They don't get any epic music for the fight.

No no no, they get something Deadpool-esque, like Barbie Girl or Dragostea Din Tei.

And yes, I'm old, sue me. Let's see what the Supreme Court has to say about that.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

I was thinking something very similarly psychotic like "Let it Go" or "The Sound of Music."

"Smack My Bitch Up" by The Prodigy

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 37 points 7 months ago (3 children)

How on earth has nobody said X Gon' Give It To Ya. Maybe people are getting fixated on the Supreme Court part, but I feel like that's the right theme for kicking any ass in a White Castle parking lot.

Amazing. I’d also like to see Painkiller as an encore.

They should be beaten to death without a soundtrack. Nothing should hide the sounds of their comeuppance.

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Either Killing in the Name or The Pretender.

The national anthem on loop. Because they have to hear it all the time and it'll remind them.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 10 points 7 months ago

This is how you remind me

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Killing in the Name is the right answer, I feel.

I’ll throw in the “basic” choice of Fuck tha Police by N.W.A.

[–] Lcacophany@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

Pokemon Theme. The full version. Don't know why but it just feels right.

I Fought the Law - The Clash.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

In that song, the law won. Not the outcome I'd be hoping for.

Rage, Killing in the name

Yakety sax

They don’t get a fight. I give them a wedgie and have them chase me around the parking lot

Let the bodies hit the floor.

It's a great song to beat the fuck out of people to.

The entire sound track of Hotline Miami 1 and 2.

If I had to pick one, Hydrogen by MOON.

Ten guys jump one, what a man
You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your backs when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you've got real balls

You still think swastikas look cool
The real Nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth Reich, you'll be the first to go

 --  *Nazi Punks Fuck Off* by The Dead Kennedys

BANG POW BOOM - Insane Clown Posse

I fight naked with Juggalo Face Paint and a Bottle of Faygo up my ass.

Just like my forefathers did against the Romans 🥲

What's the name of the Benny Hill theme song?

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago
[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

it would depend on mood or reason.

i understand the RATM suggestions. that's sort of an obvious top contender.

Ministry's ass clowns comes to mind. but that's where I started day dreaming and drifted toward their earlier work and thought of scarecrow and then pslam 69 because hehe.

or maybe this is a classier whitecastle parking lot. a light piano like aria de capo ...or maybe it's more ride of the valkries vibe? hmm

last thought. primus. my name is mud. (but call me ellowishus deverdander ambercrombie )

Any. The answer is any. I'll knock the fuck out of a geriatric ignoramus while god damned polka music is in the background. But if I had to choose....Get to the Gone by Static X

"I want candy" by mc Chris?

or maybe something from the coup? like "magic clap" or "takin these" or "everythang" or "ride the fence"...

edit: oh fuck. I forgot "the man" by the killers

double edit: damn, reading the coup track list and I missed "we are the ones" and "5 million ways to kill a ceo"

triple edit: the stimulator put out a series of workout mixes called "burning cop car" that is full of winners in this category

Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin. It's both appropriate for the task and poetic.

[–] MeatsOfRage@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 7 months ago

Orinoco Flow

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Kind of a different feel, but: Fight Song - The Stanfields

Also, Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls and Creeping Death

Finally, the entire first Matrix Original Soundtrack

Edit: Gorillaz - Feel Good is tickling my brain, and there's something about Foster the People's Pumped Up Kicks but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. And: Dope - Die Motherfucker Die

Ministry - Ass Clown

Pretty much any Ministry song will do though

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nobody speak by DJ Shadow.

The music video won't let me fight politicians without playing it.
