[The Jayman]

Everybody on the Ground gets my vote. Beautiful People would be second

[EDWARD]

it's tough. i'm in between i want it all and let it roll.

[taker707]

Let it roll all the way

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Close, but I say Rise Up.</font>

[Anybody Thrilla]

Where's "If You Rock Like Me" or whatever?

[Anybody Thrilla]

This one:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9VkqFW27M9M&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9VkqFW27M9M&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

[Xero]

Had a feeling I had forgotten one. Added. Thanks.

[Cool King]

I don't blame you for forgetting about that one, Xero.

The song is pretty bad.

[Xero]

I actually came across that but thought it was a RAW theme.

Fucking generic rock.

[Tb1]

Always loved I Want It All.

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s7QrFeK1nGU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s7QrFeK1nGU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

[parkmania]

As much as I dislike Marilyn Manson, Beautiful People gets my vote.

I Want it All sounds like a rejected new version of Jericho's theme.

[sa]

I want it all is good song and Beautiful People has a good video because Scotty 2 Hotty is in it.

[Lock Jaw]

I vote for the first one. Even though it is mad generic, I always loved that little pause/drawn out note in the song that coincides with The Rock sniffing the air.

[Nicky Fives]

I want It All..... I listented to that way too much from the days of playing HCTP

[VSG]

I want it all.. Loved it, and continue to do so!

[Juan]

As with most things in life, the original is the best.

[Inadequacy]

I forgot about I Want it All, loved that one.

[DaVe]

Wow, this looks like the most divided poll yet. Surprised at how many people prefer Let It Roll, but Smackdown has almost always had good themes.

[The Pope]

Everybody on the ground brings back memories

[Poit]

Everybody on the Ground gets my vote. Beautiful People would be second

[weather vane]

All these themes are brutal.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I went with The Beautiful People on this one.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I just went with "Everybody on the Ground" because I had no idea those were the lyrics until this very thread.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Was it performed by the same people who did "Gadda you freak, gadda gadda you freak" for Test?

[Haze]

"I Want It All" brings back memories of Smackdown! when it was at it's greatest.

Thus, it gets my vote.

[El Fangel]

Rise up, gets second for me.

[Lock Jaw]

I just went with "Everybody on the Ground" because I had no idea those were the lyrics until this very thread.

I had no idea there were lyrics until I read this and then listened to it again.

[Londoner]

Everybody on the Ground gets my vote. Beautiful People would be second

this

[parkmania]

I think Everybody on the Ground just might have been performed by Mushmouth and the Artards.

[DaVe]

The first line is 'Everybody on the ground', but what's the second part? 'Cos everybodies standing up?' or something. That's what someone suggested in some YouTube comment.

[Stealth-Icon]

[Stealth-Icon]

Opps, I mean the song.

[Rammsteinmad]

I Want It All.

Pretty tough though. They're all good as intro videos, but overall the songs themselves are pretty lame.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Rise Up cause it was the theme when Eddie and JBL were the champs and when JBL was a color commentator.

I want it all was just made to highlight a new rap tv show that was going to be debuting on Friday Nights on UPN. The show didn't last long, but the theme did unfortunately.
