[QUOTE=Quartz] Vivaldi. The Four Seasons. Just for the incongruity. [/QUOTE] For this very reason I vote either Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, Slim Whitman or Tom Jones. Just imagine, “What’s new pussycat” BOOM “wooo-owoo-owoo” BOOM. ---

For some reason I just visualized a tank spinning the turret around and around while that “You Spin Me Round” song plays. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=muldoonthief] The “wait for supports” advice or the “roll to your rifle” advice? [/QUOTE] Depends upon the situation; if it’s one of those, “it’s bad, and it’s only gonna get worse” situations, #2 may be appropriate. Out of fuel, become a bunker. Out of ammo, become a pillbox. Out of hope, become a hero. ---

[QUOTE=Quartz] Vivaldi. The Four Seasons. Just for the incongruity. [/QUOTE] I was thinking “Walking on Sunshine” for the same reason. ---

In reference to the Firefly/Serenity thread going right now, I think Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” song could be useful as psychological warfare. ---

**Ride the Tiger** from Jefferson Starship **The Star-Spangled Banner** - Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. A live fire fight would just amp up the sound effects a bit. **Smoke on the Water** by Deep Purple ---

😃 [QUOTE=chrisk] I’m sorry - this is one of those occasions where you DON’T mess with the classics. “Ride of the Valkyries” by Richard Wagner. No other alternatives. [U 😃 \*\*in britain the valkyries is the official anthem of the paratroops ,dont think that they`d take too kindly to tankies "borrowing it " lol !] ---

Fatboy Slim’s song _ **Weapon Of Choice** _ and The Chemical Brother’s _ **Hey Boy, Hey Girl** _ seem oddly appropriate too… along with The Prodigy’s _ **Smack My Bitch Up** _ and Armand Van Helden’s song _ **Koochy** _… Coming up next, the Top Ten reasons **Martini Enfield** shouldn’t be allowed to have a modern Armoured Fighting Vehicle! 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/music-for-thundering-along-in-a-tank/373237.md?page=3)
