You're in the dressing room preparing to participate in a fight to the death. There's a packed arena of fans cheering in anticipation of the duel to come.

What song will you play on your headphones just before your battle?

Gad will attempt to defend his title against borninabin. Let the carnage begin!

Alexandre Desplat's 'Courtyard Apocalypse'

Carl Orff's 'O Fortuna'

Both entries are of the classical music genre. I'm surprised nobody went with something more conventional.

Like ACDC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM

Or Eminem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Yhyp-_hX2s

Or even Get Ready For This. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPOmFUid3vA

Or one of the great underrated movie songs from the 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqUa_G1h3pw

#1 is just a bit too mellow. Had to go #2

Also very surprised that neither went with some really loud rock song.

#1 by a hair, mostly because #2 is just too familiar.

I would definitely pick Gad's submission over most really loud rock songs or other more conventional options in this very hypothetical situation.

My thoughts exactly. #1 is something I would listen to when relaxing.

disappointed by this round but 2 would probably have more meaning if i was truly fighting to the death. if i listened to 1 think i would be at a mellow 80% and lose

Try this one, which is unavailable to me. I guess it's a US vs the rest of the world thing.

I’m more of a pensive person, a silent storm of emotions and power— #1 for me.

listening now - bolt, do you mind posting in the main thread whenever the new round thread is posted? subbed to that one so then won't miss the new threads.

went #2 - not the route I would have gone with either though.

I think snap choice I go with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0H3RlaQVrM or a rap song most likely.

yeah neither of these is what I'd have gone from

I guess O Fortuna wins but it seems super cliche
