Walk-in music

[LoveDaisy]

I am presenting an idea at my company’s shark tank event. They will be playing walk-in music for me. I feel like picking this was harder than coming up with my idea and pitch because I like a lot of songs. What would you pick for your pump up the crowd walk in song?

Can you give an example of a song you feel comfortable considering for the event? How OTT is appropriate in the situation?

ETA: Some possible contenders: Can't Stop Me Now by Queen , Let's Go by Calvin Harris, Jump Around by House of Pain,

Mr. Brightside by the Killers, Thunderstruck by ACDC

What are you pitching?

It might be easier to come up with an idea if we knew what type of pitch you are making.

my idea is around using AI for knowledge management (we are a research organization)

The first thing that came to mind was the kill bill theme and then tweezer reprise by phish. It will be 30 seconds and I prefer music to lyrics but want something to pump up the crowd (there is a crowd vote category.).

 

[WEDWDW]

2001 Space Odyssey theme.

It worked pretty well for Elvis.

Both ideas are great. I can see the pros for either one being a solid pick.

Not sure that's the best choice given it's an AI centered presentation.



I like the Tweezer reprise idea, personally.

Have you thought about asking Chat GPT for ideas? What would be better than asking AI for help ?

I tried it it was mostly things you would use for a wedding.

Personally-I would pick Jump Around! Do a little research on how it started a tradition at UW-Madison football games! As you would be talking to the sharks…perhaps you can weave in why you chose that song into your presentation! Do just a wee bit of googling, or click on the link below!

Bummer

I would go with something completely unexpected of what people would think I'd pick and walk out to some gangster rap.
Fight style. Notorious Big, Tupac...

If anything, it reminds me of how baseball and softball players use walk up songs to get them pumped up before hitting. Since AI is tied into the computer science realm, Thomas Dolby's She Blinded Me with Science is the first thing that came to mind for me. The Electric Slide also keeps popping into my mind. Stereo MC's Connected or Elevate My Mind might even have some segments that could work. Pump up the Volume by Mars or I've Got the Power by Snap! are also possibilities. I'm sure I could come up with more possibilities if I sat here long enough. Just not sure if any of it is the angle you're really seeking.

If there is a clean version of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem

 

[prairie_girl]

lol since it’s about AI maybe the song Somebody’s watching me by Rockwell would be appropriate

My two cents- the lyrics to Jump Around aren’t really appropriate for the type of event you’re describing.. this makes me feel like 100 LOL

 

[LoveDaisy]

thanks for all the suggestions. I’m looking for music only no lyrics. The AI is a small part it’s really about knowledge management.

My preference is the Hallelujah Chorus. It always gets attention when I walk into a Wendy's
