I want to preface this thread on the fact that I actually quite like "you make my dreams" as a goal song. I know it gets panned a lot throughout the league as being kind of "embarrassing" or too "soft" for hockey but I still like getting up and dancing to the dosset tones of Hall and Oates when the Leafs tickle the twine.
With that being said, sometimes I feel like the song doesn't necessarily fit in certain situations when the Leaf's score. I feel like the song is like the proverbial "montage song" that gets played in movies and isn't always applicable for a leafs goal. However, I personally don't want to abandon the song altogether as I do like it.
So my thoughts were what about having potentially more than 1 goal song. The song that is played would be contingent on the situation on the ice. For example we could have 3 goal songs;
One Is played when the leafs score but are still behind, (maybe something inspirational/motivational picture (but I am not suggesting it be this) a song like "lose yourself"
A different is played if the leafs tie it up, maybe something designed for the opponent to "feel" nervous or something intimidating. Even something like "started from the bottom" would be apropos with a comeback goal.
And finally a potential third song played if it is a go ahead goal or increases a prexisting lead. Something liberating exuberant (maybe hall and oates best suits this goal situation)
Maybe if an empty netter is scored the arena could play something a bit more in your face/cocky, I don't know something like "another one bites the dust" basically saying your done, game is over.
For the record the songs I have mentioned are not the songs I am suggesting they become so don't flame my picks they were given for example basis. But perhaps you can suggest your own that would fit?
Has any team ever really had different goals songs based on situation or period and how has that worked?
Would you support this approach? Why/Why not?
Do you think it would be too confusing for casual fans?
