Players Intro Songs RESULT

Filed under: — snookerbacker @ 12:37 pm

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS THE ONLY ELECTION THAT MATTERS AND I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT WE NOW HAVE OUR TOP DRAWER TOP 16 ALTERNATIVE RANKING LIST BASED ON THE CLICKS ONTO EACH OF THE SONGS.

Drum Roll Sounds………..

After a very late surge the newly crowned World Champion Neil Robertson makes it a double celebration by topping the rankings here too. No doubt spurred on by the celebrations since he won the big one.

This is surely all the reminders that the powers that be should need to revert to his original theme song. The people have spoken, second only to The Pulse in terms of power. Change it back, there’s a good boy.

Good Sense Has Prevailed

To listen to the songs again click the name, Steve Davis, Anda and Holt did not compete in the competition as they picked songs that nobody recognised or remembered but thanks to Nick in the comments section for the references. You can now enjoy Steve’s prog-rock classic in all it’s weirdness.

Joe Perry

Michael Holt (The second song on this site – took some finding)

Stephen Hendry

Zhang Anda (a late entry)

Ronnie O’Sullivan

Liang Wenbo

Mark King

Steve Davis (A late entry, serves him right for choosing such a weird obscure tune, this one starts to sound familiar about three minutes in)

Neil Robertson (The original)

Peter Ebdon

Thanks, I thought you may have been winding me up. Top knowledge which almost makes me think you are ‘in the know’.

They did but called it Art 2007 – I have found a very long youtube version which seems to have it in.

Robbo has gone and changed his song but his first one is better by miles. He will forever be the Thunder From Down Under on here.

Liang Wenbo making a surge, but we are currently experiencing a volcano of support for Mark Allen. It’s like Eurovision. Tactical Voting and all that.

Pettman has support but I fear the masses won’t appreciate the Blonde’s taste in music.

Mark Allen now joint world number 1 with Higgins. Plenty of time to go, it’s a marathon not a sprint.

Early Shock Leader – JOHN HIGGINS! You can’t keep a good man down.

To be honest I like the intro but the song goes downhill from there.
