Music of the Mat Remix: The Ten Count

Music of the Mat Remix logo

The ten count is a staple of pro wrestling matches: A wrestler has until the count of ten to get back in the ring or get up off the mat, or else they will lose the match. It’s a way to add some more drama and suspense to a match, though it seems count outs don’t happen nearly as often as they used to back in the day. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Fred Morlan (The Good, The Bad & The Hungee) start the ten count, playing songs sequentially with the numbers one, two, three, etc. in the title, all the way up to ten. Artists played include Ben Folds Five, Sneaker Pimps, Rufus Thomas, Southern Culture on the Skids, Babymetal, Styx, Jenny Lewis, and many more. Get back in the ring and beat the count so you can listen to this episode!

Theme song: “Hemispheres” by Silent Partner
