Harold team intro songs

#1
This maybe a little late but I hope the songs still remain fresh in your brains. Did anyone know the name of the following intro songs?

fwand / fwa - It began with this impending evil pulse, then pushed straight into a fast techno beat. There was also an intro song before this one, if anyone knows it.
1985 - I actually don't remember what this sounded like at all. Unless I completely mixed it up with the fwand one I described above.
DeCoster - Before the A-Team's theme, they had this very fun, um, horn-filled intro. Reminded me of the horn-heavy sample of Miserlou that the Black Eyed Peas used in "Pump It." Also, there was one before this one that I don't recall, but I do remember liking it.

My contribution:
I know that T.R.U.C.K.S. had, of course "The Next Episode" by Dr. Dre.
Bastian has "Let's Dance" by David Bowie.
Death By Roo Roo has "Princes of the Universe" by Queen.

Show me what you've got! Tanks.

Fwand had "Du Hast" by Rammstein then "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine, correct? Then they had a newer one that I didn't recognize.

Creep will forever have the greatest intro with their choreographed door-swinging rave-up to "If" by Janet Jackson. Man, I miss seeing that.

Stepfathers has "Black Betty" by and then "(Neighborhood whateversmadever) Power Out" by Arcade Fire as their outro/halfway song.

Reuben has..."Life is a Highway" was the halfway song, right....why can't I remember the intro song?

That was the opening theme to "The Green Hornet."

I don't know the title to the other song... DC picked it.

Back when I flipped switches for Ruebin, the intro was "Easy Lover."

The first blackout was "Potholderz" by MF Doom.

Second half intro was an "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" remix by Z-Trip.

I would always play "Quantum Leap" and "The Munsters" themes before the network set.

Oh that's right: fwand had "Bombtrack" for their intro. They have the newer one that's still a mystery.

Edit: So yeah, any and every NYC Harold team goes! Thanks for everything so far.

Didn't The Swarm use "Spirit of Radio" by Rush for a while? I loved that.

I also loved how Police Chief Rumble used to come out to KRS-One's "Sound of the Police." Best debut song ever.

The original cast of the
SHOVES to "Drumline"
w/cartwheels.

YES! BEST INTRO EVER! There has nothing that has ever gotten me more excited than the Shove's intro did. The combination of that intro and then amazing harolds created a Pavlovian response in which watching Tanouye do cartwheels made me salivate.

Jspellz FTW.

I always enjoyed Mailer Daemon's blackout song - "We're From Barcelona," about a year before anyone had heard of the badn I'm From Barcelona. Appel was really on the cutting edge.

1985's last intro song was from the excellent musical "Jesus Christ Superstar," specifically the part in which Pilate is lashing Jesus 39 times.
