This thing is approaching vuvuzela annoyance levels.

 

[zombie kopitar]

I wake up to it every morning stuck in my head....and then I go watch hockey games, when will the madness end!

Now this thread has got it stuck in my head

 

[Zamboni Parade]

That ******* whistle song.

It is eroding my brain as well.

 

[eyetest is useless]

I haaaate it

At least the mind numbing slovenskoooooo from a few years ago had a better melody to it and the crowd seemed to like it

 

[Cassano]

I must be the only one who enjoys it.

 

[LtnCastillo]

 

[Cruor]

It's King Louie's tune from the Jungle Book.

 

[Cassano]

Thanks!

Can teams decline a PP, to avoid hearing the song?

 

[Pominville Knows]

I think its super cool since the player getting ejected might just want to not get there again.

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Can teams decline a PP, to avoid hearing the song?

Switzerland should, even without the song

 

[Ralgo]

Wholeheartly agreed. Im all for shooting the guy who authorized using this song for ANYTHING on WC.

 

[Jablkon]

I actually like it a lot. Together with graphic on the jumbotron its just hillarious...:ú https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uRkOjXehPE

I must be the only one who enjoys it.

Well, I enjoy it as well

 

[Beerfish]

Yakkety sax would have been better, complete with some Bennie Hill jumbotron action.

 

[SCBdude]

I love that tune

 

[xxxx]

It is too much imo, they should have at least three different songs.

 

[Henri M]

Love it. Fantastic

That was funny/adorable... do they have one for all the normal penalties (save, say, spraying the goaltender)? Would love to see the rabbit give the ref a piece of his mind like Snoopy.

It's King Louie's tune from the Jungle Book.

Yes, it is! It's the chorus of "I Wan'na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)," a classic tune from 1967 written for and featured in Disney's The Jungle Book. The character King Loue sings the song in the film.





A bit of documentary footage about the song:
