Thunderstruck

[cycloneworld]

Jeez, some people going on a dislike streak because people don't like a song from 1990 to be our entrance music...

I thought something a little newer would be better but oh well. Maybe:

 

[HardcoreClone]

I really don't think this is the song. But if it is, no problem with it.

 

[ShopTalk]

First old people ruin Facebook and now the entrance song.

Wut? Without old people there are no young people - only clones and AI and they don't know music.

 

[Fitzy]

I just think KFitzy87 couldn't resist over at WRNL. It's not going to be the song.

Yeah, no. If I were joking I would have put the "humor" tag at the top of the article. And if I didn't trust the source, I wouldn't have ran the article.

 

[Desiigner]

Every time people say this, we happen to be right. Funny how that works. I'm 100% confident in the source.

But, I also wouldn't put it past them to pull a last-minute switcheroo.

Yeah I'll believe it when I hear it

Can we go from Thunderstruck right into Jock Jams? I really like that idea.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Barf. What a waste if true.

 

[GTO]

so Rains in Africa would work as well...

Or even Rock You Like a Hurricane.

Thunderstruck is jock jams at this point.

 

[SC Cy]

60,000 people at Jack Trice will love it. There will be a couple thousand that have their arms crossed because the song isn't from 2016...is used by another team...isn't rap...whatever. I'll be busy screaming my lungs out while you guys mope about the song.

"You've been...THUNDERSTRUCK!" (cue fireworks and team running on the field).

 

[TruClone]

Completely uninspired....

First hiccup of the offseason. A tired song

They couldn't get the rights to Jailbreak or Dirty Deeds? R.I.P Bon Scott

Or "The Jack".

 

[ISU85]

If ISU wins the game I love this choice.

If they lose ... I hate this choice and Thunderstruck gets all of the blame.

 

[Farnsworth]

I was very meh at first, but kinda like it now, kinda.....

I was trying to think of songs that have a decent build and then a breaking point, and I think this works as it's weather themed and the build doesn't take forever. You can show the players slowing walking from wherever on the big screen and everytime they say thunder, do some storm graphic overlay.

You're never gonna satisfy 100%, hell 70% of the people. Wouldn't be my first choice but it works.

 

[Farnsworth]

A lot of songs people were suggesting are great songs to play throughout the game, or during warm ups, but don't fit what an entrance song is.

 

[Cloner007]

Awful choice. Thunderstruck certainly is overdone and just plain old to be honest. No chance one of those guys on the team gets hyped to that garbage. Play something the players (18-23 yr olds) will get up for, not what the donor's/older fan base will be pleased with hearing.

When I lived in Nebraska for a few years in the 90s, at the height of the Jordan dynasty, 99.9% of Nebraska residents referred to the Alan Parsons Project song the Chicago Bulls were introduced to as "The Husker Song". Moron after moron would call radio stations on Saturday morning to play "The Husker Song" while in the entire rest of the known universe it was synonymous with the Jordan Bulls.

While I hope we aren't as stupid as those fans, it really doesn't matter if you won...and the Huskers were also in their prime. It didn't matter that they were in their own little bubble of ignorance and arrogance, not to them one bit.

 

[Gunnerclone]

AC/DC is so cringe. Why would we use the official band of tavernhoks and floodplainhoks?

 

[HFCS]

so Rains in Africa would work as well...

I'm thinking for Cy we should run out to "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants.

With our mascot being a bird, I think the clear answer was one of the many artistic renderings of the famed 21st century poet Birdman.
