Official THR song?

[Drizzt]

Hemi -

Don't Fear the Reaper is cool and all.... but I can't listen to it now without thinking of that Saturday Night Live sketch with Christopher Walken... "Needs more cowbell!"

 

[Abominable No-Man]

jrhines, the last I heard was that SG started recording their new record last month. Haven't heard too much since then, I understand one of the band members (the drummer, I think.......might be wrong about that) had some kind of family emergency, so they were delayed.

Not too many people I know have heard of them. They are pretty good, I've only been listening to them for about a year. I love "Dance of the Fools"- good tune.

I think Stuck Mojo broke up a few years ago. They were pretty good, too,
but probably weren't for everyone- pretty hard.

Have you ever listened to Bolt Thrower? If you like Stuck Mojo, you'll probably dig them, too:

"For Victory"

"As daylight returns
The fires of hope still burn
Crawl through darkened light
Sickened by the mournful sight
tears fall from eyes
not sure what has been done
Sorrow creeps throughout my soul
All is lost, none have won

The battle smoke remains
begin to feel the pain
Alone now stagger on
Unsure how it begun
Through time war prevails
Thoughts, fears cast aside
Face the consequences alone
With honour-valour-pride

As fire fills the sky
We once believedd in life
Now time to die
...for Victory

Now in deaths glory
Man's final destiny
The final price to pay
....for Victory

"They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We shall remember them

We shall remember them"

‘Ballad of The High Road Way’
To the tune of ‘Ballad of the Green Berets’

V1: Posting shooters on the Net, fearless posters who’s flames I get
Folks who mean just what they say, the strange folks of The High Road way.
Refrain: Lots of thoughts to get off their chest, these are folks among the best,
One hundred folks post to my thread, but only three get what I said.
V2: Newbie posters I’ll gladly stand, I want to kick trolls in the gland
Folks who post all night and day, new threads on The High Road way.
Refrain: Lots of thoughts to get off their chest, these are folks among the best,
One hundred folks post to my thread, but only three get what I said.
V3: Out in the yard, a ticked spouse waits; Our High Roader has a date with fate, “Just one more post to the High Road folk; One just to thank Oleg Volkâ€
Refrain: Lots of thoughts to get off their chest, these are folks among the best,
One hundred folks post to my thread, but only three get what I said.

With apologies to SSG Barry Sadler!

Sorry to do this to you all ....

The Grateful Dead, "Stagger Lee"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1940 Xmas evening with a full moon over town
Staggerlee met Billy DeLyon
and he blew that poor boy down
Do you know what he shot him for?
What do you make of that?
'Cause Billy DeLyon threw lucky dice,
won Staggelee's Stetson hat

Baio, Baio, tell me how can this be?
You arrest the girls for turning tricks
but you're scared of Staggerlee
Staggerlee is a madman and he shot my Billy dead
Baio you go get him or give the job to me

Delia DeLyon, dear sweet Delia-D
How the hell can I arrest him when he's twice as big as me?
Don't ask me to go downtown - I wouldn't come back alive
Not only is that mother big but he packs a .45

Baio Delia said just give me a gun
He shot my Billy dead now I'm gonna see him hung
She waded to DeLyon's Club through Billy DeLyon's blood
Stepped up to Staggerlee at the bar
Said Buy me a gin fizz, love

As Staggerlee lit a cigarette she shot him in the balls
Blew the smoke off her revolver, had him dragged to city hall
Baio, Baio, see you hang him high
He shot my Billy dead and now he's got to die

Delia went a walking down on Singapore Street
A three-piece band on the corner played "Nearer, My God, to Thee"
but Delia whistled a different tune...what tune could it be?

The song that woman sung was Look out Staggerlee
The song that Delia sung was Look out Staggerlee
The song that woman sung was Look out Staggerlee
The song that Delia sung was Look out Staggerlee

or .....

From Marty Robbins, although I know it also from The Dead ...one of the most underated cowboy bands ever ...

EL PASO
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican
girl.
Nighttime would fine me in Rose's Cantina,
Music would play and Felina would whirl.

Black as the night were the eyes of Felina,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was strong for this Mexican maiden,
I was in love, but in vain I could tell.

One night a wild young cowboy came in, wild as the West Texas wind...
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing,
With wicked Felina, the girl that I love.

So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden;
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.

Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done.
Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there;
I had but one chance and that was to run.

Out through the back door of Rose's I ran, out where the horses were
tied...
I picked a good one; he looked like he could run,
Up on his back and away I did ride.

Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso,
Out thru the badlands of New Mexico.
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless;
Everything's gone in life nothing is left.

But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden,
My love is stronger that my fear of death.
I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark...
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me,
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart.

And as last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso,
I can see Rose's Cantina below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward, down off the hill to Felina
I go.

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys,
Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me,
I've got to make it to Rose's back door.

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel a deep burning pain in my side ...
It's getting harder to stay in the saddle.
I'm getting weary, unable to ride.

But my love for felina is strong and I rise where I’ve fallen;
Though I am weary, I can’t stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle,
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

From out of nowhere, felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I’ll die for,
One little kiss and felina good-bye.

Anybody mention the theme song from "Combat!" ?

 

[ShaiVong]

All very good suggestions, but...

You've forgotten the true masters: Bolt Thrower. These guys invented War Metal!

But I think that this is the best clip for THR. I strongly suggest you give it a listen. Its from a the Drop Kick Murphys CD titled The Gangs All Here:

http://www.umit.maine.edu/~justin.rose/fearnothing.mp3
Rally together, gather around;
the scent of a battle draws near!

The cannon sounds, a new year begins;
fear nothing now the GANGS ALL HERE!

^A great tune to blast in the car.

Suspect Hostile
From their "Honor, Valor, Pride" CD

Through the ages
As tensions rise
All hostile and unknown
Witnessing demise

When lives are worthless
Under friendly fire
Suspected hostile
Target acquired

Attained tac - recon - regain misuse
Spying eyes - reap the truth
Evolution proficiency
Air track engagement futility
Visual angle - 12 rad of ark
Filling scores - symbols coming dark

No defiance - gather in all prey
Track rapid fire - impact point displayed
Hostile target verified
Positiob traced - you cannot hide
Mass destruct - initiate the cause
Range within low flight - acquisition within war

All tributaries - ballistics in disruption
Confirmed kills integrity - N.C.T.R. corruption
Escape is to evade

Rancor empowers
It’s creation sets the trap
In vertical dimensions
New lightning wars to which man will
Bridge the gap





No Guts, No glory
From Mercenary CD.

All senses
Under attack
Oblivion
Penultimate
Anticipation
Fills your soul
At the limit
Beyond control

The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory

Retaliation
Sequencially inclined
No guts, no glory
You decide

The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory

Swallow no pride, strength from inside
Still driving on, second to none

The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory

The last advance
One final chance
It now shall be... no guts, no glory


For Victory
From the For Victory CD

As daylight returns
The fires of hope still burn
Crawl through darkened light
Sickened by the mournful sight
Tears fall from eyes
Not sure what has been done
Sorrow creeps throughout my soul
All is lost, none have won

The battle smoke remains
Begin to feel the pain
Alone now stagger on
Unsure how it begun
Through time war previals
Thoughts fears cast aside
Face the consequence alone
With honour - valour - pride

As fire fills the sky
We once believed in life
Now time to die
...For Victory

Now in deaths glory
Mans final destiny
The final price to pay
...For Victory

"They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condem.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them."
"We will remember them"

No Holds Barred - Sir Mixalot

I am not one for rap, but this one has a message I can actually relate to.

If yur' gonna post it, give em' a link to the lyrics. Best theme song if I'd ever heard it....



"The police, urge people, to keep their guns locked up and unloaded"
"Congress today, seems on the verge of approving gun control"

[Verse One: Sir Mix-A-Lot]
It's, time to fight back cause the new jack black macks
ain't did ???? about that, whack, jackin
And I'm packin
Cause I'm down for the bank I'm stackin
And in a straight up brawl I'll mall alla y'all
Ya try to crawl for Tylenol and I install
big fists in your face, the blow is well placed
Spray 'em with mace in case mace is his taste
Throw up the dogs, the competition is fogged
Cause he was smokin the yang, iced and drink the 8-ball
Drunk, stumblin, threw him with the lean
I sweep him, then attack the spleen
Play the congas on his backbone
He's funk baritone until I twisted his dome
Creep up on my house and try to roll me up?
And got STUCK IN THE GUT with a black, glock
And he starts to wobble
Self-defense is what I'm claimin, let's squabble
I pick up a pipe to take plenty of quick swipes
One grazed his dome and sliced his eye whites
I don't give a DAMN bout a stupid ass burgular
It's all circular
The dope dealer sells dope to the dope smoker
The smoker breaks in and tries to choke ya
But I ain't the one to run from ya son
This is MY HOUSE, and it's FULLA GUNS!
I'm down for mine and my choke is nice and hard
When you jack the boss there ain't no holds barred!

No holds barred
No holds barred
No holds barred

[Verse Two: Sir Mix-A-Lot]
I'm crushin most hoods like Katie-dids(?)
I'm pleadin guilty for the damage I did
This ain't about random violence
The (?) crept into my house, ???? SILENCE
Now most punks wanna run for the stun gun
???? a stun gun, I got the big one
Forty-four mag, automatic, CHROME
Mercury-tipped bullets, melt the dome
It's the 1990's, and crack is
talkin to the criminals, ever so subliminal
Some crackhead wants Mix-A-Lot dead
A jack move instead, another fool bled

I can't cry cause my tears are nearly froze
My interior's cold, it posess my soul
I'm on the paranoid tip
And each of my socks got a clip!
When my house got robbed, a top notch job
Cops laughed while my mom just sobbed
9-1-1 only works for the rich ones
So I collect GUNS!
So step right through if you're down for the wrong move
Most crews are moved by my twelve gauge BOOM!
How can I love when I gotta
protect my neck from a punk suspect?
Gun control - I ain't wit it
They banned the AK and any fool can STILL get it
The innocent have been beaten, bruised and scarred
But for this citizen, there ain't no holds barred

"It is an absolute infringement on my second amendment rights"
No holds barred
"When is this attack on gun owners going to end?"
No holds barred
"Education, versus restriction"

[Verse Three: Sir Mix-A-Lot]
Hypothetical situation
Gun control starts sweepin the nation
Now you got a bunch of unarmed innocent victims
Gettin ????ED by the system
Sittin at home with a butter knife, huh
Any fool could rape your wife
So what's up when the criminals can't be stopped?
The only one with guns are the COPS
But it's hard for a brother to trust police
Huh, so the ???? don't cease
So I go downtown to buy a hot gun
I hated criminals, and now I'm one
Because I bought a gat to protect my house
The cops wanna bust me out?
So it's illegal to protect yourself?
Hell, you either get killed, or you in jail
So when you vote
You better think about what I just wrote
And ???? writin a note to yo' Congressman!
You got the fool hired
Now help get the fool fired
A scary scenario
And I put it in your stereo
So when a fool tries to run up on my car
R.I.P., no holds barred

No holds barred

No holds barred

"They take aim, at the law abiding citizen, instead of the criminal"
