7 Awesome Songs From Fight Scenes

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Everyone loves a good fight scene. But you know what most good fight scenes lack? An awesome song to go along with it. Right? Right?

But have no fear, for I’ve found seven movies that know how to treat a fight scene.

The Last Dragon – The Last Dragon Anthem, Dwight David

First off, if you don’t own this movie you can’t possibly be human. And if you do own this movie and you don’t know this song by heart, you can’t possibly be human.

Karate Kid – You’re the Best Around, Joe Esposito

I don’t need to explain this one. It’s Daniel LaRusso and Kobra Kai (says, No Mercy!) fighting to “You’re the Best Around”. I know you know all the words to this song. You don’t have to admit it.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Oooze – Ninja Rap, Vanilla Ice

Ok, I can explain……

You know what? Screw it.

I know this song word for word. And you know what else? This song is awesome. There. I said it.

Rocky III – Eye of the Tiger, Survivor

Boxing is fighting, right? Good. Since we’re allowing boxing, there’s no way I could make this list without “Eye of the Tiger”. Absolutely no way.

Office Space – Still, Geto Boyz

This isn’t a fight per se, but only because the fax machine doesn’t fight back. But there are weapons involved and you can never go wrong with a Geto Boys song, so it makes the list. Deal with it.

I’m Gonna Git You Sucka – Kung Fu Fighting, Carl Douglas

One of my favorite movies of all time. In this classic clip, Kung Fu Joe roughs up a few cops while, wait for it………”Kung Fu Fighting” is playing. Does it get any better than that?

Charlie’s Angels – Smack My B*tch Up, Prodigy

Ah, Charlie’s Angels. Ah, Charlie’s Angels. Ah, Charlie’s Angels. Gotta give this movie mad props. They could’ve just left it at 3 beautiful women kicking tail. That would’ve been good enough. But they went the extra mile and dropped a track like “Smack My B*tch Up” in the middle of 3 beautiful women kicking tail.

Toss the Burner: May 15, 2007

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Up until about 1 p.m. I was having a complete bogey of a day…because I decided to go to the DMV this morning…because I’m a schmuck.

Then, I received an early birthday package from my good pal Hillary at Fitness Magazine, which included:


After pummeling Stallion for a while, I was good. Before that though, I was livid. The DMV wouldn’t let me exchange my Connecticut license for a New York one because I didn’t have with me proof of birth. Because w/o a birth certificate or passport in hand, you’re presumed to be a hologram in the eyes of these dingos who work there. Proof of birth? OK, fine. Pinch me, rock me in the face if you want…in fact, why don’t you call my mom and let her tell you what a bastard I was at age 15, I’m real dammit!

So now I’ve got the old man spending eight bucks to overnight me a birth certificate. Hard earned money he could spend on that Corona light he seems to enjoy so much…oh, and I get to go back to the DMV tomorrow…which is my actual birthday!

With this current sad state of affairs I’m dealing with over here, I decided to post links to what I perceived as the worst stuff going on around the sports blogosphere today:
