Walk-Out Music

For a bit of fun.

You've just become a professional fighter.

What's your walk-out music?

Mine's either Also Sprach Zarathustra (to be classy) or Fatboy Slim's Right Here, Right Now (for intimidation, whilst gesticulating towards the centre of the ring)

Probably some Merzbow - Japanese noise music, would be far more jarring/intimidating than anything I've ever seen used;) Barring that if I wanted be nice, maybe some old punk, Black Flag for instance.

A little on the nose, but “Warriors Code” by The Dropkick Murphys (about boxer “Irish” Micky Ward) would be one I’d consider. https://youtu.be/PPC0kTWaE7I

Hmm.  I'd say "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira.  Look at the title . . . it's just good advice for combat sports. 

Plus, it's do or die after that.  It's the musical equivalent of burning the boats.  After you walk out to Shakira, you have no choice but to win.

Surely it's got to be Chumbawamba- Tubthumping ;-)

Or the classic - Eye of The Tiger

Personally I'd like a bit of Rage Against The Machine, maybe Wake Up

Brilliant! Reminds me of Homer’s walkout music in the clip:
