I love this thread, my mind is really going now! I had always had the intention of using a "local" song for doing a video. Like in the Boston area using the song "Dirty Water" by the Standell's (I love that dirty water...Oh Boston you're my home....etc). Or a song by the band Boston.
I also like using powerful soundtracks/music from other places like Braveheart or Last of the Mohican's. There are no words generally.
I know that for my Dad's retirement party a few years ago, one of his fiefighters put together a slide show of him through the years using Coldplay's "Clocks". Absolutely nothing to do with the fire service, but with it playing subdued in the background nobody was really listening to the lyrics anyway.
