I've got a feelin'.... that
For those of you who were at Kinnick last year, you were unfortunately subjected to this f*cking song over and over. It was explained to me that Penn State used the song during the UI/PSU game so they decided to use it (hogwash and it would not make it right if that was the case), regardless, I thought that tragic experience was behind me. HOWEVER, I live in the Iowa City area with two daughters that listen to the local pop stations and that song has resurfaced from the dead for repeated play this week. I thought the first time was an anomaly, but it has snowballed as the week has progressed, punishing me as I am driving my kids to their various activities.
Enough of my bitching. When I hear that song and I think of the association to that Iowa game, I get a feelin' that I want to plunge a phillips head screwdriver into my right ear to end the pain. What you feelin' does the MGoBlog get?

That Saturday is going to be a good night.
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:47 PM ^
I'm hooked on a feeling.
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:11 PM ^
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:32 PM ^
And throw away the OT, forever.
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:45 PM ^
I'm not 100% opposed to piped in music at Michigan Stadium (mostly because I love AC/DC), but consider me Mr. Traditional if they ever play this dorky song before, during, or after a Michigan game...especially during next year's Notre Dame game.

September 2nd, 2010 at 3:47 PM ^
most overplayed POS I remember recently. The black eyed peas are garbage
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:10 PM ^
amen!
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:22 PM ^
I liked that song a lot less before I heard how/why will.i.am wrote it. Which gets into politics so I will leave it to interested parties to google.
That, and some funny "one-take" videos that film students have set to it, make it bearable. Even enjoyable.
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:30 PM ^
Their new stuff is garbage, but Where Is The Love is top 5 all time for me. Love that song.
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:48 PM ^
I've got a feelin' that our Maize and Blue is going to show the country that we are back this season and a team that will contend for the BCS in 2011
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:50 PM ^
California girls
We're unforgettable

So hot
We'll melt your Popsicle
Oooooh oh oooooh
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:59 PM ^
Katy Perry definitely melts my popsicle...unless popsicle is a metaphor for something else...in which case she definitely does the OPPOSITE of that.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:01 PM ^
EDIT: Double post. My bad, dawgs.
So, I will give you a joke to atone for my sins. Enjoy.
"My job is so unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:
First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe.
The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat.
But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the damn stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big dog to work. Every day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonald's and Burger King, every single bloody day.
Anyway, I drive these folks around in my van and we solve mysteries and stuff."

Swing and a miss...
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:13 PM ^
Well done, sir. Your Scoobie Doo joke more than made up for your double post sin. Also, smart choice in make the joke pre-Scrappy Doo and not including him. That guy sucked.
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:30 PM ^
neg for you wearing and orange ascot
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:51 PM ^
Is this the Beatles song? No other song can have this name.
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:53 PM ^
Ya, I was at that Iowa game with incredible seats (about 10 feet away from Mrs. RichRod and children and two rows off the field) and it still really stings me.
That should have been a "good night" for us! But instead I still have nightmares about that game ending pick.
I can't wait to start the revenge tour through the Big Ten. We got to get some kinda even this year!
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:54 PM ^
I would not be opposed to piping in "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" after every UM sack this year
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:01 PM ^
that makes one of us
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:14 PM ^
I, however, would oppose it vociferously. That would be very MSU-ish.
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:55 PM ^
I hate that song too, but not because of any bad memories... just because it's a terrible song.
I used to be able to tolerate the Black Eyed Peas, but they absolutely suck now. Ever since watching the Cracked "Hate By Numbers" video on I've got a feelin', I become a red-hot ball of rage every time one of their songs comes on the radio.
September 2nd, 2010 at 3:59 PM ^
The song is acceptable but I'd be more comfortable with Don't Stop Believin'
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:12 PM ^
gross. I was gonna say that is the 2nd most overrated song behind the Black Eyed Peas' one
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:16 PM ^
Were you being sarcastic? You must have been, because that would be the absolute worst thing ever. That song is for teams that are hoping for their "dream season" - like Boise state during their first really good year, or Utah.
No thanks.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:38 PM ^
"Don't Stop Believing" is a mystery to me. How could one song from 1981 all of a sudden make a break through the last five years or so? What a shitty song. I want to jam a pencil in my eardrum when I hear drunk chicks at the bar sing it as if it's the greatest song ever written.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:49 PM ^
The only real reason I'd be opposed to hearing Don't Stop Believing in Michigan Stadium is because it is overplayed so much. I really think it's a pretty good song, it's just so popular that it can get annoying.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:57 PM ^
completely agree. Journey is just awful, maybe people like it because it says Detroit
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:35 PM ^
Check that, South Detroit. As in...Windsor? Perhaps you meant Downriver? Weak, Journey, weak.
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:15 PM ^
Didn't it appear on the finale of The Sopranos? I think that marked its reappearance in pop culture.
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
I'm pretty sure that's when it began its comeback. I was already very sick of it by that point.
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:21 PM ^
Blame it on these kids.
And for the record, I liked their version of the song. Yeah, you can take away my man card for that. I don't need it anymore.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:00 PM ^
Possibly the lowest moment in my Michigan Stadium experiences was hearing "Sweet Caroline" blaring over the loudspeakers at some game last year. Never again.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:13 PM ^
and that brings us to the 3rd most overrated song ever...
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:06 PM ^
That was opening day against WMU.
Great song. But ALL wrong for a stadium of 110,000 football fans.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:31 PM ^
That if I had started this thread, my MGoPoints would be around -74 by now.
Oh, and that tomorrow is going to be a long, long night.... due to the inability to get to sleep.
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:37 PM ^
September 2nd, 2010 at 4:37 PM ^
Well I've got a fever.
And the only perscription is more cowbell.
September 2nd, 2010 at 5:47 PM ^
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:51 PM ^
...played this at all of their games last year. They made it to the state semis, so we heard it a lot. It seemed to fit Friday night lights, but Big Ten Saturdays? I don't think so.
