How does a fan get on these types of committees?
Asking for a friend.
All time classic 🤘
Imagining them blasting the music and turning the lights on and off in the dressing room testing this out. They’re basically all of us when we were 12 years old in our room with our friends doing pretend WWE entrances haha.
Anything is better than that tragically hip song they came out to before
Money for nothing is a certified banger no doubt (especially as a walk on), but why did they decide to move away from giftshop? I liked how the the only discernible lyrics with all the crowd noise and horn was “we’ve got to feel small” and “we’re not out of place at all.” It felt fitting that this team that hasn’t made the playoffs in a decade and a half, which is mostly made up of guys who have been here for several years of that struggle, acknowledged that yes we are the underdog, but we will fight just as hard as any other motherfucker in the league
Badass. Love this gotdang team
Great song. When I’m at the game it gives me goosebumps every time they come out to this.
i had been wondering about this!! great reporting.
We need to revisit Swords of a Thousand Men as the goal song. Imagine that catchy ass chorus line playing with the whole arena going nuts after a big goal. It needs to happen in my opinion.
Now can we make the Sabre Dance the goal song again?
Money for Nothing is a certified banger. No complaints from me!
Used to live in Rochester. On the classic rock station 96.5, when they’d play this song, they’d awkwardly censor the f-slur in the second verse with some weird effect. Twice. The third time they said it, for whatever reason, they’d let it fly uncensored. Hilarious every single time.
That is an amazing song to get the crowd amped up. Love it.
Ok downvotes expected.
Lame. No. Not the vibe and not a good hype song for an ice entrance. Not sorry
Now that would get me pumped…instead of jeff skinners i wanna dance with somebody..,right when mark knoppler’s guitar riff starts, synchronize with some TT 1xers and beck body slams!!!
