Listen! Do you smell that?
That’s the sound of Sharks hockey swiftly approaching, and true to off season form, the Sharks have decided to change a few things up. Most notably, their goal song. For years it’s been Rock and Roll part two by Gary Glitter, but that’s about to change. Mr. Glitter is not a good man, and while use of his songs is not necessarily an endorsement of his activities, changing it isn’t a bad thing. The real problem lies with the current list of suggestions proposed by the organization:
“Holiday” by Green Day, “Electric Worry” by Clutch, “Burn it to the Ground” by Nickelback, “Break Away” by CFO$ and “Uprising” by Muse.
Sweet hockey gods, NICKELBACK?
Sharks Territory, we have to have some better options than this.
Let’s make a list of potential goal songs that the Sharks should REALLY consider using this season, shall we?
Ok, first off, we’ll start with the obvious. “Holiday” by Green Day. Also featured on the list above, it already spent a short lived season as the Sharks goal song. Fans from that experimental era will already know and remember how this particular song works, so crowd training will be quick. Standing precedence will make this transition smooth and easy.
Miracles, ICP
This could be a solid choice with just a few creative lyrical changes.
Goals, how the fuck do they work?
Are you a believer in miracles?
Goal magic everywhere in this bitch
Do you notice and recognize goals?
It’s all around you, you don’t even know it
Are you a believer in goals? Shit’s crazy
Afternoon Delight, Starland Vocal Band
The perfect song for after a Rooster Trick. It doesn’t need another selling point.
Sky rocket’s in flight, afternoon delight
Afternoon delight, afternoon delight
Never Gonna Give You Up, Rick Astley
The perfect trololol goal song for the internet age. The reference is old and slightly out of date, making it perfect for use in an NHL arena.
Who Let the Dogs Out, Baha Men
This seems like the type of a song an executron would pick because it’s catchy and the kids love it, not realizing it’s 15 years old and totally not right for anything ever.
Whatever Song the Red Wings Use
Because , you know it’s the Red Wings. They have a winning pedigree and rings and Cups and things. SUCCESS!
Chelsea Dagger, The Fratellis
Because some men like to watch the world burn.
