I thought that as the season has progressed, we've gotten to hear what songs are heard on the PA system throughout Kings Island in 2009. One thing we've noticed is that the same music plays EVERYWHERE, even in Boomerang Bay. I thought I'd get a list started, including some favorites:

Styx - The Best of Times

Robbie Dupree - Steal Away

Billy Joel - My Life

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John - Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

Elton John & Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breakin' My Heart

Boston - More Than A Feeling

Yes - Rhythm of Love

Fleetwood Mac - You Make Loving Fun

Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies

What are other songs you recognize, and or like, you've heard while in the park this season?

Endless Summer:

School's Out

School's Out - Alice Cooper

Let's Get It Started - Black Eyed Peas

School's Out

"Take The Long Way Home" by Supertramp

"American Woman" by The Guess Who

...and lots more, just can't remember. Don't care to, really, because they really really should play something different on International Street and in NU, but who cares, really. KI doesn't need rock to rock, know'mean, Vern?

I like "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon. It plays along with the music video in Diamondback's line.

Dancin with myself by billy...

Wow. That soundtrack is a lot better than last year's Boomerang Bay soundtrack. It was fine at first, but it was like a one-hour loop, so I heard the same annoying songs about six times a day!!!

Oh, and don't ask me why I italic my exclamation points. Long story.

Yes, it was nice to hear a somewhat known (but great) song by Yes while waiting for a water slide - rather than the same old stock soundtrack you expect to hear at almost every water park.

Imagine - John Lennon

I've heard that a few times.

i think i heard goodbye to yellow brick road by elton john

I've heard "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" by U2 at least once on every visit...

Fits Rivertown perfectly

while walking out 2 saturdays ago... none other than...

Bad Day - Daniel Powter

I was curious how many people were thinking "no kidding"

Shiny Happy People-REM. I always sing along to it when it comes on.

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough-Michael Jackson. It plays over by one of the arcades in Coney Mall

One time, on my way to the restroom inbetween coney mall and octoberfest, I heard you never gonna get it by janet jackson.

99 Luft Balloons- Nina

Bennie and the Jets- Elton John

Stepping Stone- Duffy

Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Colliat (I don't know how to spell her last name.)

More Than A Feeling-Boston

Jack And Diane-John Cougar Mellencamp

Jesse's Girl-Rick Springfield

One you're missing is "Get Out of My Dreams (Get Into My Car)" by Fenix Tx. I have it on my iPod

Apologize

One day that was all I heard. I was on roller coasters during other music and then right when I got off a ride Apologize would play. Seriously!

AWSOME thanks so much , i been looking for some of the songs on ESOI sound list

some of the music they play in Diamondback's line is awful.

Here We Go Again: PureNRG -a Christian pop group consisting of 2 14 year old girls and a 16 year old boy. the song is annoying, catchy, stupid, and every time I hear it I get so angry! It probably didn't help that I work(ed) Diamondback for a while.

A few I heard today:

"Washed In The Water" by Needtobreathe

"Show Me What I'm Looking For" by Carolina Liar

"I Just Called To Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder

I hear "How to Save a Life" by the Fray on pretty much every visit. I also hear "Ready to Roll" by Jet Black Stare almost every time I wait in line for Diamondback.
