Apiphobic Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm making two-minute slideshows for eight chiefs and need song suggestions to go with each person's pictures. So far I have Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man," Toby Keith's "How Do You Like Me Now?" and Bob Seger's "Like A Rock." One possibility is Alan Jackson's "Small Town Southern Man." These songs were chosen by the individuals, but some have asked me to choose. One guy asked for a contemporary rock/patriotic song. These are the ones I'm mulling over, but I was hoping to get some more ideas! This is for a military function -- a promotion ceremony, and each slideshow will be 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes long. Their pictures are mostly of him in uniform, either at work or in travels, him with his family, and his formal military pictures. Thanks!!! Our Country - John Mellencamp last two stanzas: The dream is still alive someday it will come true and this country it belongs to folks like me and you so let the voice of freedom sing out through this land this is our country From the east coast to the west coast down the dixie highway back home this is our country From the east coast to the west coast down the dixie highway back home this is our country Citizen Soldier - 3 Doors Down Top of the World - Van Halen First 1:10 Hey, baby, whew! I know that you believe in me, That's all I ever need, uh huh. No, no, nothing's gonna stop me, Nothing will be scaring me, oh no Hey baby, it's the only way out Oh, little darling Cmon what's it all about? Standing on top of the world For a little while. Gonna give it all we got. America - Neil Diamond possible instrumental version? Ramblin' Man - Allman Brothers Dreams - Van Halen My Way - Elvis Presley or Frank Sinatra, etc. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh Small Town - John Mellencamp One Moment in Time - Whitney Houston It's My Life - Bon Jovi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peek a Boo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Does anyone want to have "It's all right to be little bitty" --or maybe "size matters" ? ;)' I guess the other 'guy' song i think about is There's somethin' women like about a pick-up man :D... so if any of them have a favorite truck, that would be great. lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an american"? which branch? There's always the Ballad of the Green Berets... Some Gave All Aaron Tippin // You’ve Got to Stand for Something Edited February 11, 2009 by Peek a Boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingmommy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) There's a really great patriotic song by a newer country singer named Eric Dodge. It's called "I Pledge" and it is a very stirring song. I believe he gave it away to folks in the military when it first came out. Not sure. It's late and I can't remember. If you just type in Eric Dodge, you can find lots on him and the song. Good luck. jeannie Edited February 11, 2009 by flyingmommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful song, but it is played at nearly every military function I go to and I'm beginning to detest it. How'd you know that practically every male member on this base drives a truck? lol I should've included She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy as one of the choices. :lol: And Trace Adkins' I Got My Game On.

So far, here are the songs they've chosen: Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red White and Blue Tim McGraw's Live Like You Were Dying 3 Doors Down's Citizen Soldier Toby Keith's How Do You Like Me Now?
