It seems an Indiana Jones inspired song list is warranted (by popular demand). So, here are 10 more songs about Indy (remember we already have the movie theme song (by John Williams) and the L.B. Rayne 80s spoof mentioned in the previous "Music to Archaeology by" post):
p.s. There are a pile of songs that mention Indy in passing as a pop culture reference too (e.g. Oi to the World by No Doubt, You Dreamer by Big Country, Regional Girl by The Monkees, etc.) but I didn't count them. Also, FYI you get 177 hits on myspace if you search for Indiana Jones as a song/band title. Most appear to be techno instrumentals or offensive rap. If we filter out the junk, there are a few that are decent songs from little groups like small city (doesn't actually mention Indy until the very last line), Echoe (they're from the Poland and they're fung-kay), Vermont, or Matthew Ridenour. Note: Holy cow there are a LOT of techno songs that are called "Indiana Jones". Although most are for no discernible reason some use the theme song somehow, like Speaker Chemicals.
I used to love aqua! But I think the song was more about the search for Dr. Livingston /Heart of Darkness, which is a little heavy for the same group that did 'Barbi Doll'

ReplyDeleteTheir videos kicked ass though!
I'd totally forgotten about that song! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
