Help needed,

I’m 46 and not truly up to date on good Third down songs. I’ve been asked to DJ our high school games. I know UK uses Metallica, -For Whom the Bell Tolls. You guys have any other cool ideas?

There's a good section of this song at about 2:33 in that might be good for a 3rd and goal or goal line stand

Ignore the hilarious 80s video, but read a couple of the comments that are pretty funny on their own

Here are some other older songs with clips that might be good to get the older crowd going. Don't know how the kids will react...

Maybe before kick off
Opening. Good times- INXS with Jimmy Barnes

When defense comes out on the field
Opening. Cry Little Sister
Or
Opening. Lost In The Shadows- Lou Gramm
Both from Lost Boys movie soundtrack

Just realized these are all from the same soundtrack. Lol.

It’s for Corbin games. I’m sure Stoops and staff will be at all of them due to the twins. I’m gonna push a UK theme and maybe we’ll get lucky and they will be cats instead of wolverines

Nothing like a little Guns N Roses....."Welcome To The Jungle"

Its got this energy to it. I like it as an intro song, or 3rd down song.

Another GnR classic "You Could Be Mine" has an awesome drum/bass intro.

I prefer we use the band more rather than piped-in DJ tunes, but if you're going to go from the tape...."O Fortuna" is pretty ominous...The appropriate portion is at 1:54 into the piece.

If they want to totally copy UK their band could do the unique sounds of Andrew Lloyd Webber at halftime.

My last semester during halftime the announcer went ‘and now a special shout out to the student section!!!!’ And they played ‘welcome to the black parade’ by my chemical romance. That song is ***. It’s even assier when performed by a marching band.

We were all just looking at each other going ‘wtf is this?!’
