Need some help finding the most controversial songs (Carmina Burana, etc) . I would like a good mix of styles.. OR.. those that might be considered controversial in Drum Corps (re: like doing a Techno song with all electronics, etc). Need to know why it would be controversial too...

Thanks!

Is Carmina Burana controversial? I always just thought it was impossible to use cause of copyright.

Have Skrillex playing through the front ensemble speakers while the corps plays God Bless America in 3/4 at quarter note = 210 facing backfield. That will ruffle some feathers.

Vinny... basically.. the "controversy" around CB... is it is supposed to be very sexual in nature... they basiclaly exaggerated one of the erotic poems CB is based on.

Yes, almost all of Carmina Burana is about drinking and sex. Other "scandalous" works (with the aspect that caused the scandal)...

The Abduction from the Seraglio (Wolfgang Mozart) (sex)
Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (Claude Debussy/Vaslav Nijinsky) (sex/visual style)
Salome (Richard Strauss) (sex & violence)
Carmen (Georges Bizet) (sex & violence)
The Rite of Spring (Igor Stravinsky) (musical style; violence)
Parade (Erik Satie/Pablo Picasso) (musical/visual style)
The Miraculous Mandarin (Bela Bartok) (sex & violence)

ooooooooooooo The Miraculous Mandarin. Good one.. Thank you!

haha. Carmen. One of the worst parts of it in its debut was when all the working women were smoking.

Of course there's Cage's 4'33", which would be absolutely ridiculous in a drum corps show, but very controversial nonetheless.

To put your own twist on it, make it 14'11".

Or whatever number you prefer

Alex.. if thats the one I think your talkin about.. your crazy lol... love it tho!

ok yea. just youtubed it. .its the one I thought it was lol

Cage's 4'33'' is good for a show about mimes. maybe a winterguard show perhaps.

Miamisburg WG sorta did that innnnn.. 92? 91? one of those years.. it was their Marilyn Monroe show... they did it some in the Piano show too

Definitely some Dubstep!!

Cinema-Benny Benassi Skrillex Remix

Pop Goes the Weasel!

aka my favorite song in the universe

I always thought CB was about bad gambling luck...

Go ahead and do The Rite of Spring.. BD did it and nobody knew wtf was going on.

Mission successful.

Lol I watched that in the movie theater and I was like huh? Lol
