New Attitude, New Entrance Song

[NanookZag]

Next year's team needs a new attitude. Put the prima donna attitude down, and bring the lunch pail to work every day. Without exception and without question. Blue collar hard work

With that, I think we need an alternative to the Zombie Nation entrance song and timeout song. Something that gets everyone going. Think Enter Sandman at Virginia Tech. If you have not seen it check it out

I am a big fan of the intro to Dropkick Murphys "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" but BC already uses that one.

Any thoughts?

[BobZag]

BTO's "Takin' Care of Business."

Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water."

ZZ Top's "La Grange."

Ahh, I dated myself, huh?

[Bulldog]

Pink Floyd "Another brick in the wall"
Rolling Stones "Sreet fighting man"

Come on. Bob Dylan

"Tangled up in Blue."

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
I was layin' in bed
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
And I was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
Tangled up in blue.

She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
But I used a little too much force.
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out West
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best.
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin' away
I heard her say over my shoulder,
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue,"
Tangled up in blue.

I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the ax just fell.
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I happened to be employed
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
Right outside of Delacroix.
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind,
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
Tangled up in blue.

She was workin' in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer,
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear.
And later on as the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same,
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
She studied the lines on my face.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"You look like the silent type."
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.

I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs,
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air.
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died.
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside.
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn,
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
Tangled up in blue.

So now I'm goin' back again,
I got to get to her somehow.
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives.
Don't know how it all got started,
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.

The Oakland Raiders play AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" when the players are coming onto the field, and it gives me chills every time!! That could be a good fit for next year's squad.

[ZagNut08]

5 min before tipoff: remember the name
3 min before tipoff: zombie nation
tipoff: bring 'em out

I don't think we should replace zombie nation, but I would have no probelm seeing one of the other two songs replaced. Something more intense around tipoff would be good

[theothegreat21]

Im a supporter of replacing Bring em Out with We Will Rock you. Imagine the Kennel Club painted white like this.

Great call

I think either Rob Dibble or one of the other nasty boys used to come out of the pen to this and it was awesome to behold. The bells would start to chime and the doors would open and he would come sprinting all the way out to the mound. To me there isn't a better song to open to, tho I could be persuaded to go with Thunderstruck.

[darkness]

Thunderstruck is always good...although We Will Rock You would get the crowd going too.

[nonzagzag]

Nazareth

'Hair of the Dog' was my alltime favorite to warm up and feel aggressive to!

plus it has even more cowbell even than 'Don't fear the Reaper' so everybody could bring a cowbell and play along

[ZagNut08]

I dont think we will rock you would get the students going

[darkness]

I dont think we will rock you would get the students going

Why not?

[CarolinaZagFan]

I think ECU has a cool entrance with Jimmy Hendrix's Purple Haze, but then again GU don't have purple as a color, so it is all invalid but here's the video.

I have been waiting for a new song for quite some time and i'm only 21 years old. It seems everyone and their mom plays zombie nation before every game and i think it's time for a new song as well! Anything from Metallica or ACDC would be great, but i think some new age stuff might get the kids and the players a little more amped. Some suggestions probably not many on the board would think of: Da Rude- Sandstorm ( great techno beat, always got me pumped up) or Ratatat (17 years). Check em out, i think they would be awesome!

[Zagpower]

Next game against USD, we could play a little AC/DC "Who Made Who?"
