All I know is Bitter Sweet Symphony blowwwwwwwwwssssssssss
I like the song, but it was cool when it came out and maybe the following 5 years after. I think it's definitely getting outdated. Much like Queen "we are the champions". The way i see it, even if a song is meaningless (much the like the one I posted above). You need something to hype the team up and the crowd up. As another poster wrote, it is VERY difficult to appeal to the diverse crowd of cultures, backgrounds, generations, etc.
i.e. someone wrote I need something harder than rap like "Here comes the boom", where as someone like myself would hear that song and think "not hard, just more crazy white boy music". Doesn't make either us wrong, hell a lot of MMA fighters come out to that song hyped up.
One reason why I like Hip Hop and Rap is...you know what pumps up the crowd more than anything? when the team starts dancing and bouncing around. I think it's safe to say about 90% of the team are black guys in their early 20s who get hyped from Lil Jon, Rick Ross, and Drake (despite how much I hate the song 'Started from the Bottom'). I don't see the players ever dancing to 'here comes the boom', 'Bitter Sweet Symphony', but I sure do see them bouncing around to 'Get Outta your Mind' and 'These Haters can't hold me back'. And once they start going, it's no doubt the crowd starts pumping even more right after.
Regardless, I really do hope to see some new music clips being used this year. Past 2 years haven't changed much. As much as I like macklemore, even his clip for TDs I feel is outdated now (that is the problem with Pop, rap, and hip hop music though as others have said, these song's do not stay over time which is probably why the Yankee's play Frank Sinatra's New York during a win and not Jay Z's (despite how big it was for that 2-3 year period).
p.s. Could you imagine if they just take that 2 second audio clip of Lil Jon saying/screaming "Turn down for what?!?" and used it whenever the crowd just needed a queue to get loud. PERFECT!
