I think my favorite WCW theme song of all time is "Self High Five", DDP's most well-known theme song. Of course, it's an obvious rip-off of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. I really like both, but I find myself enjoying DDP's theme more than the real song. I don't know if that's just me or not, so I'm putting it to the poll - which one do you like better?

My vote's for "Self High Five".
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the most overrated song in history to me anyway.

All I know is that whenever Smells Like Teen Spirit comes on the radio, I can't resist saying "Self High-Fiveeee!" followed by "DEE DEE PEE" "TOOOO COOOL" and "GOOOD GAWD"

Same way they got away with ripping off Come as You Are for Raven.

Same way they got away with ripping off Come as You Are for Raven. And Evenflow for Jericho. Yeah, that's a pearl Jam song, but the point is still the same. |

I really like Nirvana and couldn't stand DDP. So Teen Spirt gets my vote.

In WCW's defense, Jericho's was done by a production library, not WCW themselves. it may have been Aircraft Music but I'm not 100% sure. DDP's and Raven's were all WCW doings though. |

Nirvana's my favorite band of all time, DDP was only my 5th favorite WCW guy. So I have to go with "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

I voted for DDP because at least I know the lyrics to that one.  |

Teen Spirit, but I freakin LOVE the guitar solo addition to Raven's theme.

I somewhat prefer the TNA Version of Self High Five.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was a mark out thread to Barry Horrowitz. Now I'm sad.

Yeah, I find myself actually preferring Self High Five and Raven's theme to the actual Nirvana versions.
I still consider Raven's theme to be one of the greatest of all time.

I have to say, after listening to them together, Self High Five has an awful lot going for it.
Though I'm not sure it's a fair comparison since one has vocals and the other is instrumental.

I like all the covers compared to the original songs, probably because I associate moments in wrestling with the music.

No love for Weird Al Yankovic's "Smells Like Nirvana"?

Heh, first I'd heard this. Awesome. I voted Self High Five, since it's the one I actually sing around the house. WWE does this sort of thing, too, on occasion. DJ Gabriel's theme sounds a LOT like Party Man by Prince, while Tommy Dreamer's theme is obviously a throwback to his Man in the Box theme. |
