Even though I like Pantera, I think their song doesn't sound that great. It just sounds like a bunch of noise and then DALLAS. STARS. DALLAS. STARS.

I've experienced it in person many times, and let me tell ya, the Dallas Stars "goal song" is terrible. Just because they get everyone to say "DALLAS. STARS." doesn't make it good.

This should totally be our new goal song:

this is a terrible edit and should be redone by someone with time and musical editing talent but something like this... I kept the gimme more gimme mores and the nananas
also goal horn and obligitory terrible digital drum fill at the end

I actually think with a professional edit that could be really good. Just get rid of all the lyrics and stick with the "na na na" part so it's easy to hear and everyone can join in.

I remember this song from "Tunes From the Tank", which is a CD they sent season ticket holders for the 10th anniversary. It was basically stuff they played routinely at some point in the 90s.

Shark Attack - The Wailing Souls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw5lIdSYFDM

Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack
Back back, coming with a double attack
Step back, here comes the shark attack

I think you can shout along to the emphasized "back back" and "step back".

Someone on reddit suggested getting a ska band to do an uptempo cover. Now THAT would be California style.

Seeing how my pick is Na Na Na, I've finally figured out where I'd cut it from. I'd start from 1:03 and go to 1:38 on the youtube video which is about as long as the song plays in the Sharks sample video.

https://youtu.be/egG7fiE89IU?t=1m3s

So lyrics would go

Love, gimme love, gimme love
I don't need it, but I'll take what I want from your heart
And I'll keep it in a bag, in a box
Put an X on the floor
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more
Shut up and sing it with me

(Na na na... sung in the background all the way to the end)

From mall security
To every enemy
We're on your property
Standing in V formation

(Na na na...)

Let's blow an artery
Eat plastic surgery
Keep your apology
Give us more detonation

I think that song is so annoying, so I guess that means it would work as a goal song?

How about state of Massachusetts by Dropkick Murphy's? I realize the name of the song but the intro is quite catchy

I don't know why no one has suggested using "Hotel California"...

Everyone and their cat knows the song, it's a classic so should appeal broadly, and couldn't even be that expensive to obtain the rights for.

Meh, not really high energy enough imo.

Should just do the intro for For Whom the Bell Tolls (the whole Metallica connection again; they should really milk that), or Walk by Pantera.

After tonight's game, the sound of jaws dropping. :laugh:

WTFetus · Mar 11, 2016

Ed Sheeran's Sing. :sarcasm:

Think that would be a pretty good to annoy other fans like Chelsea Dagger does.

As long as we're talking about the Gypsy Kings version, I'm down.

Should pay the baha men to redo the who let the dogs out to who let the sharks out.

Here are the apparent choices. Don't love any of them, but I could live with Motley Crue or Mickey Krouse.
LMFAO is ridiculous enough to work too. :laugh:

Baha Men's response was that they're still considering other options.

If they want a hard rock choice, Do It Again by Queens of the Stone Age would be an excellent one. Cut right in at the course "Won't you do it agaaaaiiinnnn?" and then there's even a "duh-duh-duh-duh-duh HEY!" part right after that. It would be perfect.

But personally, I'm still a big fan of the San-Ho Zay by Freddie King suggestion. It would be super unique, a nice tribute to the Whalers and Brass Bonanza in a way, it's retro (it would be a sick accompaniment to wearing their vintage jerseys), and it's the kind of thing that adds to franchise's culture, instead of just becoming a tacky, forgotten footnote, like the current goal song is, and the suggestions probably would become. I hate the fact that they are just looking for some garbage, throwaway song to get the eight year-olds at the game pumped up, rather than something that is going to be a lasting, memorable part of the franchise.

As cheesy as a a "Who let the Sharks Out" song would be, it at least has that immediate hook. All the songs they have on the list are to slow of a build up. They eed something that hits fast.

I nominated this last time and voted for it as a write in. Best option IMO.
:yo:

Totally agreed with your second paragraph. That's the problem with trying to replace a song like RRpt2, especially the MIDI version we had; it was a big part of the culture and atmosphere of being at a Sharks game. Obviously it's understandable why they need to change it, but like you said, they're basically just trying to throw something in its place. They're just going to keep having to pick new goal songs at this rate.

I agree 100% with the bolded. I really hope they choose something classic and unique that becomes a part of the franchises identity.

I think this is a better version than the one I posted earlier:

Imagine that playing after Jumbo notches that 4th goal :handclap:

The Motley Crue one is probably the best of the bunch for the fan vote.

Yeah, Motley Crue is probably the best of the options available.

Its like politics man..None of the options are ideal but you play the hand you're dealt :p:
