Podium Song
Silly topic, but I don't care....
Does anyone like that stupid annoying podium song when they spray the champagne??? Let's hope Chase comes up with some crazy azz podium song that really will make it like a Super Bowl party after every race. Not only do thing need to be changed on the track, but the podium as well. |

Yep, it's annoying alright...as is Bob Constanduros and his "Champaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange" crap.
I tend not to watch the podium ceremony anyway cos it's boring. The change with the interviewer coming out was a good move but most of those are useless and the drivers rarely say anything interesting. |

What's so annoying about it? I think it's a good one and I can't remember what it's called, but IIRC, it was by the composer Bizet
Incidentally in 1992 they sprayed champagne to the tune of The Final Countdown |

The Benny Hill theme song would be a much better choice of music. Surely even the miserable iceman himself would crack a smile if he was spraying bubbly to that tune.
Its an apt choice, seeing as the drivers spent the last 2 hours driving around in circles. |

dont know why but first song that came to my head when thinking of what could be a replacement was Monty Python. so id vote for the Holy Grail theme complete with coconut halves as the winners gallop onto the podium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHDycUXzNs0 |

Yes I do miss that old guitar riff of the FIA logo. That was a quality tune and it was a sign that Murray, who had been talking calmly and quietly beforehand, was now about to go into his stride.
I also miss the old music the BBC used for the starting grid, especially Ivory Tower, although one of the tunes C4 use for their ad breaks for some reason reminds me of the one the used in the 90s |

To be honest I hadn't paid much attention to the music and it wasn't until I watched the videos above did it trigger the memory. And then I watched the video with the guitar riff intro... Wow! The nostalgic memory on that one! I didn't realize I missed it until hearing it again.

I've often said a fast forward button on a controller should come with the Yakety Sax song and the slow motion button has chariots of fire
