Songs they should have put into Civ 2

[DaveV]

I know, there are several other music threads, but this one's different. What songs would be appropriate for different events in Civ2? Examples:

End of We Love the xxxx Day: You've lost that lovin' feeling (Righteous Brothers)

Sneak attack: Backstabbers (The O'Jays)

Build a caravan: Caravan (Utopia)

Spy bribe: Money (The O'Jays)

You get the idea, I hope...

(Edited to put titles in italics. I know a good idea when I steal it!)

For turns in anarchy: I Fought the Law - The Clash

When the AI moves units in your territory during a cease-fire: Suspicious Minds - Elvis

When being the only player without an alliance in a seven player MP game: Paranoid - Black Sabbath

When finding out that your only feasible starting position is nothing but desert: Main theme to Lawrence of Arabia

This topic has serious range...

Using the GoTo command: My Aim is True Elvis Costello

Vet Spy infiltration: Evil Woman???

After you lose a city: Exodus Bob Marley

Barbarian Invasion! Immigrant SongLed Zepplin

Sing along, now!

[Empress]

When you lose a tireme full of units because you forgot that tiremes can be lost at sea the game should play Momentary Lapse of Reason --Pink Floyd.

[Carolus Rex]

When you lose a city: Boys Don't Cry - The Cure (sorry Empress! )

When turning a worker into a taxman: Taxman - The Beatles

When a city is bribed: Civil War - Guns and Roses

When putting units to sleep: The Lullaby - The Cure

When you've searched for that last enemy city for 50 turns without success: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2

MP bug not mentioned yet at these forums: When the English are in anarchy every other civ in the game get to hear Anarchy in the UK - The Sex Pistols (strange, huh?)

And a special one: When all addictive civers are turning on their computers at work/school/wherever they are after a night of serious civin' All You Zombies with the Hooters mysteriously plays...

Sten Sture - Evil Woman was by Electric Light Orchestra, I believe.

Empress - how about Pink Floyd's Learning to Fly when you build your first air unit?

Another one when using the GoTo command: The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles

Whenever you micromanage: Everything Counts - Depeche Mode

ACK! I just lost a post...

For the closing credits: The End by the doors.

When a spy tears down city walls: When the Walls (come tumblin' down) by John Mellancamp or the Call's The Walls Came Down.

Another Cure idea: Killing an Arab when you destroy a caravan. Though it would probably make Robert Smith sad...

I had a couple more, that I can't remember just now...

[Empress]

Or when someone contacts you with the diplomacy screen, you could reply with a few lines from Floyd's What do you want from me hehe

[C0ckney]

Nah for San francisco it should be
If your going to san francisco be sure to wear some flowers - some hippie who i cant remember
also when an air unit crashes, wish i could fly by roxette

Cockney used to be schizophereic but we'er ok now

[Carolus Rex]

"If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair", or something like that.

I think it's Scott McKenzie?

[C0ckney]
