5 Least Threatening WWE Entrance Themes
1. Strike Force - "Girls In Cars"
Comprised of mid-carders Tito Santana and Rick Martel, Strike Force enjoyed a modest run with the tag team titles until dropping the belts to Demolition at WrestleMania IV. They were a fun tag team with considerable popularity among WWE fans, yet their entrance theme, an instrumental version of Robbie Dupree’s “Girls in Cars”, didn’t exactly send their opponents searching for the nearest exit.
Boasting early 1980s hits like “Steal Away” and “Hot Rod Hearts”, Dupree was a huge score for WWE with crossover appeal written all over him. But his smooth crooning wasn’t the kind of music that inspired grown men to throw down, tights or not. Featured on 1987’s Piledriver: The Wrestling Album II, “Girls in Cars” presents the saga of a lovelorn middle-aged man ogling the women in his life who drove or rode shotgun – he never bothered to specify. Regardless of its catchy melody, “Girls in Cars” is a depressing tune as soon as one discovers those baffling lyrics. “Parts Unknown” material, it was not.
With such an odd song choice, it’s no wonder Strike Force never reclaimed the tag team gold. Following a loss to The Brain Busters at WrestleMania V, Santana and Martel began a lengthy feud and moved on to different pastures, just not necessarily the greener ones.
