Just anything punk actually

Answer 3

Depending on your genre. For example...

Punk: Blitzkrieg Bop, Sheena is a Punk Rocker, Holidays in the Sun

Classic Rock: Walk This Way, We are the Champions, Sweet Child O Mine

Metal: Enter Sandman, Black Dog





I think the best song to go with is probably Blitzkrieg Bop but thats just my opinion.

Sorry if I complicated things but you should know what genre you want to be before you start. Good luck.

The Life - Decyfer Down

Blood and Thunder - Mastadon

Answer 6

Smells Like Teen Spirit. Enough said.

Answer 7

the alternative, like the translation of the lyrics and song must be uniquely yours, and yours on my own. How some heavy metallic/head banger/goth/techno version of "The Teddy Bears Picnic"? Throw in a guitar vamp from "Smoke on the Water" (or "Mule") and you have gotten something reliable. of direction on the video i might anticipate you to be juggling 3 chain saws and a gold-fish bowl on a similar time as using on a unicycle, in direction of a stampede of untamed kangaroos. (i'm an fairly difficult aim audience to delight!)

Answer 8

Lost Horizon - Highlander =3

Answer 9

Bambi by Prince:

Answer 10

Like the other guy said, Smells like Teen Spirit is good. Smoke on the Water is pretty simple. Look up Nickelback songs too, a lot of them are really good yet simple. Try one of their older albums though (Dark Horse seems a little more advanced that the older ones)

Answer 11

Something by the Ramones. well if it has to be appropriate don't do now i wanna sniff some glue.

summon astral daemon by krataskull
