Code Theme Music?

[trauma1534]

Trivia question for Jeepmedic and Fedmedic.... name the last name of one of the providers from back in the day at you know where who used to have a "code tape".... meaning, he played that tape in the system in the truck loud and through the back speakers while working a code. This code tape consisted of mostly Metalica... I remember woeking a code one night to the song Inner Sandman (I guess that's how you spell it) followed by Back in Black. He said that was how he consentraited. I've done it a few times myself since then. AC/DC works well for me... you can work a good code to Back in Black, Highway to Hell, Who Made Who is another good one. As far as playing a certain cd while responding, I really havn't done that. I am always listeing for dispatch to call back and update on the call. I love my sirines though... if someone calls for an ambulance, dang it, they gonna get an ambulance. As long as I've been in this business, I still get a high off of driving with lights and sirenes! HA!

Ok... Fed and Jeep... who was that provider? If you don't know, something is wrong! HA!

 

[jeepmedic]

He has the same first name as one of us.

I'll give Fed a chance to take a shot at it then I'll tell you who's right!

That could work!!! I still like ridryder's "Another one bites the dust!" lol

On my last department, we had a guy that would play the theme from Third Watch as he was going to the station for a call in his POV.

That's actually "Keep Hope Alive" by The Crystal Method. Predated TW by a few years.

Great album too!

Now that is funny as hell! Before I even read all of yall's postings, I was going to say my favorite code music was Metallica. Due to one of my best partners from the past. And yall had beaten me too it.

Here's one to Brother Harris!! Still spreadin hate and stompin out disease on the streets of W-S!! :beerchug:

When responding to a call: Move B*tch by Ludacris

I second that one h34r: Very appropriate for code drives haha

 

[Airwaygoddess]

And Harris it is!!! :beerchug: We need to recruit him by the way. He would make a nice addition to the EMTLife family! I'll just have to see what I can do about that! ;-)

But Trauma Harris is too old to work a Computer

And..... he has graduated from a nice power chair like fed's to a rusty old basic nursing home wheel chair!!! But, he is right by Fed at all the good calls telling him how to do what, only because he is now blind in one eye and can't see out the other!!! He's the man!

 

[Airwaygoddess]

I also like^_^ ^_^ ^_^ the song by David Bowie, "we could be heros"

 

[Ignacio_emt_vn]

Me and my partners theme was the theme from Chips. Sometimes we would even blast it through the PA when nobody was looking.

 

[BossyCow]

Okay, I'll admit to more than a time or two, hearing Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" in my head but do I get points for keeping it in my head?

 

[Airwaygoddess]

Bosseycow you can have as many points as you want!!

 

[BossyCow]

Thanks! I'll just keep my favorite. The one on top of my pointy little head.

"Oh Sh*t" by Buzzcocks:



Oh sh*t I thought things were goin well
But it hasnt turned out so swell
Has it
Oh sh*t

Oh sh*t pride comes before a fall
Oh sh*t and once you lose one youve lost them all
Oh sh*t I guess this times the time

 

[slawson]

Ok, it is a known fact there are whackers on this forum...you know who you are...

So, do you play theme music when flying code? If you do what do you usually play.

I would but it kinda tough to hear our VHF radios with the darn siren...

don't use it when responding cause thats uhm silly.. lol but check out "Artist in the Ambulance" by Thrice.... its pretty sweet...

 

[firecoins]

when I went lights and sirens, the song depended on the scene.

To a crime scene, police holding cell or the minimum secutity jail: the theme to cops, Bad Boys by Inner Circle

to a D.O.A: AC/DC's Back in Black

to a completely b.s. call/taxi ride: B.B. King's the Thrill is Gone

to an unknown emergency: The Beatles' Help

to a major car accident: Wagner's The Ride of theValkyries
