What would your entrance music and nickname be?

Post by Jeffrey Burgin »

Not sure if this should be here or Off-topic, but I think it's relevant enough to warrant a spot here.

Anyone who has been on the show will possibly agree with me that the walk through the corridor from make-up, out past the audience and to your seat is a slightly odd experience- like a rock star without the rock, a boxer without the boxing or, as I prefer, a bit like a darts player walking out to the oche. The latter of these observations made me wonder if contestants could get the whole darts entrance shebang- nicknames, personalised shirts, music and all. However, whilst this obviously probably won't happen any time soon, if you could have some entrance music and a nickname what would it be?

My music would definitely be the last verse of 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem (I think the song is incredible and the last verse particularly raw and emotional) and as for the nickname, something along the lines of 'The Wildcard' or 'The Joker' or something card-related, 'The Queen' notwithstanding.

Mine would be this, and that's exactly how I'd walk as well.

Not sure what message 'Undiscovered' by James Morrison would send out, but it's the one that comes to mind.

I don't think I'd be able to resist going 'A to Zee with Noah'

Preferably a recording of it by said children or younger. See if you can think of an animal beginning with U or X, and then watch the video to find out how these problems are overcome. :D

My walk on would be the same as my darts walk on which is Kylie Minogue's The Locomotion with me dancing the moves, swinging my hips, jumping up and jumping back as appropriate.

What, no YouTube link...?

I would like the shower-scene music from Psycho and I would be "The Ripper"

My music would be 'Who' by Fahnn and the nickname probably Blackjack. :)

It's not the same dance as Kylie does as I dance to the words specifically but here's the vid:

A recreation of WWE superstar Edge's original entrance. The lights go down and a spotlight goes around the crowd trying to find where I come down with the title song, 'You Think You Know Me' playing. A name like M B Wordmaster. :ugeek:

Very sad to hear of Chas 'n' Dave's break-up. I was going to devote this song to somebody, but it specifically mentions a female in the lyrics, so I'll dedicate it to Carol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOSseI1hao8

I was surprised that they split up. If anything I thought they'd do the opposite - merge, become Chason DuBave and become a dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.

I saw some footage of Chas and Dave on the news tonight, but I didn't have the sound on and assumed that one have them must have died. I'm quite weirdly relieved now that I realise they've just split up, that's nowhere near as bad. People not dying is good. It's slightly depressing that that was my automatic reaction, though.

I saw them at Ian Dury's Tribute gig - which was sad, because he'd died :cry:
