I'm so glad that someone else has thought about this

Phil at Random Nuclear Strikes asks one of life's important questions. If you were about to be overrun by a necrotic tide of shambling zombies...
As you load your last mag into your chosen weapon, what song comes up your MP3 player/IPOD?
It's good to know that others have put serious consideration into this.

For me, it depends... Does the universe go into Zach Snyder-esque synchronized slow-mo as I dual-wield my 1911s into the hordes of the brain-eating undead, à la the apotheosis of Tallahassee in Zombieland? ‘Cause if it does, then it’s “For Those About To Rock”.

Otherwise, it’s “Bodies” by Drowning Pool.
And my answer? There are WAY too many good songs to go down fighting to.  I have both "For Those About to Rock" and "Bodies" on my MP3 player.

I think I would have to choose Jethro Tull's "Locomotive Breath" simply for the lyrics.

"In the shuffling madness,
of the Locomotive Breath,
Runs the All Time Loser,
Headlong to his death"

Of course I'll be fighting long after I run out of ammo.  A katana is an antiquated weapon in these times, but when it comes to a last ditch stand I'll pull mine out and get to mutilating the undead until my arms can no longer swing the dang thing.

Alternately I think Lady Gaga's "Show me your teeth" would be a good choice.

If it goes all slow then I'll vote for "Ave Maria" sung by Christina England Hale.
Otherwise it's "Winterborn" by the Cruxshadows

Happy Trails....Van Halen version. That's if I can no longer fight.

Bach's 'Air for the G String'

Best classical piece EVAH, and the name sounds like backstage at a strip joint! :-)
