What music would you have playing during competitive games at a party?

Asked by Axarraekji (247points) March 27th, 2012

I am throwing a party for my wife (turning 23). I have 1–3 minute games and competitions and music would add an excellent element to the party. I would turn it on when the competition starts and turn if off when that particular game is over. Kind of like a theme for the party. The music can be something fun, or even funny. Let me know what you would choose! I need your input, thanks.

There is always Queen’s “We Are the Champions.” Tried and true.

All @Kardamom‘s themes made me think of another one: the theme of a radio sports show in the Netherlands that exists since 1967.

There’s only one song you need – Eye of the Tiger . What else could there be?

This will get a laugh.

All of @Kardamom‘s selections are fabulous! I wish I could give you more than one GA!
And one more: how about the song that goes “we will, we will, rock you!” Don’t know the title, though, but I’m sure you’ll know which one I mean.

rebbel's avatar

@2davidc8 The title to that one would be We Will Rock You (by Queen).

Intense classical, if it was my party.

Berry & the Bookbinders “This Song” (is pretty damn short)
