OT(?) - Which song should RichRod have picked?
It's past noon on Friday, so honestly, who's working at this point? On to a really important topic as we contemplate the coaching direction of Michigan football: What song should Rodriguez have picked to feature at the Football Bust? Maybe Bon Jovi, Livin' on a Prayer, a Big House favorite? Perhaps DB could have followed that with Won't Get Fooled Again? What song should be featured at next year's Bust (hosted by Coach X)? I welcome your views.

Of course anything by Morrissey
December 3rd, 2010 at 1:44 PM ^
musical preferences, but this is a song I think of after last night's meltdown..
December 3rd, 2010 at 1:48 PM ^

Baby Got Back by Richard Cheese.

Maybe "Ceiling Unlimited" by Rush for Denard?

"In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains"
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:02 PM ^
that's one of the best lyrics in music history
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:54 PM ^
...when Simon & Garfunkel get to the part about visiting "whores on Seventh Avenue" and taking "some comfort" there, things might get a bit sketchy for a football banquet.
Still, +1 for use a great song, along with the nice Van Halen avatar.
December 3rd, 2010 at 1:56 PM ^
He should have just played Inspectah Deck's opening verse in Triumph by Wu-Tang Clan. Not that it's relevant or anything--it's just amazing.
December 3rd, 2010 at 1:57 PM ^
"O Lets Do It" by Waka Flocka.
While the song is played, a puff of smoke appears on stage and Demar Dorsey floats down from the heavens in a full Michigan uniform with pads and starts dancing.
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:15 PM ^
get on that bus.
December 3rd, 2010 at 1:58 PM ^
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away, know when to run
You never count your money, when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done.
Or throw everyone off with a Disney song like "A Whole New World"
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

It was on MGoMix for 2010 and it encapsulates the same emotions:
Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door
Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more
His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor
Mama's thinking family dinners weren't too much to ask for
Everybody here's got a story to tell
Everybody's been through their own hell
There's nothing too special about getting hurt
Getting over it, that takes the work
Cause one way or another, we'll all need each other
Nothing's gonna turn out the way you thought it would
But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover
Cause everything comes out the way it should
Blessed are the hungry, blessed are the week
Blessed are the humble, blessed are the meek
Blessed are the ones on the other side
Blessed are we for just being alive
One day I stopped wanting anything at all
The heavens opened up like a waterfall
No use in worrying about when it ends
Just for now be thankful for what i get
Cause one way or another, a man's gonna suffer
It makes no difference the way you wanted it
But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover
Cause everything comes out the way it should in the end
Seems like life is a palindrome
You cry when you die, you cry when you're born
In between it's all about the ups and downs
Add 'em all together, they cancel each other out
Cause one way or another
One way or another
You won't get what you wanted
You'll get enough, for sure
One way or another
Winter pays for the summer
Won't get what you wanted
What you got'll be good
Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door
Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more
His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor
Mama's thinking happy endings weren't too much to ask for
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:01 PM ^
Rod gets knocked down, but he gets up again.
You're never gonna keep him down.
He'll be singing, when he's winning, he'll be singing.

The Doors - Alabama Song (for Dee... too soon?)
Well, show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find
The next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why
Queen - We are the Champions (seriously this one fits):
I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions

Put on your yalmulka, here comes hanukkah
Its so much fun-akkah to celebrate hanukkah,
Hanukkah is the festival of lights,
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.
When you feel like the only kid in town without a x-mas tree, heres a list of
People who are jewish, just like you and me:
David lee roth lights the menorrah,
So do james caan, kirk douglas, and the late dinah shore-ah
Guess who eats together at the karnickey deli,
Bowzer from sha-na-na, and arthur fonzerrelli.
Paul newmans half jewish; goldie hawns half too,
Put them together--what a fine lookin' jew! [esus]
You don't need deck the halls or jingle bell rock
Cause you can spin the dreidl with captain kirk and mr. spock--both jewish!
[esus]
Put on your yalmulka, it's time for hanukkah,
The owner of the seattle super sonic-ahs celebrates hanukkah.
O.j. simpson-- not a jew!
But guess who is...hall of famer¡ºrod carew--(he converted!)
We got ann landers and her sister dear abby,
Harrison fords a quarter jewish--not too shabby!
Some people think that ebeneezer scrooge is,
Well, he's not, but guess who is:all three stooges. [esus]
So many jews are in show biz--
Tom cruise isn¹t, [tacit] but I heard his agent is. [esus]
Tell your friend veronica, it's time you celebrate hanukkah
I hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, lovely hanukkah.
So drink your gin-and-tonic-ah, and smoke your mara-juanic-ah,
If you really, really wanna-kah, have a happy, happy, happy, happy
Hanukkah¡ ¡ . happy hanukka!

This was the first thing that popped into my head too. I would have loved to see him dance to this song while pointing to MSM folks in the room.
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:24 PM ^
by Metallica would have been appropriate and awesome....
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:32 PM ^
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:40 PM ^
Livin' on a Prayer comes to mind as well....i think all of us feel that way...we're half way there...got the offense... now just need to improve the defense!
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:46 PM ^
Given the overall context and team unity section - Lean on Me. It worked for USC didn't it?

....and believe I can fly.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16FdJrrAWSo
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
Hey, cause I believe in me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God
I don't know but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dogs, no smog
And Rita cooked a breakfast with no hog
I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
Finally got a call from a 5 star that doesn't want to bail out
Hooked it up on later as I hit the do'
Thinking will i work, another twenty-fo'
I gotta go cause I got me a drop top
And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop
Had to stop at a red light
Looking in my mirror not a journalist in sight
And everything is alright
I got a beep from Gibsons wife and she can fuck all night
Called up the homies and I'm askin y'all
Which park, are y'all playin basketball?
Get me on the court and I'm trouble
Last week fucked around and got a triple double
Freaking niggaz everyway like M.J.
I can't believe, today was a good day
Drove to the pad and hit the showers
Didn't even get no static from bloggers
Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me
Saw the Freep and they rolled right past me
No flexin, didn't even look in a niggaz direction
as I stretched another 20 seconds
Went to T Clem's house, they was watchin D cone rap
What's the haps on the craps
Shake em up, shake em up, shake em up, shake em
Roll em in a circle of niggaz and watch me break em
With the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven
Seven even back do' lil Joe I picked up the cash flow
Then we played bones, and DB's yellin Dominos.
Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A.
Today was a good day...
Hey wait, wait a minute Pooh
Stop the shit
What the fuck am I thinking about?

Some want his career alive at Michigan and some want it dead
It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive

Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It’s the, eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger…
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger…
Risin’ up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

Rollins Band - Hotter and Hotter
Yea I'm running hot
I'm running hot
I'm running hotter and hotter and hotter
As the years go by I can't deny the flame that burns inside me
Many times I wonder why I still act the same way
Something burning inside, I get hotter and hotter
Got green lights standing in my way
Hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter, oh Yeah I refuse, I refuse
To standing around being abused
I'm already gone when you turn your head
Don't point your finger of blame
You see me burning like the sun in your eyes
And you want to slow down but I just have to fly
I'm hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter as the days go on, man
Hotter and hotter
As the days go on
Year after year after year after year
I'm on fire
You can't stop me
No need, no need to ever burn out. I'm scorching and torching no time for front porching.
Hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter... and hotter
Hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter
The days go on and the years go by and I'm hotter and hotter and flying on by
Better looking less of same I'm on my way to up the road to the next thing
You see me burning hotter and hotter and the years go by
You wonder to yourself how come that man hasn't burned out
Don't ask me why
Got green lights in front of me
Getting hotter and hotter you see
Hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter...oh yea
Hotter and hotter and hotte and hotter and hotter you see
Hotter and hotter and hotte and hotter and hotter you see
Gasoline for breakfast, Napalm for lunch
Hotter and hotter and hotte and hotter and hotter... yea ... yea ... yea

Five Finger Death Punch - Bulletproof
You can take the money, you can take the ride
You can take it all but never get inside
You can't take my honor, you can't take my soul
You can't take the fact you'll never have control
[Chorus:]
You won't break me, no matter how hard you try
You can't shake me down, I'm fucking bulletproof
All Ive learned, it's like poison
All I've known, inside my mind
All I've seen, it's like venom
All I know, it's all that remains
You can keep the fortune and you can have the fame
You can have the shit you never will obtain
But you can't take my virtue, no you can't take my pride
You can't take the anger building up inside
[Chorus x2]
All I've learned, it's like poison
All I've known, inside my mind
All I've seen, it's like venom
All I know, it's all that remains
