Super Bowl XLVII walk out music

[neuronet]

You have touched a sore point there, one about which I have a confession to make to the Board.

You see, I went out and bought Queen's "We are the Champions," put it in my CD player before the game and was planning to crank it up at ceiling- and floor-shaking volume (I have a very high end audio system with a subwoofer that should probably be illegal in apartment buildings) after the Pats won SB XLII so my Manhattan neighbors "got the point."

To this day, I personally blame myself for the loss of that game. Had I not shown such arrogant overconfidence before the contest, I have no doubt that David Tyree would never have trapped that %$^&**^%$#@ ball against his helmet.

It's my fault.

I also confess that I took the foil off the neck of a bottle of Vintage DP when Keith Hernandez made the second out in the bottom of the 10th of Game Six of the 1986 World Series. What happened thereafter was my fault too. (I never popped the bottle and tossed it a month later, unable to bring myself to drink it.)

The two darkest moments in recent Boston Sports history. Both on me.

Good to see a true Boston sports fan here.

XLII is also my wife's fault, as she refused to take off the shirt covering her too-tight Pat Patriot t-shirt during the game, thereby offending the ghost of Pat Patriot.

heh...sounds like YOU are a Lou Reed "Vicious" fan after that post....

Violence by Mott the Hoople would be a nice second choice.

I was in Queens and already smoking a victory cigar. Turns out I was less pulling a Red Auerbach than pulling a Rex Ryan.

I suggest U2's "It's a Beautiful Day" to harness some 2001 magic.

If you believe that nonsense then you are both idiots. Obviously it was my cursed key chain in 42 and my cursed stocking cap in 46.

I'd like Celo Green's F**k You.

As a Giants fan I would love to see another superbowl rematch between the Patriots and Giants. The past two games easily provided the most memorable sporting moments in my life. I think both the Patriots and Giants have a great chance to make it back to the big dance this year.

As a Pats fan I would hope that if it happens that THIS time they'll run the ball more. That was our best chance in a while and they went pass-happy against a team that seemed weak against the run, and we did it both times against the Giants.

That being said, the Giants certainly earned the two SB wins against us. The way they went after us in the last game in 2007, even though the game meant nothing to them, was one of the main reasons that they ended up winning the SB.

Music?! You kidding me? Music? I'm talking about winning a game.

And before training camp we should discuss.., um..., Welkers's contract?

The Who's "Who are you?" (Aww, who the F**k are you?)

Or go classical with Also Sprach Zarathrusta (2001 space odyssey) or Ride of the Valkeries (apocalypse now helicopters) .

Or go jazz with Miles Davis's "So What?" although that is a "too cool to run: Just jog and so what will YOU do about it?"

I still like Celo Green's "F**k You", although "So What" better fits.

(No link to Celo Green or the Who because this board might have kids on it and Heaven knows they NEVER swore before. )

 

[lurker1965]

OK, here is an idea:

All year they announce a special teams unit (to be different) who come out to The Who "Who are you?" with the "Aww, who the heck are you," at the end.

Then at the Super bowl, if they make it, they announce a special teams unit ("Up Back Joe Schmo") who come out to the "F**k are you version." If they get in trouble they can claim an intern screwed up the music and got the more common version to try and cover his screw up because he did not know there are two versions. (The song came out about twenty years before he was born.)

If we're playing the Gintz again, I'd love to hear "Empire State of Mind," but not the hook, the part where Jay Z is talking about all the farmers daughters who want to be actresses turning tricks and stuff like that.
