Tandem Songs

Recommended Posts

I need some help here people...

The songs we offer at our DZ for the tandems to pick from are good skydiving songs, but they are all OLD!!!

We have lots of Tom Petty and Aerosmith, and of course 3 Doors Down. The problem is that the last time there were any updates was probably a few years ago.

Can you guys give me some ideas??

I'm already thinking "It's Raining Men" will be one of them. ;)
Life is too short. Don't sweat the small stuff.

"Space Walk" by Lemon Jelly. Starts off real chill, just a guy talking about a space walk, perfect for the "gearing up" parts of tandem vids, then he steps outside and it jams out. "That's beautiful, beautiful. Just beautiful. That's tremendous. Zero G's and I feel fine."

"God Put a Smile On Your Face" by Coldplay.

I'll keep thinking...
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams

From waaaaayyy back in 1987, The Cars had a song on their last album titled 'Strap Me in'. Seems appropriate B|

Of course, you seem to be looking for newer stuff....hmmmm

How about 'Falling Away From Me' by Korn - not that that's what a tandem master wants to see from his passenger :ph34r:

Let me think....

How about "Fall Down" by Toad the Wet Sprocket? It's not about skydiving but the words can seem relevant, or even ironic to a whuffo.

***She said "I'm fine, I'm okay"
Cover up your trembling hands
There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left
When the good times never stay
And the cheap thrills always seem to fade away
When will we fall
When will we fall down

Jump back, gotta get out of here
Been too, too long this time
Jump back, gotta get out of here
When will, when will we fall down

She hates her life, she hates her skin
She even hates her friends
Tries to hold on to all the reputations she can't mend
And there's some chance we could fail
But the last time, someone's always there for bail
When will we fall
When will we fall down

Jump back, gotta get out of here
Been too, too long this time
Jump back, gotta get out of here
When will, when will we fall down
When will we, when will we fall down
When will we fall

She said "I'm fine, I'm okay"
Cover up your trembling hands
There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left
For the last time conscience calls
For a good friend, I was never there at all
When will we fall
When will we fall down

Jump back, gotta get out of here
Been too, too long this time
Jump back, gotta get out of here
When will, when will we fall down
When will we, when will we fall down
When will we fall

Never did a tandem. But when I did my AFF, they never asked me about music for the videos. They didn't use any actual song on my videos, they just used this lame, canned rock-guitar rift, which they probably bought from some commercial soundtrack company or something.:P

But if I had my choice I would use One of These Days by Pink Floyd.

Ya know, the fact that they probably bought the guitar riff makes me wonder about the copyrights on videos. Is it legal? Have we discussed this before and I should search? Not trying to stir the pot, but I am curious.....
