+Polgara Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 (edited) Well Groundspeak? Is there an official Geocaching theme song? Could there be? Not that anyone needs a song to trigger them to think about geocaching, like we don't do that enough on our own ... ....how fast can the kids eat that so i can hide a new cache in it (grocery store) ....hmmm, duct tape (hardware store) ....well i came here for shampoo, but this rubbermaid would be perfect (walmart) however, if you're having a bad day, like the day you have to go to the dentist, or the night you choose to do your taxes, and this song came on the radio, it will instantly remind you of caching, and change your mood, (hopefully your last caching experience was pleasent). I vote for: FIve for Fighting's "100 Years". It's track #4 if ya wanna hear it. The song is new, and the video is outdoorsy and it talks all about life and the lives of all different kinds of people.

CoyoteRed Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Well, when we're traveling to a cache I sometimes get reminded of the excellent music from "Twister" as they are chasing them. I suck as music so I can't even hum it decent. Call me wierd, but when jumping boulders I can't help but hum "Indiana Jones" theme music. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 (edited) I didn't think of the Signal the Frog tie in with Signal In The Sky. Good catch Septic. There is also an old favorite of mine by a great 70's punk band called Wire. It's appropriately titled Map Ref. 41°N 93°W And it goes like this...a 1, and a 2 and a 3...hit it boys! An unseen ruler defines with geometry An unrulable expanse of geography An aerial photographer over-exposed To the cartologist's 2D images knows The areas where the water flowed So petrified, the landscape grows Straining eyes try to understand The works, incessantly in hand The carving and paring of the land The quarter square, the graph divides Beneath the rule a country hides Interrupting my train of thought Lines of longitude and latitude Define and refine my altitude The curtain's undrawn Harness fitted, no escape Common and peacefull, duck, flat, lowland Landscape, canal, cannard, water coloured Crystal palaces for floral kings A widespread waving span of wings Witness the sinking of the sun A deep breath of submission has begun Edited March 5, 2004 by briansnat Quote Link to comment

+Imajika Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 (edited) Team Yatta actually has it's own theme song. Here is a little background: Well Yatta! literally means "We did it!" but it's similar in context to someone shouting "Alright!" in english. It's an exclamation of happiness. A song called "Yatta!" was created by a group of guys called "Green Leaves". The song was first performed on a Japanese television show called "Silly Go Lucky". Silly Go Lucky is a sketch comedy show by the same group of guys. So of course one day during a Green Leaves sketch they did "Yatta!" and the rest is history. Their costumes are simple: tighty whitey underwear with a huge leaf attached to the front, sneakers and nothing else. The song and now the group have made it really big in Japan with the song going triple platinum in weeks. Green Leaves has also spawned it's own cartoon series. Here is a photo of the group. Keep in mind they are a comedy troupe so their pictures and videos are supposed to be goofy/funny: And if you're really brave, intrigued or just want to see where Team Yatta got it's name, you can view their funny/weird video here! EVERYBODY SAY YATTA! (Yes, we have this song on cd and we play the Yatta song every Thursday as soon as we hit the road to go caching! We are geeks, but we are having fun!)

+travisl Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 it would be interesting to drop the geoching soundtracks onto a disc and listen to them in the car. it there a legal waty to do that? The legal way would be to go out, buy every CD that the songs are on, rip them to your hard drive, and burn them to a CD. Now you know why nobody does it legally (and why -- big tangent here -- US copyright law has become largely irrelevant and in desparate need of an overhaul, which will never happen). I doubt that Apple's itunes service has all the songs you want. You could, in theory, legally compile the songs off of Kazaa for some type of 'fair use', but you'd better check with your attorney (not me!) before you do. As for me, I balance my desire to share music and my disdain for the current state of copyright law, multiply it by my chance of getting prosecuted for it, and go from there. Back on topic, I've created two geocaching CD's: one set for a few lucky participants in the Victoria Cache Machine (Victori Us, and another set which I called Spinning Wildly: A Collection of Songs to Hunt Caches By. Among the songs on the second CD were the songs mentioned above by U2, REM, Dave Matthews Band, and the Apples In Stereo ("Signal in the Sky" gets my vote for best ever geo-song). It also has ZZ Top's "Doubleback," which is high on my list. The Muppets' "Movin Right Along" is a good candidate, too. Quote Link to comment

+CYBret Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I was listening to some oldies the other day and had a perfectly HORRIBLE realization about one particular song that's semi-geocaching-eque. I don't think anyone's mentioned it in this thread or any of it's previous incarnations. Maybe I'll leave it to you to recall the song: Now the valley cried with anger; mount your horses, draw your sword, and they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward. Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark and red, turned the stone and looked beneath it. "Peace on earth" was all it said. SHUDDER Took: Rock with "peace on earth" written on it. Left: a big bloody mess. On the other hand, I've always liked a semi-obscure song called "Scenic Routes" by a group called "The Lost Dogs" Otto shakes his blinders off, Plows up the common streets The Lost Dogs bark the Nicene Creed And dream of bones to eat Praise eglantines, hot joe and beans, The sea, the desert heat Chorus Yeah, we'll take the scenic routes (And stop and smell the roses) Find out what it's all about (With eyes wide open) (With wide-eyed wonder) (There's nowhere else I'd rather be) (Chase the endless summer) Paint the common things with mystery And renovate our history, When we take the scenic routes The cloud-enfolded Trinity Unpacks the ancient tapestry When we take the scenic routes Otto rides narrangensets On back the westward wind To pecan logs and shopping malls And illustrated men Loves Christ the Lamb, mom, eggs and ham And this tattoo on his skin, says Chorus Pigs in a blanket Nice and hot Wax museums Mystery Spots Great balls of string Neat shrunken heads The Penguin Boy says Chorus Bret Quote Link to comment
