Need Song Ideas for Company Slideshow
Hello All -
I am working on a slideshow for an upcoming company party. The show will consist of project pictures (we are a construction company) as well as photos of employees. I want a really strong song to start off the project photos with. I was thinking something by AC/DC or some other rock band. But the words to most of their songs don't really fit. I don't know that it matters. I just want something with a really good beat, and I want it to make people feel good. Any ideas? Also, any ideas for the people section? I currently have the Black Eyed Peas, "I've Got a Feeling" in there. It has a nice beat to start the people pictures really fast, but I'm open to other suggestions.
Thanks for everyone's help!
Jennifer

Jennifer . . . I may have the "perfect" song for you.
The name of the song is Celebration by Kool & The Gang from 1981.
You can "watch" and "listen" to the song on YouTube right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M
What do you think

Hey Jennifer,
You sound like me sometimes when I find songs and then get hung up cause the words are just not right.
I have found after numerous shows that you can't always find a song that has all the perfect words.
I just make sure there are not "spicy" words or suggestions which you find with a lot of the new songs.
What comes to mind at first for construction is:
-Bay City Rollers, "We built this city"
-AC/DC - "TNT"
For the people and other sections, you know your crowd a lot better so the type of music depends on that sometimes.
For people sections, I have used the Pussycat Dolls, "When I grow up", which is a catchy beat and fun.
I like to use a lot of the new country songs since they have great words and good beats. You can email me at
downinglt@centurytel.net if you need other ideas.

Hi Jennifer,
A bit old now, but how about "working for the man" by Roy Orbison

Thank you to everyone for all of the suggestions. I'm going to plop in a few of these songs and see how they work with my pictures. Again, I really appreciate all the ideas from everyone.

IMHO - I just think that for a company you should use an instrumental.

Re: Need Song Ideas for Company Slideshow
I agree -- I'd use an instrumental.
Also, if you use commercial music, be careful how the slide show gets used. You've got a couple rights issues in there and if the company would for instance want to give copies to people or use it in some way they shouldn't do that.

Re: Need Song Ideas for Company Slideshow
I agree, I think you have to go with royalty-free music on this one. I would not take the chance for the company. Digital Juice had some for free a while back but I just checked the website and could not find them? I used them for a similar type of show one time. Check out the site b/c maybe I just missed them somewhere. The two that might work are called Power Sweep and Hero's Journey.
