Well I finally got started at my job as a counselor for the Future Astronaut Training Program (Space Camp
) at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson Kansas (
www.cosmo.org).
Obviously like any counselor I, at times, will be waking campers up, and I found out that we can use music (which they didnt' use back when I was a camper). So I want to make a cd with a bunch of songs that I could play really loud to get people up with.
So far the songs that I know I want to put on include:
The Star Spangled Banner by Jimi Hendrix (prime for mission day)
Get out of my dreams, get into my car by Billy Ocean
A punk cover of A-Ha's
Take on Me
Sandstorm Darude (it's that ONE techno song that everyone has heard...you'd know if you heard it)
Also probably a techno remix of the Verve's Bittersweet Symphony.
Basically I need several more ideas and the requirements are as follows:
1) Absolutely no swearing...the campers are 6th, 7th, and 8th graders so who knows what's acceptable from camper to camper...I certainly don't want to be the one responsible b/c little Johnny now knows the different forms of the F-word.
2) The more obscure is better. I'd rather not have them be able to sing along later on in the day for the 1000th time hence the number of instrumentals
3) Should be something that's able to be played loud and sound good
4)Should be fairly energetic...I want to get them up not chill them out and put them to sleep (thus none of my favorite Phish songs)
If you know anything that seems like a good idea let me know!
