DZ Tunes

[redkiwi 0]

What's the best music to listen to en route to or at the DZ?
My personal favorite at the moment is Andrew W.K. It's the most energetic, pumped up tunes I've found so far... But I'm always looking for new stuff--any suggestions?

me and my mate spent all of last summer charging up the motorway to the DZ singing loudly (if not tunefully) to Iron Maiden, and G'N'R (Lies and Appetite for Destruction)

[drenaline 0]

Metallica and Iron Maiden.

To the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody:
I see a little "Stilletto" on a man
Scaramouch scaramouch, will he jump my "Fandango"?
Not as fast as my "Lightning", but very very frightening me!...
Easy come, easy go, flare it high, dump it low.
Oh no no no, he likes to take it low!
No no no, she scares the DZO! (/DZSO!)
No no no, they will not let it flow!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
Mamma mia mamma mia Let me go!
The DZ pub has a beverage put aside for meeeeeee, for meeeeeeee, for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! [Insert guitar solo here]
I think that's it.....I wasa little toxed...

I listen to a lot of dance music on the way out there, but an old favourite is the Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony". It sounds like a weird choice but my first AFF exit (jump no 32) was put to it, and it just makes me think of that first moment off the door.....aahhhhhh!

I like to listen to something really 'loud' on the way to the dz to get wired. I listen to stuff like Korn, P.O.D., Linkin Park. Maybe some Crytsal Method, Paul Oakenfold etc. The trip home, AFTER all day at the dz is most likely to be something a little more calm as I try to unwind.

High energy? Gwar: Scumdogs of the Universe. Specifically, the song "Maggots".

[AggieDave 6]

Depends on what I've been listening too during the week, it varies wildly. If I really want to get pumped up then I'll throw in some Sepultura.

Close...but here's how I remember it...."I see a little stilleto on a man! Garamooge! Garamooge! Will he jump my fandango! Not as fast as lightning but very very frightning! Hey no wayo! Hey no wayo Hey no wayo DZO! Magnifico! I have a stratocloud...nobody loves me! He's just a poor boy with an old canopy! Sparing his life with that monstrosity! Easy come, easy go, flare it high, dump it low! This will not do! Oh! He likes to smoke it low! Let him go! He likes his openings slow! Let him go! He scares the DZO! They will not let him go! No no no no no! Mama Mia! Mama Mia! Mama Mia let me go! The DZ pub has a beverage put aside for me..for me...for meeeee! (guitar solo)

Depends a lot on my mood.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Staind (Break The Cycle to be exact). I've listened to Slayer, Offspring, Godsmack, KoRn (really been into "Here To Stay" lately), Floyd, Nirvana & Rage a lot as well.

Need to pick up the latest POD CD...

Hey ren, nice bio pic.

Am I the only one that thinks Eyore should be the poster-mule for Prozac?

Great lyrics for the Queen tune, Jasmin!

>Close...but here's how I remember it

I wrote that for the Cock Chorus a few years back. Here it is in its entirety:

--------------------------

Is this the real life?
Or is this Lost Prairie?
Coming to skydive
To escape from reality
Just open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a floater, I need no sympathy
Because I'm leaving high, docking slow
Landing fast, hooking low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me.

Bonnie just chopped my main
Thought she saw something wrong
Pulled that handle now it's gone

Hook turns, I had just begun
But now she's gone and thrown them all away
Bonnie, oohh
I just wanna fly
If you can't find my main this time tomorrow, I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Nothing else matters

Too late, now night has come
and my canopy was black
now I'll never get it back
Goodbye, everybody I've got to go
Got to leave this boogie now and face my job
Bonnie, ooohh
Why'd you pull so high?
Sometimes I wish you'd never even pulled at all

I see a little Stiletto on that man
If you don't have a main you can jump my Fandango
Faster than a Lightning, very very frightning! Eek!
A stiletto
Turbo Z-oh
A stiletto
Turbo Z-oh
A stiletto
Magnifico!

I've got a Stratocloud, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy with a huge canopy
Saving his life with that monstrosity

Easy come, easy go, but will he still pull low?
He will not, no!
(he keeps on pulling low)
He will not, no!
(he keeps on pulling low)
scares the DZO
(keeps on pulling low)
No no no no no
Mamma mia, mamma mia, tell them all I don't pull low

Now John Leblanc has a Sabre put aside for me, for me, for me!

So you think you can tell me how I hafta fly
So you think you can tell me to pull by 2.5
Oh, baby, can't do that to me baby,
just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here

Anything is OK, long as it's ZP
Doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter to me.
(any way the wind blows)

---------------------

Some notes -

This was inspired partly by Bonnie Dutile losing a borrowed canopy right at sunset the night before the Cocks sang. We have yet to be able to sing the song at the Chorus, since we tend to suck at singing.
