34. For the last magazine, I'd go with the fight scene music from the ST:TOS episode "Amok Time." When it's time to go cold steel on the undead, I'd be listening to "Spartacus" by Triumvirat.

    Of course, for optimal zombie nuking, there's always Prism's "Armageddon"....

    ReplyDelete
  35. As suggested by "Shaun of the Dead", I'll be listening to Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now." And grinning like an idiot, undoubtedly.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Thought about Pink Floyd's One of These Days, but for that kind of thing, the Anthrax version of Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun.

  37. March of Cambreadth

    If it's a last stand to buy time for my family to escape, then Winterborn by Cruxshadows.

  38. Well, MP3 players play hob with my situational awareness, so I probably wouldn't have one. (I have a cheap one, but I never use it.)

    But if I did, I would -- in that particular circumstance -- have to go with "Men of Harlech," preferably by a full Welsh choir.

    And I'd sing along while I had breath in my body, or until my last grenade (whether it's zombies or xenomorphs, save the last grenade for yourself an' go to your Gawd like a soldier) went off.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I'd have to go with the Crystal Method's "Get Busy Child", but Ministry's "NWO" would do in a pinch.

    Hey, I am an optimist. :)

  45. Hmm, excellent question.

    I suppose I’d want to go out in an ironic, self-referential manner, and since I’ve always been a big fan of juxtaposition, I must choose "Let There Be Peace On Earth." Because really, if I’m going to die, then dammit, I’m going to die smirking at my own cleverness.

    I'd go with "Libre Me (from Hell)" off of the Gurren Lagan soundtrack... and see if I can't work into a "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!!" speech.

    Because if you got to go, you may as well go out on a Crowning Moment of Awesome.

  51. One of two things: either the theme from the original Disney Winnie the Pooh (and Tigger too!) or just maybe No Quarter by Led Zepelin.

    Either would have to be beyond-11 loud, as when the magazine on the firearm runs dry I'll fire up the 460 Magnum. Stihl, not S&W. That tends to be pretty loud, too, and we don't want to drown out that beautiful music. The Stihl runs about an hour on one tank, so that'll do for a while if the soundtrack is on a Muzak-like endless loop.

    WV: quear. No joke.

  58. If it's just running down the last dribs'n'drabs before Götterdämmerung'ing the assorted containers of boomy and flamey, might as well go with GWAR's cover of "School's Out". (If I wasn't behind the nannywall here, I'd find a source to link.)

  61. I'd be preparing for Valhalla with Ride of the Valkyries for sure. But, since there are so many zombies, and a guy might get tired, for a needed boost in heroism, I'd switch next to The Gael (the Celtic theme used in Last of the Mohicans) found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pCv7k_Hzvg . Then---once ammo ran low and things were turning tragic and more fatalistic--I'd go to Over the Hills and Far Away, performed by John Tam (no relation that I know of) for the Richard Sharpe series based on Bernard Cornwell's books. If you can't fight and die to that baleful, soulful, droning fiddle...? "Along the road to come what may...."

  83. Oh, no question: It's "The Thin Red Line" by Kenneth Alford.

    I have an excellent recording of it, done by the band of H.M. Royal Marines.

  84. Well, since I only listen to music as albums these days, and I'm probably not going to get lucky enough to completely finish that one last album, it'd probably be Devin Townsend's "Deconstruction" - second to last track on the album of the same name. It's nearly 10 minutes long, and hopefully, it will encourage me to hold out at least through the second guitar solo.

    ReplyDelete
  85. "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit
    Nice and short....cause I don't think that last mag is going to last long enough for AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock" (Live) or Metallica's "One" to get to the good part.

  92. Maybe this one is too obvious:
    the Verdi Requiem, specifically the opening of the Dies Irae through the Tuba Mirum. It's amazing how easy it is to sound like the Day of Judgment when you have some offstage brass.

  93. I don't get it, and a google search yields no answers. Who died on 3/26/27?

    Hmmm...

    Something with a good 'galleyship' tempo (Muppet music is too slow...). The key word for the type of song would be 'relentless'.

    Plus a pot of coffee. Black.

    This song comes to mind when (back in the day) I was doing alot of running:

    ReplyDelete
  111. Men of Harlech, march to glory,
    Victory is hov'ring o'er ye,
    Bright-eyed freedom stands before ye,
    Hear ye not her call?
    At your sloth she seems to wonder;
    Rend the sluggish bonds asunder,
    Let the war-cry's deaf'ning thunder
    Every foe appall.
    Echoes loudly waking,
    Hill and valley shaking;
    'Till the sound spreads wide around,
    The Saxon's courage breaking;
    Your foes on every side assailing,
    Forward press with heart unfailing,
    'Till invaders learn with quailing,
    Cambria ne'er can yield!

    Thou, who noble Cambria wrongest,
    Know that freedom's cause is strongest,
    Freedom's courage lasts the longest,
    Ending but with death!
    Freedom countless hosts can scatter,
    Freedom stoutest mail can shatter,
    Freedom thickest walls can batter,
    Fate is in her breath.
    See, they now are flying!
    Dead are heap'd with dying!
    Over might hath triumph'd right,
    Our land to foes denying;
    Upon their soil we never sought them,
    Love of conquest hither brought them,
    But this lesson we have taught them,
    "Cambria ne'er can yield!"


    "Fire at will!"

    I do think it's more important to sing than to listen, in that kind of situation.

  121. P.p.s. Rick Rescorla was last seen alive ascending the stairs in one of the Twin Towers.

    He was singing.

    He was singing "Men of Harlech", except he changed it to "Men of Cornwall."

  122. Really? Bodies for the fast one?? What are ya gonna do for those first 10 seconds? Let them gnaw a leg off to make it a more fair fight?

    4-ticks...less than two seconds. Enough time to drop the slide and start hammering. Yeah, its slow after the intro, but I figure Im either dead or trying to E&E after those first 20 or so seconds.

    Either way the song works.

  123. "Ladies and Gentlemen" - Saliva

  124. Alright, time to put effort into my own answers.

    Slow-mo song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyZaqZraWWc&feature=related

    Fast song to go out in a blaze of glory and shattered zombie heads (not entirely work-safe, language at the start): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd972J6f4IY

  125. It looks like I'm a little late to this party. March of Cambreadth, Hells Bells and Pull Me Under already taken... sheesh! I'll take Iron Maiden (Trooper) or Albannach (Gathering of the Clans.)

  126. "We Will Rise" by Arch Enemy

    "Song 2" by Blur

  127. Suffering from choice paralysis, I'll just toss out:

    The finale from Symphony #3 by Camile Saint-Saens.

    That or By-Tor and the Snow Dog, which has a nice instrumental section and dénouement.

    Maybe DeBussy would be sort of an ironic soundtrack -- Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn?

    Speaking of ELP, their rendition of Hoedown could work too.

    WV: Saute -- and here I picture Zombies as more par-boiled.

  128. . . . so my reconsidered play list is the BtVS theme song, followed by the fight music from the last episode of BtVS, finishing up with Duel of the Fates (hat-tip to Crotalus - thanks!), on infinite loop. Not that I'll need the infinite loop - my pretty red scythe gets to stay in the trunk, 'cause I've actually got a lightsaber!

  129. "Die M-F'er Die" - Dope or "Nobody's Listening" - Linkin Park.
    Classic is for quiet contemplation (should I say...omphaloskepsis?), metal is for killin' zombies.

  130. Larry, you need to get into Wagner more. He wrote a lot of music to kill by.

    ReplyDelete
  131. ok for me, arming up would be crusades by voltaire,
    for the relaxed bit where ammo if plentiful Sublime 40oz to freedom and my last stand to a full church choral Funeral mass.

    or the wombles theme tune on repeat, depending on my mood.

  132. Crotalus (Don't Tread on Me)10:23 AM, September 14, 2011

    Yeah, Wagner did write a lot of killing music, but he also wrote the tune that signals the end of bachelorhood: the dreaded Bridal March! :-D

  133. I'm saving Wagner* for when I lead a squadron of souped-up P40s (a la Sky Captain) into action against the alien invaders.

    *Lohengrin, Act III Prelude.

    WV: corman. Sure, Corman, why not?

    ReplyDelete
  134. Oh, yeah, Ken, I believe it was on my "Wagner for Band " disc. Played it in high school, too.

    Crotalus, "Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral" is in the same vein, but even more so. It's a very dangerous piece of music, which might cause an otherwise sensible man to consider marriage. Played it in high school, too.

    WV: peant. Is that smaller than a pissant?

    ReplyDelete
  135. "Day of the Eagle" by Robin Trower. That was my wake-up tune in high school; stills pounds my pulse.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I thank John Ringo for turning me on to Cruxshadows' "Winterborn." Nothing better.

    ReplyDelete
  137. You can push the play button on the Marine Corps Hymn for me, played as an instrumental by a brass marching band.

    29 rounds for zombies, 1 for me.

    I would hope I was knee-deep in warm brass.

  138. As I insert the last mag? Godsmack, I Stand Alone.

    As I finally go down, surrounded by empty brass, broken blades and discarded weapons, dragged down by dozens of zombies? Knockin' on Heaven's Door, the Clapton version.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ItL_N400V4&feature=related

  140. ASM826, I would go with "Semper Fidelis".

  141. OMG!! 153 comments. Is this the record ?

    Flight of the Valkyries works for me too, cause Charlie don't surf.

  142. "OMG!! 153 comments. Is this the record ?"

    No. Now 154 is.

  143. I can't believe no one remembers BLADE - and the best music for killing hordes of vampires! The fast, pounding cadence works great for Zombies, too!

  145. While I am late to the game on this it was a simple question to answer:

    Jimmy Hendrix's Slight Return (aka Voodoo Child) the Long Version.
