Walking on Sunshine had some good footage in it
Forget who the artist was Katrina something or other.

I also saw a video done to Van Halen's Jump very well done with the skydivers lip sinking in freefall.
We used to use a 185 At Toogoolawah in the eighties that had an awsome stereo in it, Bill the pilot/owneer used to crank it up on exit, and I can remember launching a five way with all of us singing the song as we went, and yes it did funnel without the proper count!!

Watch my video Fat Women

My personal favorites are:

Spunge - Jump on Demand
The Offspring - I Choose
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Staind - So Far Away (for when you're under canopy)

I'm so funny I crack my head open!

The mind is like a parachute - it only works once it's open.
From the edge you just see more.

Tom Petty - Free Fallin'

Anyone in the sport more than 2 months and exposed to tandem videos on a regular basis learns to hate that song. I've been to DZs that have it banned from the tandem music choice list.

Good for them.

My helmet is rigged with my tiny MP3 player. Since its a full face all I hear is crystal stereo tunes.

Some of my tracks are,

Evanescence Going under
Madonna Live another day
Linkin Park Faint
Numb
Lyin from you
Metalica Back to the front
Seek and destroy
Simply Red Sunshine

Ive got over 8hours of tunes at randum playing in my helmet when Im not instructing students. Helps calm me on the way up since I hate to fly.

For my first jump I picked Metallica's "Sad but True" (one of my favorite songs) to go with all the ground footage, interview & ride to altitude. It turned out AWESOME with the editing my video guy did!!! Creed's "Stand Here With Me" was blarin' when we stopped, looked down, then went out the door. I know, I know....Creed. But hey, I chose it for the lyrics. My oldest sister always talked about jumping "someday" but never did before she passed away. That one was for her. Don
