Except it's a corny *** rap.

Doesn't matter. Do you watch any other venue? What gets crowds fired up? What does KU do at Allen Fieldhouse? We have the speakers that can play bass heavy songs, why not get the beat going...

This, it is not a difficult decision. Tech N9ne and 816 Boyz wrote this specifically for Iowa State. Why not include something that still has the siren effect.

They'd have to cut out the "RAH RAH RAH with Paul Rhoads" part.

After going through 5 pages of suggestions all I have to say is that a lot of people have some weird music tastes when it comes to intro or something that will "pump up the crowd." No to anything AC/DC or Metallica, too many people already do Enter Sandman or Thunderstruck so we'd just be another copycat on songs that are already overdone. The only one so far I could even get behind would be "Comin Thru" as no one else has anything like that and it has the type of intro and beat that you'd look for in an entrance song.

I honestly don't have any songs that come to mind at the moment to suggest but I think nearly all of the suggestions so far are actually worse than Smoke On The Water as far as an entrance song goes or not copying what someone else is already using.

There is a large number of sports venues in this country. If we rule everything out that someone has done before there would be nothing left.

This is like the episode of South park where Butters is trying to come up with a nefarious plan but everything he thinks up the Simpsons already did.

Re: With smoke on the water now allegedly dead, what would you like the new intro son

During the intro video, we need to have this quote read aloud and overlayed,

"The honor of my race, family & self is at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will. My whole body and soul are to be thrown recklessly about the field tomorrow. Every time the ball is snapped, I will be trying to do more than my part. On all defensive plays I must break through the opponents' line and stop the play in their territory. Beware of mass interference. Fight low, with your eyes open and toward the play. Watch out for crossbucks and reverse end runs. Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good."

-Jack Trice before the game against Minnesota.

It should be something that the team decides on. The entrance song should appeal to the team and recruits, not 30-40 year old CF demographic. Do we really think AC/DC and Metallica gets the players pumped up? Honestly if it is a song I know, it probably shouldnt be it.
My brother went to an LSU game and was telling me about some song the team went absolutely crazy for. It is dumb and 99% of CF would hate it, but it got their players jacked and that is what the entrance song should be. (Not saying we should use this song, but proving the point that it should be one that resonates with the players not us)

I heard this a while back and thought it might have potential. Take It All - Pop Evil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BDe8FkQ-o4

Maybe a touch slower tempo than ideal, but has a good "driving" rock beat, is newer, lyrically relevant, and clean (doubt JP would endorse anything explicit to be the identity of the football team).
