I was thinking we needed something else to debate rather than the regular pissing matches that have become commonplace here lately. So why don't we debate what we think the new intro song should be! My current favorite for this is Believer by Imagine Dragons:


I think the song is pretty good, plus some of the lyrics work with the past 20ish years of performance by the team and RTB:

First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
The way that things have been, oh ooh

Second thing
Second, don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh

First bold lines up with our teams recent history (no National/B1G championships, 13 years of no Axe, etc). Second lines up with RTB.

DEBATE! (please no TC, MC, Prez Kaler, and such pissing matches)
 

We haven't had his thread for a month or two, I suppose it was time to bring it back
 





I'm still on this train. I think this is a damn near perfect song for an intro. It even has a line about "your heads gonna spin" for Goldy.

Lyrics are clean, and the song is 100% positive.

 


Possibly too over the top for the intro song...but maybe a candidate for start of 4th Qtr? Can easily see the student section turn into a mosh pit.

MN Rouser followed by the MN March. Who needs this other crap!
 

"Immigrant song" by Zeppelin. "We come from the last of the ice & snow"... Upbeat, fast passes, gets you pumped up.

Solid. Marching Band has played it so I'm liking it as well.
 





I say poll the players and see what they want. After all we do want them to be motivated.
 


I am not really sure what an "entrance song" even is.

The Marketing/ PR folks put together some video well before the season starts and they use it all the time on the Athletic Websites to promote the football team and football sales. That video has some loud music that is laid in to fit with the images on the big board, and that is what we see and hear when the team is walking from the locker room to the field tunnel, but once they start running out is cuts out and the Band starts playing the rouser on the field.

Starts at 5:50 mark in Orlando The 2014 "entrance video" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp17inxNPlc

This "entrance song" is predetermined and is used the whole year, not selected by some Gameday OPS "DJ" like the end of the 3rd Quarter break is.

For the record, I think the job done on the music selection for the end of quarter has been great going back to the 2nd or 3rd year at TCF. They have done a great job of picking loud, current and classic mixes of hip hop type music that gets all of the students and many of the younger fans up and moving (and a few of us in the 40-50 range). Now that East end is open again for the second year, without the Viking era bleachers, that area is a secondary place where there is a great deal of energy, only second to the student section, especially during the quarter end music part.

WMU came out to Dr.Dre and Snoop Dogg last year.
 

Give me the first 1:21 of this song, especially when it kicks in at 1:06.

 

This seems more apropos for the Vikings......but a classic none the less

 

The NBA on CBS used to use this for their entrance song (selected parts) and I always thought it was awesome!

 

This would be my choice

 

I'll add a few more...I know Enter Sandman has been used many times but seems ripe for an entrance song. Any of these Metallica songs would work...

Time to put all the Metallica and Guns and Roses songs to bed. Time for something jack up the crowd and even wake all the white hairs from their naps.

Any Tool or Disturbed will do.

PJ seems to be a pretty big fan of Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis.

Not really a good intro song though, but warmups I bet we hear it a lot. He already did it at the spring game and made it a part of the WMU tradition.
 

the only way to judge any of these songs is to listen to them without watching the images. and they all fail at that. the correct song:


edit: i love the smell of pigskin in the morning

It would be sacrilege to have the Chicago Blackhawks goal song be our entrance song
