Intro songs - instead of Zombie Nation

Submitted by R_mahorn1974 on
What songs would be cool to play before games to get the crowd pumped? My vote goes to: Smoke on the water. or.. Modest mouse- float on?

If you're going to please the alumni, play the Happy Days theme. If you want to rev the crowd, Welcome to the Jungle, followed by Woman by WOLFMOTHER.

Bawitdaba. Local flavor, drunk people love screaming the chorus over and over. It has a good explosion moment when the bass kicks in right when they run out of the tunnel.

Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley. Why break one record every Saturday when we can break two? It'll be the largest single rickroll anywhere in the world.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I know, anything by Barry Manillow would be great but if they could play "Looks Like We Made It", I think I would probably just have to have a good cry right after it. SARCASM. I think that "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns and Roses would be good.

Maybe Electric Light Orchestra or perhaps some Chicago with that sweet brass section. Yeah, nothing gets my blood pumping more than hearing a song about hot dog vendors in downtown...

...are actually the best ones IMO, since at least they give options that nobody else is doing*. M Fanfare and The Victors are something unique to Michigan, meant to uniquely fire Michigan fans up before the game. Whatever canned music they come up with will probably be something that somebody else uses in a pathetic attempt to get them fired up, which will make it lame. Like Orange Bowl halftime/Munn Ice Arena lame.


* But since canned music is inevitable, we should get some Lil' Wayne up in this ho.

You're right, it is inevitable. I'm already anxiously awaiting revisiting the thread about the appropriateness of the music played at the spring game. Only this time it will be twice as entertaining when Flo-Rida and Lil Wayne get played during a regular season game.

made me vomit in my mouth so hard it squirted out between my teeth. There comes a time when even sarcasm needs to be put down like a sick dog...

My totally non-ironic suggestion, assuming that I'm not allowed to say The Victors, is Meshuggah - Concatenation. Pretty much because it makes me want to stab people in the liver like I'm Bas Rutten and listen to it while I go out for sprints.

Ain't Nothin" Ta Fuck Wit-Wu-Tang Clan (It references Quarterback sacks and sleepy hollow) Superfly-Curtis Mayfield (Because the intro is funky as ish and "the game he plays he plays for keeps." chorus.) Parabola-Tool (Because that song always makes me want to punch through a dirty window in an abandoned warehouse.)

Thunderstruck, welcome to the jungle, enter sandman, hells bells, way too many teams use those. even my idea, sirius, is used by nebraska, and the chicago bulls. I'm gonna look though my ipod...
