Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2002 I swear that I'm hearing something very close to the UnAmericans theme for some commerical for a 9/11 dealie. It seems sooo close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted August 29, 2002 They probably went for something that sounds kinda close to the Canadian National Anthem, which is, as we all know, "America's 51st State and Proud of It." Really though, they should use "I'm Afraid of Americans" for music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted August 29, 2002 Well we'd be a huge 51st as we are, geographically, bigger than all the USA put together... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted August 29, 2002 The United States doesn't boast about its size, although we are bigger than all but three of the other countries on the planet. Hey, we don't mind a big-ass state. Hell, we put up with Texas and Alaska, don't we? Besides, I was just joking, calm down, eesh. I still say they're going for an "O Canada" feeling with the music. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted August 30, 2002 I thought maybe it was a song from Attitude or Warzone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted August 30, 2002 It sorta sounds like Regal's theme, moreso than O Canada. Unamericans sounds more minor and dissonant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted August 30, 2002 I realize I'm setting myself up for exile and summary execution from my fellow Canadian Alliance members for this, but the first time I heard it, I thought it was Canada's national anthem (not "O Canada", the instrumental one that sounds like the Russian national anthem).

Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted August 30, 2002 it's just public-domain stock music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted August 30, 2002 It's not public-domain. It's produced by a production company who sells the rights to their songs to whoever wants them (WWE, TV commercials, radio ads, etc.). By using production music, the WWE saves on liscensing fees by not using real "commercial" music, though in recent years it is swinging towards the use of commercial music more than production. Nearly all of WCW's themes pre-1994 were production songs. When Jimmy Hart came along in 94, he wrote his own themes for several wrestlers, although production music was still present (for example, Renegade's 2nd WCW theme was Marc Mero's WWF theme). WWF started using production music around 1997-ish. If you want a certain song, you have to find the title of it then contact the production company to find out what CD it's on. The theme will come on a CD along with other production music, and usually costs around 90 dollars. However, production music websites (Beatnik for instance) allowed users to preview the entire song online for free. So when themers found out about this, they started getting songs from offline. Nowadays, the production music companies only offer low-quality bitrate previews, forcing you to buy the 90 dollar CD if you want the full, CD quality theme. Hope this clears some things up BTW, I don't buy the CD's, I'm not THAT into theming. There are people who buy the CD's with the most wrestling themes on them and post them semi-frequently, so I just get the MP3's from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
