Any of you remember the old disco days' song: I'll see if I can bring it up and post it later!

It's Raining Men--Weather Girls aka: Two Tons of Fun!!

That would raise the roof off the Ford Center!

Haha! The women would love that one. I think that should be the song playing when the team runs in at the start of the game. Of course, I suspect they and the owners might disagree with me.

We need to find a cool song to play after a win, like the yankees playing new york, new york, and the red sox playing dirty water. I think after the Hornets won here, they played that "Hey" generic song.

I agree with you Nixon. The Kinks did a song call Oklahoma U.S.A., but it is too mellow.

I can't any good thunder songs. Thunder Kiss '65 by White Zombie was the most up tempo song I could find, but it doesn't even mention Thunder in the chorus.

We will definitely need something that the crowd can stomp their feet and clap too! :congrats:

' And the Thunder Rolls... and the Lightening Strikes'..

omg.. that is so it!!!!!!! Fantastic find....

That is our theme when we win..

'You've Been Thunder Struck' this is it, no question.

You're a genious.

I'd like to hear the crowd chant that sound thats in the begining when we're on defense. Blocked shot or steal then in unison the ford center yells "THUN-DER!!"

Karried
07-20-2008, 05:20 PM
and then when we win.. ' You've Been ThunderStruck!!'

You better send this in.. it's a winner.

I wonder what kind of Royalties AC/DC would want?

Come on...gimme my props. The name's off a little, but the concept's the same. :D

For those who don't want to find it:

I like the Thunderbirds. I can hear the announcer now, as AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" starts playing in the background..."Ladies and gentlemen, here are YOUR Oklahoma City Thunderbirds!"

You could call the Ford Center the "ThunderDome".

And yes it is genius. ;)

Karried
07-20-2008, 08:45 PM
oh, sorry Madmonk, I missed that post ..

yep, this has to be our song.

Whoever thought of this for a team named Thunder is spot on... you're both geniuses!

That's exactly the theme song the Game Night host on ESPN radio said would be the most fitting.

I had a web site >>> ThunderDome <<< ... I didn't renew the domain. *cries* It expired like months ago. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!! It was actually Xtreme ThunderDome. lol xthunderdome.net <<< Isn't with us anymore. *cries*

Back to the theme song for Thunder.

You know how they do funny commercials involving animals. Well, they could have a real-looking Bisons to dance to the Thunder Rolls song on the court. lol

I for one hope and pray that "Thunder Rolls" is never played during the games.

It's a great song, but it's about infedility and spousal abuse.

> it's about infedility and spousal abuse

While I agree it should not be a theme song, its subject matter actually makes it somewhat fitting (sad, but not without a ring of truth)

Fitting in what sense?

That was gonna be my choice....but the AC/DC one is brilliant as well!!! :)

AC/DC was featured on the Varsity Blues motion picture soundtrack a few years back, so the younger crowd (well, my age, 27) is very familiar with it.

Thunderstruck - AC/DC

It won't get better than that.

My choice all along too. I've probably played that video 20 times recently and it really helps that the vid was shot in a venue that has a stadium effect to it. Awesome!!! My only concern is that in the middle of the song there are a couple of refrences to Texas :ohno: and I don't know how well that would go over. Possibly a few changes could be made (with ac/dc's approval of course)

And in another thread...(possibly the "we have a name thread") someone said it WONT be used as the theme song. I don't think they ever gave a reason though.

Since Garth is originally from Oklahoma, Thunder Rolls will probably be the new theme song for the team. OMG. Lord, help us.

That's exactly what we need to represent our new NBA team: a song about adultry and spousal abuse.

I like the song. It's just the wrong choice (if chosen/played) for the team.

Plus, Garth being in town isn't that big of news....he lives near Tulsa.

Thunder

I didn't know he lives in the state.

It was meant to be a tease to those hoping his song is not chosen.

This was also the first song that I thought of when I first heard the name I hope they go with it!

Apparently, ESPN is a big fan of "Thunderstruck." It's all over their college football broadcasts today.

Stop the madness! That was funny--I'm sure there was no pun(s) intended. I like your sense of humor!
