Have you picked the song they'll play over the highlights of your rise to world domination? I have.

From "Inception." Has the right amount of epicness to it, especially starting at 1:34. You could cut in some newsreel footage, make it all nice and shiny, spread it out to your minions, promote your victory and whatnot.

Any of the rest of you picked out the theme music for your rise to greatness? Not that you'll get a chance to use it after I've conquered the world and all, but I'm still curious. :P

1. I haven't, yet, but now that you mention it, it is a good idea

I was so busy with my other plans I forgot how important a good theme song is.

[JeffersonChick]

2. Hmmm...

I think I'll do some Crystal Method. From the Vegas album. Or maybe "Name of the Game"

[PassingFair]

3. Gene Pitney.

"Town Without Pity"

It's been my inner theme song since I first
heard it.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

4. Thunderstruck by AC/DC

or anything by Rage.

5. Kick, because I KNOW more Loungers want to conquer the world than are letting on.

C'mon, Lounge. We've already established I'll be conquering the world, so let's at least hear what song(s) you would have used! :P

6. Philip Glass -- Koyaanisqatsi

7. heh heh - sucker!

I'm planning to conquer the world before you, and now I'm going to steal your music.

If and when you manage to conquer the world, you'll just look lame for using "my" music. :P

[JTG of the PRB]

8. Pfft. A likely story!

Have you figured out the structure you'll need in place to crush resistance at a moment's notice while still being a beneficial ruler for all the world? I have. I'd tell you what it is, but then you'd just try and steal credit for it when I'm sitting on my throne overlooking my empire. :P

[some guy]

9. eh,

I hadn't actually previously thought about taking over the world, so step 1 of my plan was stealing your music. :blush:

It's as good a place to start as any.

I don't think crushing the resistance will make you a beneficial ruler in their eyes, so you might want to update the label for that particular structure to include the words "the rest" as in, ". . . beneficial ruler for all the rest of the world.

Anyway, good luck. I doubt you could do a worse job than those currently pretending to be in control and ruling.

10. Anything by Big Country.

"Fields of Fire" should do nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0GAhe_9Was

11. Dead Can Dance - Host of Seraphim

12. Oh, that's easy!

I didn't even have to think about it:

13. Orff''s O Fortuna from Carmina Burana is the obvious choice, but...

it's just been played to death.

So, I'll go with Prokofiev's The Crusaders in Pskov from the Alexander Nevsky cantata.
