Music on Only A Game - 6/27/2009

June 26, 2009

Arts and Sports (from American Journey suite) by John Williams from American Journey, the Official Music of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games

Gary's take: Here they are again, my peeps at tha MTC (that’s Mormon Tabernacle Choir for folks who aren’t hip-hop…like me). AMERICA’S CHOIR!!!

Hansel and Pretzel by Henri Rene and His Orchestra

Gary's take: When in doubt, go kitschy. I doubted, so we kitsched.

Anthem (Ale, Ale, Ale) by the Crowd from Soccer Rocks the Globe, World Cup USA ’94

Gary's take: If Soccer is really “The Global Game”, why does it sound like every soccer anthem was recorded in some guy’s basement in Youngstown, Ohio?

Under the Boardwalk by The Drifters from Atlantic/Rhino Definitive Soul Collection

The Good Old Dallas Cowboys by Waylon Jennings and Troy Aikman from NFL Country, 1996

Gary's take: Charlie opined that, should members of the Dallas Cowboys make music, it would certainly be heavy metal. Here’s my musical rebuttal.

Cold and Wet by Ween from God Ween Satan

Gary's take: Sorry. Ween just seemed to work following a story about a bunch of folks in Nebraska who paddle around pools in kayaks.
