while at the gym this morning a song came up on my play list that struck me as the song to be played between the third and fourth quarter as the crowd sing along song.
key the song needs to be familiar, words not overly complicated, and the chorus easy enough to remember that if someone has consumed too many of the now sold throughout the stadium beers they can still stumble through it.
important in my mind though that the song has a certain edge about it, a certain grit and toughness in how it is done that it tells the frogs opponents things are really about to get nasty this final fifteen minutes.
i give you motorhead's cover of bowie's hereos
what sealed it for me is lemmy. frogs moto this year is earn the chip. no one had a bigger chip in the history of rock than lemmy.
the guy lived his life, recorded what he wanted regardless of the record execs, and was out front of motorhead up to a few months before his death at 70.
gary as frustrating as he can be at times has built this defense, this team, this program how he wanted, experts be damned and the idea he is going to do it his way until he leaves the program is the defiance you hear in lemmy's vocals.
granted, might want a different video on the message board, but i am sure someone else can come up with that.
