Calling all Survivor TV show fans, a music related question!

Infogrames (now called "Wizard Works") had released a Survivor PC game quite some time ago. I own that PC game, but almost all of the MP3 music that is on that CD is *NOT* from the TV series. All but one of the MP3 music files on that game CD sound like they were created strictly for the PC game.

That being said, if you surf to Wizard Works FTP site here -> ftp://ftp.wizworks.com/mp3/survivor , they have MP3 music files available for download. These MP3 files are *NOT* the ones that are included on the Survivor PC game CD, and sound to me like *ACTUAL* Survivor TV show music.

I was wondering if anyone might know exactly what season of Survivor that those MP3 files that are on that FTP site were from?

One noteable MP3 file on that site that might help determine which season that the MP3 files are from is this one -> ftp://ftp.wizworks.com/mp3/survivor/12.mp3 ... *THAT* song sounds quite out of place for the Survivor TV show series, as it is a *BLUEGRASS/COUNTRY* song 🤣!

But... I myself remember one of the recent seasons of Survivor (within the past few years or so), that one of the "challenge" songs that was playing in the background during the show was *INDEED* a Bluegrass song. I even remember thinking to myself at the time that the song sounded sort of out of place for Survivor 🤣!

Anyhow, would anyone happen to have any idea of exactly what Survivor season that those MP3 files are from?

Not a Survivor fan here, but try playing them through your computer and using a recent Shazam app on a smartphone/tablet/etc. to identify. Reason is that Shazam has recently started to identify television shows (to the episode) when listened to.

Not sure that it will work for shows not currently airing though.

I probably won't be a lot of help, but I did watch all seasons and all survivor episodes up till last week's. The only time I can think of this type of music would play would be during the challenges where they had to catch pigs in a pen (this happened in two seasons if i'm right) or an episode where they had to catch chicken (1 season).

Thanks for the info, but unfortunately I don't own any of those devices.

Thanks for the info 😀 Those challemges do jar my memory, I'll do a bit of Googling 😀

Did you catch the season finale this past Sunday? If not, do you want a spoiler (the winner of this past season)?

OK... it's even more of a mystery as to exactly which CD that those MP3 files on that FTP site are from.

After Googling for I DON'T KNOW *HOW MANY* HOURS, I came across this (which I now *definitely* remember). From Survivor Season 24 "One World", Episode 11 "Never Say Die":

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"There’s a lengthy Keystone Kops chase where they try and circle the pig and rope it and corral it. The Survivor editors throw in the classic these-guys-are-a-bunch-of-morons hillbilly banjo music playing in the background."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

...and this:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"If you go to russ landaus album "out takes" the song "yodel joe" is the song that they played in one world when the cast were chasing both the chickens and the pig."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Surfing to this page -> http://www.allsongsby.com/artist/russ-landau/2521318 has this audio preview for "Yodel Joe" -> http://a1773.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/008/Mu … ovfek.aac.p.m4a .

According to Russ Landau's Facebook fan page here -> https://www.facebook.com/russ.landau.music/info , the "Yodel Joe" song is track 24 on his "Out Takes" CD (released on May 6, 2008).

I also had a look at the CD track listing for his "Survivor One World Soundtrack" CD (released August on 25, 2012)

The thing is, there are only 28 tracks on the "Out Takes" CD, and only 27 tracks on the "Survivor One World Soundtrack" CD... yet at the above-linked FTP site ( ftp://ftp.wizworks.com/mp3/survivor ) there are *31* MP3 files. Not to mention, "Yodel Joe" is "12.mp3" at that MP3 site.

So... who the hell knows which CD that the MP3s are from, I sure don't 🤣! 😀
