I'm going to regret this, I know it already ;)

Can you think of a song which has the same name as a ride? Maybe not even the name of the song, but words in it that make it fit a ride perfectly?

This isn't just songs that have the word coaster in them, or the video contains a coaster or ride by the way (how many people will ignore that bit I wonder? :p ).

I'll start.

First, how about Hex by Specimen. This is only names the same as a ride, but the lyrics don't link at all:

However, my second choice Nemesis by Shriekback actually links to the ride back story to a degree too. It's about a Jewish (in origin) monster who, when it returns to earth, will bring the dead alive again. It's not exact to the back story, but I think both are based on the same "myth":

(don't know if that's the original or the extended remix, sorry if it's the longer version).

So, anyone else think of any?
 
Funeral for a Friend - Oblivion...

Song sucks big time... Just annoys me greatly...

Bound to be a song called Thirteen somewhere...
 
Furie, I can't believe you forgot Rush by Depeche Mode!
 
LOL! I'm giving other people a chance.

No point in me coming in here and giving out a list of every song every that has a ride name - not much of a discussion is it? :p

Well done though :D
 
Yes, I realised you were leaving it open but Depeche Mode is furie_music!
 
Madness - Waiting for the (Ghost Train).

Wipeout by The Beach Boys ;)

Only if you include the Fat Boys in that title, otherwise it was a Surfaris' track. Or was that what the ;) was for? :p

On similar terms, Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys always reminds me of a very vibrating ride I once had on Nemmie. Bum vibrations were exciting my colon :)

I get Knocked Down by Chumbawamba always reminds me of Oblivion, simply for the chorus.
 
The band Behemoth, not sure if that counts....

30 Seconds to Mars did a song called Oblivion, too.

Don't know if this counts, but it's awesome.

I bet Pinball Wizard and Spinball Whizzer isn't one either?

That's all I can think of for now..

Someone should make a ride called Iron Maiden and play Iron Maiden songs all the way round like the Rock N Rollercoaster.

They did that with Led Zeppelin at Hard Rock park and the park closed after a year.
