Pretty Wonderful-Faries Wear Boots(Black Sabbath)

Ric Steiner - Welcome to the Jungle

M.I.A. - War, What is it Good For?

Mamalukes - Godfather theme song

Steven Richards / Kronik - Love Dump

JJ - Cowboy

 

There's much more, but I have a brain freeze.

KroniK - 'Love Dump' by Static-X. And now Steven Richards uses a remixed version minus lyrics.

 

Filthy Animals - One of their themes, around the New Blood era, was based on 'Vivrant Thing' by Q-Tip.

 

Road Warriors/Vince Russo - 'Ironman' by Black Sabbath

 

Shane Douglas - 'Perfect Strangers' by Deep Purple. Of course, 'Perfect Strangers' served as his ECW theme.

 

Lance Storm - ECW's theme song.

 

Eric Bischoff - 'White Train (Showdown)' by Tito and Tarantula, from the Desperado soundtrack.

 

Elix Skipper - 'Party Up' by DMX

 

I'm fairly sure Rick Steiner and Hugh Morrus (during the M.I.A. era) used themes based on real songs, as well.

 

Then, there are Goldberg, Sting and The Deadpool, which all used full real songs for a time.

 

EDIT: Millennium Man beat me to a few, while I was sitting here trying to think of more.

Cool...I recall hearing a song on the radio that sounded almost exactly the same as the NWO midcarder theme(Bagwell/Norton), except it was a bit slower-anyone know what it is?

Great Muta's WCW theme sounds a bit like China Girl by David Bowie, and Bobby Walker's theme sounds like Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.

Also, Ricky Steamboat's GOOD theme sounded like something that came out of the Dragon:Bruce Lee Story movie(anyone know where to get that theme?)...

Lol-at least there's someone out there that remembers it! Also, Eddie Guerrerro's heel theme/Chavo's current theme sounds similar to that song in Dazed and Confused(the one that sounds like someone saying "Oh My Lord" in a low voice, followed by trumpets)...

Lil Romeo used some Ricky Martin ripoff, but I don't know which one.

Terry Funk's 1989 theme sounded very similar to a song by Ennio Morricone from the movie Once Upon A Time In The West-I think the song is "Man with a Harmonica" or something like that.

Eddie and Chavo had a "Low Rider" riff. Chavo still uses it when he's in a singles match.

Chris Benoit's theme song was stolen off of SOMETHING...I can't remember the name of the band, or the song itself, but it's some song that, when you hear the real version, you'll think "They picked THIS for Benoit?"

Lance Storm - ECW's theme song

Actually, it's a rip-off of HIS ECW theme: White Zombie - "El Phantasmo And The Chicken Run Blast-O-Rama (Wine, Women, And Blood Remix)"

I always wished someone would've used a ripoff of either "No Leaf Clover" by Metallica and/or "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour.

Damn lances ECW theme great. Why not use it now, Zombie lets edge use his music so I am sure Lance could. Also the Dawn-Torrie feud is over, why not call Lance the Impact Player get rid of Regal and bring in Dawn.

Lets recap:

Lance+Dawn+Impact Player+Cool Music=perfect Intercontinental Champ.

I seem to recall Shawn Stasiak using a rip-off of "Right Here, Right Now" by (I believe) Fatboy Slim. It was at the beginning of 2001...

The finished WCW-Theme Benoit had was great though...i loved it anyway.

 

Ah, the good 'ole days.

White Zombie sings Lance Storm's theme.

Sting's "Seek and Destroy" was the real version by Metallica, not a knockoff. It was from their Woodstock '99 performance and WCW Mayhem: The Music.

Muh gawd.

 

The song is called "Replica". It's so freakin' ghey and it's completely *wrong* for Benoit. Of course, without the lyrics, it was fine.

 

You can download it (minus lyrics, sadly) from Cyclone2K. And you should try finding the version w/ lyrics.
