Should "thunderstruck" Be Replaced?

jdennis82 · February 15, 2010

if you haven't seen jub jub's ticketstock performance of "party in the usa", here you go.

i pretty sure our guys would be ready to play if this were pumped through the stadium speakers as they ran onto the field.

Great video!!! I think the team would be pumped up to come out to that! only if George would sing it live. Ill see what the team thinks about it!

ah no, way too slow. my ears hurt listening to that wounded dog howling. thunderstruck is so much better.

I don't know. Miley Cyrus is a lot easier on the eyes than Jub Jub.

Any chance we could compromise and have Dunham sing Thunderstruck with some "seriously hot chicks"?

Isn't the new stadium supposed to double as a concert venue? Looks like we have our first performer!

It's days like this Riley is probably happy they didn't have YouTube when his dad used to sing the Spice Girl's "2 Become 1" to fire up his late 90s Keller Fossil Ridge teams.

I'd like to have a music major dress up in the Scrappy outfit and play "Crazy Train".

Got5onIt · February 16, 2010

I say yes. How about a change in music type??? Mystikal's "Round out the Tank" is pretty damn "crunk". I mean most of our players are not caucasion. As a famous GMG poster would say, "I'm not saying, just sayin".

Mystikal??

Mystikal??

If "Round out the Tank" won't hype you up, nothing will.

Mystikal??

Did that Cat just get Tazered?

...and no, leave Thunderstruk alone.

Two years ago I went to a game in Austin and a game in Norman a few weeks apart. The OU intro was fantastic; the UT one had me laughing into my drink while people looked at me disapprovingly.

Yeah, I kind of agree here. The UT animation is pathetically "Money For Nothing"-ish. But, hey...maybe the typical Longhorn fan likes to relive the mid-80s in their video intros.

(Note: Going into the office building today, I saw a Horn douche approaching his 50s wearing an orange pullover with a big Longhorn head on the front. Nice gear...for a kid in junior high school maybe. In the middle of the work day, out of football season, in an office environment...not so much. Perhap, save it for the weekend, dude?)

The Kansas State thing of their helmet smashing the opposing team's helmet is, for my money, forced. This is a stupid gimmick many schools use in football and basketball...unfortunately. In my mind, at a home game, most of the fans in attendance already know which team to cheer for...or, maybe I impute far too much gameday awareness to the average fan.

They changed it at least slightly. I don't know of anyone who has seen that who had anything good to say about it. It's embarassing.

LongJim · February 17, 2010

UNT related, but I've said before that I would like to hear "The Hellion" segue into "Electric Eye" by Judas Priest for UNT's intro. Piped in at maximum volume. No kidding.

GrayEagle · February 17, 2010

In an era where it's hard to ge a consensus on motherhood, apple pie or the Constitution how can we ever agree on introductions? Being an old geezer I'm partial to marches. So put me down for the old German march "Under the Double Eagle."

The Fake Lonnie Finch · February 17, 2010

With Preist, give me Rapid Fire for what would be a loud, thundering intro:

But, what would really be unique - and, as far as I know, untried as of yet - is Rush's YYZ.

Yes.. YYZ IS the master song of them all. ...though Tom Sawyer, if we're gonna go Rush, is probably a little more pump-up-ish? ...and we do have that Von Erich connection at UNT so it sort of works...

I'm afraid if Rush were decided upon, we'd somehow wind up with "The Trees."

Back in high school my tennis doubles partner and I used "Killing in the Name of" as our official entrance music. I can only imagine it would sound even better piped through a legitimate PA system compared to our little CD boom box. I don't mind letting you know it made for one hell of a badass entrance(at least the couple of times it wasn't shut down by a tournament official before hitting the post.) http://www.youtube.c...h?v=fkuOAY-S6OY
