I think a lot of us are into music, and make mix CDs. That being said, I want everyone to think about making their own personal Ultimate Arrowhead Tailgate Mix CD to jam out to in the parking lot before games. Make it realistic, like 15-20 songs, unless you want to go for the more epic double disc, then you can do twice as many. I’ll drop mine soon along with the others in an Addict Angles post. Thanks to Double D for helping me come up with the concept…
What is your Ultimate Arrowhead Tailgate Mix CD?




1. ‘Sawdust In the Blood’ – Rob Zombie (great first track for this CD)
2. ‘Shake Ya Tailfeather’ – Nelly (because it samples the war chant)
3. ‘Dipset’ – Lil Wayne (because he references Dante Hall in the song)
4. ‘I’m a Playa’ – Tech N9ne (good song, local artist)
5. ‘Night and Day’ Tech N9ne (“)
6. ‘Pound That Beer’ – Mac Lethal (again, local artist, good song)
7. ‘Jesus Or a Gun’ – Fuel (this song is just really badass and I don’t really have enough rock on here)
8. ‘Click Click Boom’ – Saliva (gets you pumped)
9. ‘Let’s Go’ – Lil Jon (same)
10. ‘It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere’ – Jimmy Buffet and Alan Jackson (this probably should have gone earlier but oh well)
That’s all for now. Might come back with more later but probably not.
Off the top of my head, in no particular order:
1. Creep – Radiohead
2. Tush – ZZ Top
3. Black Hole Sun – Soundgarden
4. Baker Street – Foo Fighters
5. Everlong – Foo Fighters
6. Times Like These – Foo Fighters
7. Santa Monica – Everclear
8. Transcendental Blues – Steve Earle
9. Life by the Drop – Stevie Ray Vaughan
10. Communication Breakdown – Led Zepellin
11. Misty Mountain Hop – Zep
12. When the Levee Breaks – Zep
13. Whole Lotta Love – Zep
14. Rock & Roll – Zep
15. Running with the Devil – Van Halen
16. Crosstown Traffic – Jimi
17. Voodoo Chile – Jimi
18. Dream On – Aerosmith
19. Back in the Saddle – Aerosmith
20. Sunshine of Your Love – Cream
Shoot, that feels like a pretty short list with too many songs left off. May have come back later with cd #2.
And we’re off to a great start…
My perfect mix wouldn’t have any songs but rather a whole bunch of clips from Mitch Holthus going nuts over Chiefs touchdowns the past few years….I could listen to those clips all day long, especially the Dante Hall returns.
Another sampling . . . CD #2:
1. She Hates Me – Puddle of Mudd
2. Fire Water Burn – Bloodhound Gang
3. Back in the USSR – Beatles
4. Teenage Lobotomy – Ramones
5. Space Truckin’ – Deep Purple
6. Emminence Front – Who
7. Call Me the Breeze – Skynyrd
8. Sweet Home Alabama – Skynyrd
9. Gimme Shelter – Stones

16. Boom Boom – The Animals
17. December – Collective Soul
18. London Calling – The Clash
19. Hey, Tonight – CCR
20. On the Road Again – Canned Heat
Centaur27, I agree. I could listen to Holthus all day long. I don’t have a mix compiled yet, but I’m working on it, I’ll get back to that later.
PS Kevin Harlan was also a great Chiefs broadcaster …
Nothing was better than D.T. coming off the corner for a fourth quarter sack and hearing Harlan scream, “oh baby, what a play!”
Alright, this wasn’t easy, but just off the top of my head … I present my 2008 Chiefs Tailgate Mix:
1. Start Me Up – Rolling Stones (An Arrowhead classic!)
2. Swamp Song – Tool (An ode to our LSU boys)
3. Letdown – Radiohead
4. Adrenaline – Gavin Rossdale (Hate the singer, love the song)

Hmmm, I’ma try not to use more than one song by any artist, so we can get more diversified music, ya’heard? And I’m going for the epic double set, which is even more epic due to the fact that I’m not re-using an artist.

Thanks for the props, SeanB. I noticed you had some Tech N9ne and Mac Lethal on there. Gotta have the locals in the mix (even if I’m not actually a KC local anymore). Another thing, i think the War Chant is a necessity for any list. When I go to games down in San Diego, I always blast that one in the parking lot, let them know what’s coming.
Yeah I love that Chiefs fans picked up the Chant. One of the coolest crowd traditions ever.
And I’m not in KC anymore either. Heart of Dixie for me, rootin for Brodie’s alma mater.

“I’m Shipping up to Boston” is a great one, because we kick off the season in New England, which is close enough. Also, my favorite fighter, Anderson Silva, comes out to “Ain’t No Sunshine,” so that gets me pumpe2d for sure.
I haven’t decided if I am going to do one, two or three discs yet. I have just written down SO many songs.
This has been awesome so far!
Playing at Arrowhead with all that fan support has got to be worth 7 points on the board talk about intimidation. Its nothing like that at other parks. Nothing but red everywhere, people yelling KILL KILL WAR WAR!!! Thats why the tailgate music is so important.
Can’t believe no one brought up this one as my first song..
SIRIUS – ALANS PARSONS PROJECT
WARCHANT -
Hey Mr.Sportsfan – budlight
Shake your Tail feathers – Nelly

Football Song – Stompin Tom Connors

The Hey Song (touchdown song) – Unknown, but it rocks.
That is it for now as I am going to try and make a compilation track and look up some of that Mitch Holthus. SIRIUS is my absolute first song as the beginning takes me back and images of the CHIEFS coming out of the tunnel…MAKES my damn arm hair stand……
I listen to “A New Game” before I take the fantasy football field every Sunday!
