Jock Rock for KU game....pumped up kicks

**Shinyhappyclone** · 10-30-2011, 09:49 PM

OK, The guy who runs the big music box at Jack Trice, here is what you are going to do:
--No warm-up thug rap please. You can play some 1980's fat boys or maybe even some MC Hammer too legit to quit. Just kidding, but to play the absolute CRAP that they play pre-game has gotten offensive to me. The story I hear is they just carte blanche broadcast the player's request "becuase it gets them pumped up" or whatever. Put something on the air that is mildly, tangibly popular.

--Smoke on the Water is cool for the beginning of intro, but it has not crescendo, no climax. I keep waiting for more. It is 2011, and I know we have had the technology to mix music since, oh, 1915 or so. Please mix Smoke into something a little more rousing, please.

--Sweet Caroline will continue to be banned until 10 minutes after the victory.

--It would be good to hear some more original scores.....I hear the same "Ohhhhhh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ohhhhhhh" bass riff at about three different games this year (different schools) AND on television games too(anyone know this riff? It is annoyingly catchy). These schools all copy each other, and ISU seems hell bent on being a copy cat instead of an orignator.
I suggest "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People for end of third quarter this game....that song is freaking infectious...I can't get it out of my head.

--No more "Cyclone, First down!!!!" thing. DUMB!!!!!!!!

--More cow bell.

No "Pumped Up Kicks" please. It gets played enough all over the radio, and its not even a good song. Especially not for a football stadium.

I think a little Slayer in the pre-game would get in the opponents heads

**Rogue52** · 10-30-2011, 10:02 PM

To answer your question...

The song is Zombie Nation by Kernkraft 400

**EZpickins** · 10-30-2011, 10:02 PM

Horrible song! Singing about shooting kids, yea that pumps me up

. Much, much better options.

**Shinyhappyclone** · 10-30-2011, 10:03 PM

Didn't someone from ISU football team play in Slipknot?

I am sticking by bass riff of Pumped Up Kicks....I think the silent majority and the students are with me.
