I was looking through Spotify the other day and came across these playlist by the band Ninja Sex Party. They were called "Ninja Brian's Murder Jams" and "Danny Sexbang's Feel Good Happy Time Jam Mix."
I thought to myself, "Who would have playlists like these?"
Dio. Dio would have playlists like those.
So I made some.
It took me a while to nail down what kind of music he would listen to for each occasion. But I am happy with the results. I imagine that DIO would become curious about how music changed over the hundred years he was sitting in the bottom of the ocean. He would have a large boom box in his room, with dozens of cassettes scattered around. Among these would be mixtapes he would have ordered one of his lackeys to make for him, since it was a popular thing to do back then. Two of these are:
DIO's Late Night Fun Mixtape
Side One:
Sacred Heart - Dio
Fat Bottomed Girls - Queen
Cherry Pie - Warrant
Rebel Yell - Billy Idol
Slide It In - Whitesnake
Side Two:
Sweet Transvestite - Rocky Horror Picture Show
I Love the Dead - Alice Cooper
Unholy - KISS
On Your Knees - W.A.S.P.
Master and Servant - Depeche Mode
DIO's Fun Murder Mixtape
Side One:
Mr. Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra
You Sexy Thing - Hot Chocolate
New York Groove - Ace Frehley
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! - ABBA
It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls
Rock Me Amadeus - Falco
Side Two:
Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
The Mob Rules - Black Sabbath
Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper
Cherry Bomb - The Runaways
Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
There are a lot of songs I would have loved to include on these mixtapes, but I decided to use songs up to the end of 1989 to keep things consistent. As much as I think Dio would love the song Livin' La Vida Loca, it wasn't released until years later. These are all songs he would have access to at the time of Part 3. I do have a bias for metal music, so that is why you will see a lot of songs from that genre. I hope to hear what you think of them, and it you have any mixtapes of your own.
