DJ's Please help. Need song suggestions

[Old Vantaa Man]

Just landed a new job as music producer for a promo video production. The customer is one of the harbours in the Helsinki area. We've sold them the idea of a "Top Ten" music chart. All the songs must somehow have something to do with:

Logistics and freight
Shipping
Cars
Trucks
Motorways
Tracking

Now, I know just about anything by Kraftwerk would fit, but do you please have any suggestions for titles that ARE LIKELY TO BE CLEARED by the publishers? Beatles, Led Zep or Earth Wind and Fire are probably not going to be within our price range. I'm thinking 5-year old House, Heavy Metal and Reggae.

By the way, if we don't get them cleared, I'm going to be in the market for your tunes - if you'd like to have a bash and make some cash. But that all depends on how much the licensed gear costs us. Of course, I really hope we can't get them cleared, but we have to show the customer how much the hits cost.

If you make a winning suggestion that gets cleared, there's an iPOD in it for ya!

Yay for capitalism!

PM me all your ideas and links to mp3's if possible and how you think the lyrics possibly tie in with any of the above criteria.

check your PMs

English tracks or does Finnish ones count too?

[Old Vantaa Man]

Cheers GND. Replied to that. Hope you got.

Juho mate. Although it's for international clients, at least one Finnish track could be great. We'd then subtitle it in the vid. In fact, thinking about it, I'd really like to include a Finnish track.

an old house track comes to mind...has a line in it that says "all aboard... the night train". Sorry I can't remember the whats what about the prodcers but i'm sure yourself or someone here will remember.


How about a techno'd up version of "We are sailing" by Rod Stewart

[Old Vantaa Man]

Cheers lads for all PM's and ideas.

Just a bit more to give you an idea of titles I'm looking for. Bear with me..

There's going to be a massive automobile terminal at the harbour. Nearly all new cars coming to Finland will be going through this place.

So, I'm hoping to use one track called Getting in 2U. I can envisage that in a video with a new owner getting in to his (of course it's a man) new car. Ta-dah!

So, you see, the song doesn't actually have to be about "cars" as such.

Other songs for which I'm going to apply for permission are entitled:
Finally
That's The Way I Like It
Ride On Time
In the Midnight Hour

Themes are kind of more underlying. Satisfaction, reliability, like nothing else, etc.

Please keep em coming! Cheers!

I think I know what you are after here....

I'm rather upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all

I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great balls of fire

I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish...

[Old Vantaa Man]

Ah! Cargo handling systems. Nice one!
