Day 18 - Entrance Music
Professional wrestlers Batista, El Perro Aguayo & Toots Mondt were all born on this day (1969, 1946 and 1894 respectively). Play the song you would use for entrance music if you were a pro wrestler.

The impending doom guitar of Tony Iommi. Geezer and Bill rumbling down below. Bomb raid sirens. Don't need Ozzy. Just need that first 50 seconds on a loop. I'm comin' to destroy...




Black Sabbath - Paranoid

This is the first LP I ever bought way back in 1973. As in this is that actual record.

Either “Countin’ Up” or “Rage” would make for great entrance songs!

Listening to Countin Up has been the only thing getting me through work the past few days!

Day 19 - Iconic Women

Took my cue from @Yer Ol' Uncle D's birthday history lesson today, so I was already playing this when I saw today's prompt. Took way too long to get this in the collection, but @Kris fixed my mistake with this amazing pif.

Day 18

Bring it

Standing on the top rope, “ARE YOU READY FOR THE COUNTRY?” Crowd roars. “BECAUSE IT’S TIME TO GO!”

Signature move takes out the opponent.

Day 18 - Entrance Music
Play the song you would use for entrance music if you were a pro wrestler.


I watched wrestling (WWF) back when I was a kid...then grew out of it. In college, my roommate watched WCW and I got back into it for a year or so, but I really haven't watched it all that much in the last 20 years or so.


I know the former White Sox player Paul Konerko used this as his walk-up song, but I think it works for any sporting event intro.

I love how Jenny has grown as an artist over the years, especially her post-Rilo Kiley work. Honesty, Maturity, Self-Awareness, and a healthy sense of humor flow through her albums.

Judy Garland - Judy at Carnegie Hall

Judy Garland is obviously a legend. She was everything from a movie star, vocalists, political activist and gay icon! She is also the first female performer to win the Grammy for AOTY with this album
