Rockin' the parks iPod tour
 

So as we were joking about back on Sunday, one rather amusing swanking would be the Rockin' iPod tour of the parks. Basic concept is we'd assign songs to attractions, download the playlist to our respective iPods, and take ourselves a little tour.

But before we can actually schedule the event, we'd need to settle on the playlist. So, what say you?

Here's my input:

Rockin' Haunted Mansion - Dead Man's Party (Oingo Boingo)

Rockin' Soarin' - Dani California (RHCP)
it's a small word - Rock Lobster (The B-52's)...just because the thought of all the dolls doing the backup vocals is hilarious.

Selections from my iPod might include:
Rockin' Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Hobo Chang Ba (Captain Beefheart)
Rockin' Mr. Toad's Wild Ride - Manny, Moe & Jack (The Dickies)
Rockin' Storybook Land - Hypnotize (System of a Down)
Rockin' Alice In Wonderland - White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane)
Rockin' Jungle Cruise - The Rhythm of the Heat (Peter Gabriel)
Rockin' Main Street Trolley - Black Napkins (Frank Zappa)
Rockin' Splash Mountain - Possum of the Grotto (Rasputina)
Rockin' Winnie the Pooh - Hurt (Nine Inch Nails)

I was thinking perhaps something by Pink Floyd for Pooh. DOn't know what, but the psychedelic is just crying out for pink floyd

Of course with iPods being a solo experience, we could all develop our own playlists or test out certain attraction/song combos to make for multiple rockin-excursions - or even explore different genres (e.g. Happy Hardcore Fantasyland, or DCA Blues)

... and once we've developed the perfect playlists, Rockin' the parks boombox tour.

BTW, wouldn't have thought of it myself, but I love Manny Moe and Jack on Toad.

Suddenly, I'm really liking this idea ;) but I am so bummed my iPod is dead! :( :( :( I do have my Discman, I guess.

Shooting Star - Bang! for Peter Pan
Elysium - Scott Brown for Soarin' over California

Hmm, this is going to take a lot of thought and trial...

I just re-read this. My sides are literally splitting.

What about the Johnny Cash version of Hurt??

Funny, I was thinking of
Bang Bang by UK Squeeze
for Peter Pan -
