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.

"Yakity Sax." That sound track fits most of my life, why change now?
ReplyDeleteOzzy: "I Don't Wanna Stop"
ReplyDeleteBlue by Yoko Kanno.
ReplyDeleteBut it's a long song, so I'll have to be rocking a C-Mag into my M-14.
Being Olde Skool, Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries" works for me.
ReplyDeleteSurfin' Bird by The Trashmen.
ReplyDeleteShootin' Buddy
No contest...
ReplyDeleteMolly Hatchet -- "Flirtin' with Disaster"
ReplyDeleteNo iPod. At a time like that Holst's "Mars" would be playing in full symphonic quality and detail in my head.
ReplyDeleteAs it is right now.
No question: Slayer's "Raining Blood."
ReplyDeleteClassic of Prog Rock and most appropriate for the occasion:
ReplyDeleteKarn Evil 9 (Impressions 1,2 & 3) from Brain Salad Surgery by Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends...
Jethro Tull - Broadsword
ReplyDeleteGerry
Aqua "Dr Jones" Works for Spinning class, works for zombies
ReplyDeleteBlack Sabbath - Children of the Grave.mp3
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm sure it's either Metallica's "Harvester of Sorrow" or Red 7's "Heartbeat." Or "It's a Dead Man's Party."
ReplyDeleteBut then, I'm weird, so, "Pull Me Under" might start right then too....
VW:clamadee
Why, yes, that would be a clamadee. A zombie apocalypse certainly qualify as a clamadee. But we have guns, we can deal with it.
Mailman by Soungarden
ReplyDelete"I'm a little teapot, short and stout... Here is my handle, here is my spout... When I get all steamed up, hear my shout... Tip me over, and pour me out..."
ReplyDeleteThe Dictators rendition of 'California Sun'.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Jungle or Don't Fear the Reaper.
ReplyDelete"Another One Bites the Dust."
ReplyDeleteNot 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."
"Momma Told Me Not to Come" Three Dog Night.
ReplyDeleteWe. Salute. You.
ReplyDeleteThat 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...
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.
ReplyDeleteEither that or the theme from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show...

ReplyDeletescofflaw
March of Cambreadth.
ReplyDeleteA few more suggestions:
ReplyDeleteJon Bon Jovi, "Blaze of Glory"
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...
--Wes S.
Nazareth - "Hair of the Dog"
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough one. Probably "Suicide Messiah" by Black Label Society, though "Peace Sells" by Megadeth and "Fueled" by Anthrax are both near the top.
ReplyDeleteas it is for Les, it's "Ride of the Valkyries" for me, or it's "Night on Bald Mountain". They both work for this.
ReplyDelete"Seven Deadly Sins" by Flogging Molly.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plfVQV-klZo&feature=relmfu
Best line of the song:
"Pavlov's Dogs keep chewin'

ReplyDeleteKnockin' on Heavens Door by G&R...
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.
ReplyDeleteThis would work.
ReplyDeletePink Floyd, Great Gig in the Sky
ReplyDeleteFor 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.
ReplyDeleteOf course, for optimal zombie nuking, there's always Prism's "Armageddon"....
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.
ReplyDeleteThought 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.
ReplyDeleteMarch of Cambreadth
ReplyDeleteIf it's a last stand to buy time for my family to escape, then Winterborn by Cruxshadows.
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.)
ReplyDeleteBut 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.
"Sway", by Coal Chamber
ReplyDeleteTCM
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. :)
Hmm, excellent question.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Psycho Killer, by Talking Heads
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I
Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
Psycho Killer

Ken's quote of Kipling reminds me that there really isn't all that much difference between zombies and some of the people our guys have to face ("When yer wounded an' left on Afganistan's plains, and the womin come out to cut up what remains....").
ReplyDeleteThe Nuge, Great White Buffalo. The long version.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMZwS0ZonEU
Og-was that an "End of Evangelion" reference?
ReplyDeleteI'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.
If You Want Blood, You Got It
ReplyDeleteOne of two things: either the theme from the original Disney Winnie the Pooh (and Tigger too!) or just maybe No Quarter by Led Zepelin.
ReplyDeleteEither 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.
The intro of Hell's Bells-AC/DC
ReplyDeleteMetallica. "Creeping Death" or "Blitzkrieg." Either would get me good and revved up to go hand-to-hand with the zombies.
ReplyDeleteHey, if you gotta go down, hoss, go down swingin'.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2zrtSm52WI
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.)
ReplyDeleteSince March of Cambreadth has already been taken I would have to go with something a bit older and smoother. Probably Paul Anka's My Way"
ReplyDelete"And now the end is near
So I face the final curtain"
With 50 rounds in my wife's PS90 I could probably hear the whole song.
Ipods are for chumps. My wingman will be playing it live.
ReplyDeletejf
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...."
ReplyDeleteSo many options above. Ride of the Vakyries gave me pause, but probably Johnny Cash God's Gonna Cut You Down

FWIW, I'm surprised no one mentioned the Doors "This is the End"

Last mag getting dumped into a zombie wave attack? I'm gonna go with Smashing Pumpkins - The Everlasting Gaze

When it comes to butt strokes and medieval weapons...
Pantera "Double Primal Concrete Sledge"
Oh, no question: It's "The Thin Red Line" by Kenneth Alford.
ReplyDeleteI have an excellent recording of it, done by the band of H.M. Royal Marines.
As Colin Campbell said to the Original Thin Red Line, "Remember, men, there is no retreat from this place. You must die where you stand!"
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"Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit
ReplyDeleteNice 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.
"Another one bites the dust...".Queen
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is wrong with all of you people? Yer fixing to die, and the end of the world is imminent, and y'all want to go out to (spit!) popular music?
ReplyDeleteAfter thinking again, I think "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner would sing me out quite well.
The sound track to Flash Gordon by Queen. Hell if I could of had anyone right a sound track for my life it would of been them.
ReplyDeleteLike I said before, "Night on Bald Mountain. And I'm Chernabog!
ReplyDeleteLouis Armstrong - "What a wonderful world" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5TwT69i1lU&feature=related

Justthisguy,
ReplyDelete"...y'all want to go out to (spit!) popular music?"
You don't impress me. (spit!) Work on it.
My musical tastes contain yours.
I have more old music than you do, but I don't try and set myself up as some kind of artsy cultural poseur by pretending that The Day The Music Died was 3/26/27.
Maybe this one is too obvious:
ReplyDeletethe 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.
I don't get it, and a google search yields no answers. Who died on 3/26/27?
ReplyDeleteI picked "What a wonderful world" because I like the song and the way Armstrong sings it. I figure if I'm going out, I should go happy.
Or, "Duel of the Fates", from "Star Wars"
ReplyDeleteThis gave me a good laugh, because Pandora kicked "Bodies" up right before I read this!
ReplyDeleteFor me? 7 Nation Army by the White Stripes. 'Cause I'm gonna take 'em all!
Pennywise "Set Me Free"
ReplyDelete"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?"
ReplyDelete...and there was no one remaining so I could go into full Berserker mode?
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:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1StgzVYJNrs
I always seemd to be able to stay on afterburner longer when this was playing.
Iron Man
ReplyDelete"I don't get it, and a google search yields no answers. Who died on 3/26/27?"
ReplyDelete"Inquiring minds want to know."
I'm thinking that Scotland The Brave is awesome music to fight to, but I'd much rather hear the finale to the William Tell Overture... as the Lone Ranger comes riding in to save my butt! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZCdK9dkeOk&feature=fvst

ReplyDeleteDroid - God of Anger.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's pretty raunchy heavy nasty shit, but it might scare the zombie a little bit.
For those of you that are unfamiliar with this song, but watch the TV series "Bones", this is the song that the death metal band was playing when the axe-man spit on Booth's badge and Booth shot their amp stack in the episode "Mayhem on the Cross".
It would have to be SLOW RIDE by FOGHAT! I could really kick some zombie ass to that song and look cool doing it.

Men of Harlech.
ReplyDeleteWith me singing.
Men of Harlech, march to glory,
ReplyDeleteVictory 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!"
Poor Will!
The Beauty, my wife, recommends the following:
ReplyDeleteNine Inch Nails, Heresy or Head Like a Hole.
Ewww, Ken! Up close wet work on zombies with a katana? That's askin' to be infected! At least the lightsabre will cauterize as it slashes.
ReplyDeleteBest to use a .22 rifle with huge amounts of ammo, and MAKE HEAD SHOTS!
The Day the Music Died was when Claude DeBussy published his first piece.
ReplyDeleteI am not posing. I know what I like, and I don't like much music composed in the last hundred or two years.
I do like the old-style C&W, before it got all rockified.
That aside, I mostly can't stand to listen to music which has vocal parts.
Oh, Don M. hast recht! Everybody should listen to Charlotte Church singing that in Welsh. It'll make the hair stand up on the back of your neck!
ReplyDeleteNo one picked Garryowen?
ReplyDeleteFollow Me Up To Carlow - Off Kilter
ReplyDeleteGood for rocking a drum thru the AK, or swinging swords/halberds/chetes.
"Internet Killed the Video Star" by The Limousines.
ReplyDelete(watch the video)
Who'll be the first to hoist a glass, and say that he saw Garry Owen last?
ReplyDeleteYep, Anon @4:56. another good choice for a death song.
P.s. I betcha the Panzerlied would be good to sing while going down in that good fight.
ReplyDeleteI do think it's more important to sing than to listen, in that kind of situation.
P.p.s. Rick Rescorla was last seen alive ascending the stairs in one of the Twin Towers.
ReplyDeleteHe was singing.
He was singing "Men of Harlech", except he changed it to "Men of Cornwall."
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?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5n9vfEumbw
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.

ReplyDelete"We Will Rise" by Arch Enemy
ReplyDelete"Song 2" by Blur
Suffering from choice paralysis, I'll just toss out:
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
. . . 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!
ReplyDeleteBoxStockRacer
"Die M-F'er Die" - Dope or "Nobody's Listening" - Linkin Park.
ReplyDeleteClassic is for quiet contemplation (should I say...omphaloskepsis?), metal is for killin' zombies.
Larry, you need to get into Wagner more. He wrote a lot of music to kill by.
ReplyDeleteok for me, arming up would be crusades by voltaire,
ReplyDeletefor 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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ-G1Fl1sLg&feature=related
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
ReplyDeleteI'm saving Wagner* for when I lead a squadron of souped-up P40s (a la Sky Captain) into action against the alien invaders.
ReplyDelete*Lohengrin, Act III Prelude.
WV: corman. Sure, Corman, why not?
Oh, yeah, Ken, I believe it was on my "Wagner for Band " disc. Played it in high school, too.
ReplyDeleteCrotalus, "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?
"Day of the Eagle" by Robin Trower. That was my wake-up tune in high school; stills pounds my pulse.
ReplyDeleteI thank John Ringo for turning me on to Cruxshadows' "Winterborn." Nothing better.
ReplyDeleteYou can push the play button on the Marine Corps Hymn for me, played as an instrumental by a brass marching band.
