Band needs to learn Mexican hat dance

Makes me think I should have been persistent with my German cheer for Knoepfli. ::nut::

[q] It is the band's decision to play it, and I trust their judgment.[/q]Yes, all hail the all knowing, benevolent band!

If I don't like the damn song I'll say so. Of course we should live with it, because the alternative would be either suicide or going over and beating the crap out of the conductor when he starts MM. Neither is a very pleasant option...

That would be helpful to Cornell as well as providing a positive form of anger management.

To be fair, Straight Disco can also suck literally.

Hey,
I arranged Macho Man, jackasses.

And I sent the band another cheersheet last week with Disco Duck, It's Raining Men, Louie Louie, In the Navy, and the Macarena about a week ago. I talked to Freddy Jackson (current director) the other day and he assures me that they'll be ready and played for the playoffs, so there's your new music you pissy whiners.

Now go back to arguing about whether the old school or new school cowbell guy beats it harder.

That's the best inside joke I've seen in years. :-D

The definitive version of It's Raining Men will always be the Touchtones', in my book.

"KABOOM!"

Well that was appropriate...

Just saw a Burger King commercial with guys sitting around humming/singing Rock 'n' Roll Part II, and one guy breaks into Macho Man... the others are just sitting around staring at him oddly, doing the "cut it out"/symbol.

So, there's proof that Macho Man is universally recognized as a less than masculine/tough song.

Just funny they should have that commercials just days after this thread.

It's even funnier (or ironic, I guess) because the founder of Burger King is a Cornell graduate (John McLamore '42).

Ew. I would happily have gone my whole life without knowing that.

Hey, at least it beats McDonald's.

I don't know if this should warrant it's own thread but...

Why couldn't we find new words for the family guy theme, it seems very much like a hey baby type song.

I've been playing around with some things in my head, and it could work...

ex. "it seems today that all we see is goals by moulson and saves by mckee"

But I don't know what to devote the rest of the tune to, maybe "penalty guy", making light of O'Byrne's affinity for the sin bin

Mickey D's has better fries, Chicken McNuggets, and Shamrock Shakes. But In-n-Out blow them both away.

I don't know if we should have a song devoted to a guy who routinely spends time in the penalty box every game.

Anyway, here's my version, in "honor" of a character we all know and love, starting with oceanst41's first two lines:

It seems today that all you see
Is goals by Moulson and saves by McKee
But where are those good ol' fashioned assholes
Whom we used to deny?
Lucky there's an ugly sweater guy
Lucky there's a man who
Positively can do
All the things that make us
Dance and sigh!
He's an ugly sweater guy!

Note: I really don't want these lyrics to happen at games, if only because it will help Macho Man achieve immortal status. :-P

In-n-Out is hella overrated.
