HHN 28: Vamp 85: New Year's Eve

[Returning-The-Reaction]

I think I might be more excited for the soundtrack to this zone than the zone itself. Depending on the tone they are going for, here are some songs from 1984 that I think we could hear: (if it's actually supposed to be 12/31/85, that opens up a ton more options)

^OMG YES THEY NEED TO PLAY GHOSTBUSTERS ESPECIALLY WITH THE FIREHOUSE LIKE RIGHT THERE (or what used to be it)

 

[kingcooger]

The more they pull from The Wedding Singer soundtrack, the better. It’s NYE in Times Square, play the mass appeal hits (and they can fudge the release year a bit)

 

[Lucky Planet]

Do you have something against Tina Turner? Lol

she dont belong at HHN lol

So I guess Material Girl is confirmed to play?

 

[Returning-The-Reaction]

If I were to add some more possible hard rock/metal songs to my list from above, I'd add:

2 Minutes to Midnight by Iron Maiden
Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Overkill by Motörhead
Creeping Death by Metallica
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica
Into the Fire by Dokken
Love Ain't No Stranger by Whitesnake
Perfect Strangers by Deep Purple
Rock You Like a Hurricane by Scorpions
We Rock by Dio

 

[happy bunny rabbit]

For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica

Great track on HRRR.

 

[faceleg]

I added the Billboard topping 100 playlists for 84 and 85 and will probably play them on a loop until the event.

^^Funnily enough, Like a Virgin started playing as I opened this thread.

 

[SukaVayne73]

If it's NYE I wonder if they are gonna have a Dick Clark Vamp to countdown to the vamp attack. I can't wait for this scare zone, I loved VAMP 55. I actually worked for BGT and was part of design with My last name Vayne. This is gonna be the people watch area for me, like I did at VAMP 55 & TrT. Not sure I have to check but for some reason was the song "Red Red Wine" by UB40 in 1985? Hmmmmm, but excited for the material girl vamps, guess we will see some "Desperately Seeking Susan" Madonna vamps.

Here's another one

All I’m saying is this zone better be in NY were Purge was last year, it better have music, and a ball drop at midnight

Nope.

Central Park. The only sound will be barking dogs. And they'll just politely ask you to leave around 9:30.

That would be a let down @Legacy

 

[JunoSynth]

If they play half of the songs you guys are suggesting I’m going to live in this zone for the music alone. Lol.

 

[horrornights789]

If I go to HHN Orlando I feel like I might just do half the houses and then watch this Zone; so much potential. Hopefully they play Jump, Careless Whisper, Footloose, & Rebel Yell in addition to Returning the Reaction’s list since all 4 would fit the period well. Wish “I Think Were Alone Now” by Tiffany was released earlier than ‘87 & “Venus” by Bananarama was released earlier than ‘86 since those would be epic in this zone and fit in well here. If this does well what are the odds for Vamp ‘9_ or Vamp2K?

 

[Sledge]

Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil.

Pretty please.

 

[Lucky Planet]

out of all the songs everyone is listing..... what songs does universal have the easiest access to? rights wise? because if anything they would probably try to get stuff like that?

From what I recall about copyright law in the 80's (just saying I do not know what has changed since then) is that the park would already pay ASCAP and BMI (whatever the 2nd union is). Since we are talking about just playing songs in the streets, they can play anything, they just supply the lost of songs and the unions pay the publishers their cut.
