#55 – The Playlist Of Champions!

Bit soppy but fk it. Reminder of the start and the dark days.


Survivor- eye of the tiger
Bon Jovi- Living on a prayer (one for Walter)
simply the best- Tina
return of the mack- Mark Morrison
live it up- mental as anything
We are the champions- Queen
 

Wrecking ball. Released during our travels. Makes we well up every time I hear it. Deep resonance. "take your best shot". Bit like allys speach about taking a kick when we were down. GUESS WHO'S BACK...

"I was raised outta steel
Here in the swamps of Jersey
Some misty years ago
Through the mud and the beer
The blood and the cheers
I’ve seen champions come and go
So if you’ve got the guts mister
Yeah, if you got the balls
If you think it’s your time
Then step to the line
And bring on your wrecking ball

Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
C’mon and take your best shot
Let me see what you got
Bring on your wrecking ball

Now, my home’s here in these meadowlands
Where mosquitoes grow big as airplanes
Here where the blood is spilled
The arena’s filled and giants played their games

So raise up your glasses
And let me hear your voices call
’Cause tonight all the dead are here
So bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
C’mon and take your best shot
Let me see what you got
Bring on your wrecking ball

Yeah, we know that come tomorrow
None of this will be here
So hold tight to your anger
Hold tight to your anger
Hold tight to your anger
And don’t fall to your fears

Now, when all this steel and these stories
Drift away to rust
And all our youth and beauty
Has been given to the dust
When the game has been decided
And we're burnin’ down the clock
And all our little victories and glories
Have turned into parking lots
When your best hopes and desires
Are scattered to the wind
And hard times come and hard times go and
Hard times come and hard times go and
Hard times come and hard times go and
Hard times come and hard times go and
Hard times come and hard times go
Yeah, just to come again
Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
C’mon and take your best shot
Let me see what you got
Bring on your wrecking ball

Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
C’mon and take your best shot
Let me see what you got
Bring on your wrecking ball"
There was an excellent YouTube video that has long been deleted that had a live version of this and clips of Rangers pre-admin. Was released during 2012. Got me every time.
 
Getting my Spotify playlist ready for when Tav raises that big cup above his head and the league flag is finally home. Obvious ones to start with but need some more.

I already have a playlist of our more cultural and football related songs so I’m thinking more mainstream music.

Tina Turner - Simply The Best
Queen - We Are The Champions
The Drifters - Come On Over To My Place
Roy Orbison -Penny Arcade
Stone Roses - This Is The One
Mental As Anything - Live It Up (duly edited)

What am I missing? Cheers.

Let's go The Ramones blitzer peg bop
 
Something about Van Morrison-Bright Side of the Road has always had me thinking I’ll have it on the day we win it.

Don’t know if it’s because it’s a happy song, the lyrics or the scenes of joy in Fever Pitch.
For me it just works

 
Sam Cooke - A change is Gonna Come
King - The taste of your Tears
Shakespears Sister - Your History
