Let it roll all the way

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

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

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>

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

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

Fucking generic rock.

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>

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Everybody on the ground brings back memories

All these themes are brutal.

I went with The Beautiful People on this one.

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

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

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

Thus, it gets my vote.

Rise up, gets second for me.

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

this

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

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.

Opps, I mean the song.

I Want It All.

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

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.
