Walk on music

#1 Post by eastendboy »

I’ve been watching some snooker on tv and every player has their own walk on music as they do in darts. I was thinking has anyone used music by Chris and Neil. If I had to choose a song it would be paninaro. What song would you choose?

The sound of the cue ball splitting
you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional

Has Neil ever referred to pool, billiards or snooker in his lyrics? Seems rife for metaphorical musings.

Swimming pool: yes (Searching for the face of Jesus, Hey Headmaster, The calm before the storm)
Pool billiards: no

You've read my mind !! I too have been watching the snooker and thought of "walk on" music...

It's A Sin, when the initial synth riff kicks in or Burn would be good. Basically any PSB banger..

How long do you get to walk out? I’ve watched some UFC fights where the walkout lasted longer than the fight!

I think Music for boys and Inner Sanctum worked best at Obscure, but I can also see Casting a shadow or A cloud in a box (sans poem) as contenders. And for a longer walkout where you need to ramp up your fans, you could use The Squadron from Battleship Potemkin. It’s PROVOCATIVE, it GETS THE PEOPLE GOING!

To walk onto what, a snooker or darts tournament?

The Sodom & Gomorrah Show to scare the hell out of them.
