Victory Song

[2clones4cy]

Do we really have a victory song? Or a song that should be played after every home game win. I know we have Sweet Caroline but that usually gets played during the game or in between the 3rd and 4th qtr. Granted we need to start winning more games to make this possible but was curious to some thoughts. I will throw out the recommendation of Van Halen's(Hagar) Standing on Top of the World! Heard this playing after the Super Bowl and thought it would fit perfectly at the end of the game.

if you compare to what other schools have, ours would be The Bells of Iowa State.

" Walk All Over You"-AC/DC, or maybe "Smack My B**** Up"- The Prodigy.

Almost anything would be better than Sweet Caroline.

Bells of ISU gets played win or lose... I think the OP is thinking of something right after time expires, which is usually Sweet Caroline.

"Roll Out The Barrel" is used after basketball games last I checked...

I guess there is the obvious choice.

The song is never played after the games. They seem to play it at the 8 or 4 minute timeout in the second half.

You are correct. My memory is getting a little fuzzy! I got that tradition mixed up with "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang.

They should get some Rhinestone Cowboy going.

Another One Bites the Dust, Winning Ugly, Playing to Win, I'm Gonna Win, etc. etc.

CMC needs to rid us of the sweet caroline curse.

I hate Sweet Caroline. There has never been a more unfootball song, and of course that's our freeking schtick.

 

[CarlHungus]

This uplifting tune about masochism would be a good one to keep the crowds spirits high after a win. Plus a little Rammstein is good for the soul

 

[CarlHungus]

Or if we wanted to go with a more hip-hop vibe, a little Ol' Dirty would get the crowd going

I know I'm in the minority, but I love Sweet Caroline. Maybe it's because I'm embracing the idea I'm middle aged. I don't know - but the song makes me feel good. And I love hearing it in the background of post-game interviews after a big win.

I think the folks in charge have done a good job of making compromises and a good job of listening to feedback from the fanbase. Remember when they would play the entire song at the 3rd-4th quarter break? (Or at least it was the only song played during that break.) Last year they would play maybe 30 seconds of it and then 30 seconds of a high energy song. It seemed like a good compromise to me.

On the other hand, here's something that would be better than Sweet Caroline: get some talented ISU musicians to create a modern celebration song unique to ISU. How hard could it be to make our equivalent of John Denver's Country Roads? (Sarcasm, but also a little bit serious.)

GWAR could also be good victory music

Perhaps some Mastodon would ignite the masses

The more Mastodon I hear, the more I like.

I'm the exact opposite.
