The stadium DJ currently plays N*Sync. <_<


Nsync should be restricted to when the other team gets a red card. How awesome would it be if Shirley Joseph sees red, and the stadium and section breaks out in some "Bye Bye Bye"?

Three things. One, the Hardchorus thing is the most genius use of viral video advertising I think I've ever seen.

Two. When slowed down so that newbies can catch on and sung with passion almost any song can have power and menace, even if it is a love ballad. I.e. the Italian version of the Hardchorus ad. The words say, "I Love You," the attitude says, "I'm going to rip your throat out."

Three. See number two. Even the cheesiest song can work if it is done as above. For instance, I think a little REO would be awesome. It would resonate with people of a certain ages and have that arch, hipster, irony thing going for it. And shit, EVERYONE knows the words. Win-win.

Oh, and Four: Anything sounds badass when shouted by drunken East Enders. Bonus points for singing with a Cockney accent.

Actually, they are from North London. The Hardchorus was shot in the Bell and the Hare (a Tottenham bar).

And I meant
Every word I said
When I said that I love you, I meant that I love you forever

I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

(repeat ad nauseam)

It's pretty damn terrible, but so much so that it just might work. And we can pretty much count on the fact no one else anywhere will even attempt it.

I interned in the FO for a little while and trust me they are so dumb had they payed off the refs they probably would have presented them one of those huge checks during halftime on the field.

Frank I hope you've been working on Klingon Attack.



The English don't have a lock on using shitty pop songs....plus who would ever EVER dare say you didn't have a heart full of love if in public.... showed you knew the lyrics (or in my case NOT know) to a REO Speedwagon song.

My loathing for REO is surpassed only by Journey.

But if sung by somewhere between 2,000 and 20,500 people, and accompanied by ample amounts of beer, this could just work.



Anything come to mind that would work offa "Me and Julio down by the school yard", for Martinez?

It's definitely stupid. But it's local, relevant, and easy. And we can take heart that no matter how dumb singing REO might be, it'll never approach the ridiculousness of singing a Broadway showtune.

I've been humming it to myself already ever since it's been suggested.
