What the PA Needs To Play: New Tunes

by StrangeBroP25 on Dec 22, 2009 1:17 PM PST

So in the comments section of Bolts and Dolts for the Cincinnati game, a bunch of us were going on about how they played "Bro Hymn" by Pennywise, which got the crowd seriously going bananas. Then we started kvetching about how they played "Sweet Caroline", and I put together an entire playlist based on individual players, units, and songs that would just be great to pump up the fans.

Offensive unit: "And The Cradle Will Rock..." by Van Halen. This could also be before kickoffs.

PR17: "Modern Day Cowboy" by Tesla

LT: “Run, Run, Run” by the Who

Sproles: “Fox On The Run” by Sweet

Gates: “Fly Like An Eagle” by the Steve Miller Band

V-Jack: “Godzilla” by Blue Öyster Cult

Floyd: “Swagger” by Flogging Molly. I don’t know, something about his playing style and this song both suggest a bar fight in my mind.

Naanee: “Shaking The Tree” by Peter Gabriel, featuring Yossou N’Dour. I chose this purely because of the Nigerian guest singer.

Kaeding: “Strike Like Lightning” by Lonnie Mack

Robopunter: “ME-262” by BÖC— play the bridge with dropping bombs.

Defensive unit: We'll keep "Seek & Destroy". That's pretty much the best song they play on a regular basis.

Luis Castillo: "Ay Doctor" by Maná

Vaughn Martin: "Brutal" by Black Uhuru

Eric Weddle: "Boom" by P.O.D.

Jammer: "Rocker" by AC/DC

Cro: "Shoot You In The Back" by Motorhead

Front seven: "Wave of Mutilation" by the Pixies

Before kick returns: "Smokin'" by Boston (I can't stand Lenny Kravitz.)

Before kickoffs: Ozzy will do.

For the crowd:

"Oi! Oi! Oi!" by the Cockney Rejects

"Chelsea Dagger" or "Flathead" by the Fratellis

"The Boys Are Back In Town" by Thin Lizzy

"Baba O'Riley" by the Who

"Hells Bells" by AC/DC (if only we could find someone as iconic as Trevor Hoffman to play it for)

"Feed My Frankenstein" by Alice Cooper

And I'm out of ideas. Anyone want to help me out on these?

Hells Bells would be SIC

to pump up the fans. That song probably means something to everyone in the stadium, I think they’d all go nuts; I know I would

Could also do "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)" by Pat Travers

Oh yeah, that is a good one.

I’ve been aware of Maiden for some time but never really listened to them— I’m not much of a metalhead. The guy who sits next to me at the stadium is of the firm opinion that “The Trooper” should be played for LT. Me, I don’t see it.
