8 Best Wrestlers With The Worst Theme Song Lyrics

8. Randy Orton - 'Voices' (Rev Theory)

The opening salvo of “I hear voices in my head” sung in an impressively high tenor by Rev Theory lead singer Richard Luzzi is, from a musical perspective, a great opener. It just doesn't suit Randy Orton.

The rest of the lyrics are actually alright, describing voices of a higher power in the singer's head giving him superior knowledge and skill. Good for you Randal. However, although the character of Randy Orton is meant to be a bit unstable, hearing voices in his head is not necessarily his defining trait.

No doubt this will be an unpopular choice, as Orton has grown himself around this theme. But using singing as the first beat of an entrance theme is difficult to pull off, and can limit the interpretation of the music. An example of lyrics that work is Triple H's theme. When Lemmy growls "it's time to play the game", those words are mysterious enough to let a first time viewer draw their own conclusions. It puts Triple H in a position of power, and that's partly why that theme is widely regarded as one of the best.

The same first time viewer hearing "I hear voices in my head" won't get the same effect. And damn it, Randy Orton deserved better. He needed the equivalent of a glass shatter or a menacing opening guitar chord. He needed something that leaves him more open to interpretation, because by now the character of Randy Orton is complex enough not to be defined by hearing voices in his head.
