That reminds me...I need to shop for a new whalers hat.
Left mine in the back seat of a St. Louis cab. I loved that hat.

They've lost enough the bonanza is all that's left.
How about they have some kid with a torch come out and light the ice on fire after every goal?

I was just saying today to my friends I think it's time for a new goal song. I want something the crowd will actually sing/yell like some other arenas.
The goal horn is fine as is

I don't know what Gary Glitter is. And just because those are also terrible choices, doesn't make Zombie Nation a good choice. I am real. It's not a good goal song. It's not unique. A handful of other arenas play it as regular musical interludes. The possibilities are infinite, and those options could be much better.
If you think that is our best option, then I don't think we'll ever agree. But I'd like something a bit more unique than a techno song that is played in any of the other arenas.

The Gary Glitter song is "Rock n Roll (Part 2)". If you want a challenge, go and YouTube Part 1, and see if you can guess what it is before loading Part 2. I guarantee if you've been to a sporting event since 1980, you will recognize the song.
It's the "Hey - You Suck" song, and, according to Wikipedia, it was the Devils who started the "Hey - You Suck" chant. Last year, they got rid of it for that reason, and fans got annoyed. At the Hockey East final four at the Garden last (this) year, the bands from both sides played it too, with the college kids chanting along. (And, really - is "suck" in that context -that- terrible? I don't think I'm being overly PC when I say our version of "Ole, Ole, Ole" is a helluva lot worse.)
Of course, there's a much better reason to never, ever play "Rock n Roll (Part 2)". Gary Glitter has been convicted of both possession of child pornography and child sexual abuse. To me, that's reason enough to never play the song again - even if he doesn't get royalties, it just feels wrong. And it's not that great of a song to begin with.
I'm not a big fan of Kernkraft 400, either - I guess I'm just a stick-in-the-mud. Song 2 by Blur, anyone? (It's the woo-hoo song, so at least there's a line for audience participation beyond making moaning sounds.)
I'm an awful Bostonian for saying this, but I don't like the Dropkick Murphys either...but at least it's local and unique. (Plus, it's a great song for other teams to play when they beat a team and advance to a round against us, too!)
That damn pigeonhole principle says there will be some teams that don't get a unique song - there's probably about 20 or so "standard victory songs" floating around, and 30 teams.
Not to hate on this thread too much (after all, I am adding oil), but this thread really makes me wish it were October....

Not a huge Dropkick Murphy's fan, but either For Boston or a cut from Shipping Up to Boston. First one would be better.

I guess that is the truth really, if they hit a wet cardboard box with a stick and play "Greensleeves" on the recorder every time the Bruins score I still want to hear it!
I'm sure you're a lovely person, and as someone from Dighton I'm willing to let things slide for a near-local, but this statement makes me hate you a little.
HATE Zombie Nation. Both terrible AND unoriginal.
I think the B's should go local, or take a page from English Soccer Hooligans and use a completely random song from turn of the century music halls. Bunch of 250-lb Medfid dudes singing something from Three-Penny Opera at the top of their lungs? The WTF factor would be AMAZING.

THat's what I liked about brass bonanza.
For some really WTF they could play parts of Disgustipated..
Starting at around 2:36
To the people suggesting Brass Bonanza... You are aware that the Bruins have long had a song, right?

I would seriously reflect on coming out of the closet as a flyers fan
Are you so sure about that?
Yeah, I sometimes get embarrassed when the Flyers score.

Every once in a while I'll catch them playing it for 10 minutes. Awesome

Although it was weird at first, the "Derp derp derp da da derp derp derp" goal horn really grew on me... Probably during the Pens series.
