Don't Stop Believin'

[G- RUnit]

Dear Mr. DJ,

The chorus and the line, "Don't Stop Believin' " is the main point of the song. Not the intro. Like singing Sweet Caroline without Sweet Caroline.

Really doesn't make sense. Might want to re-think it.

 

[graystork]

Agreed. They never get to the good part. Start it sooner or shorten it. This could be a great Rutgers song along with Livin on a Prayer. Please never play Sweet Caroline again.

Here I thought this was gonna be a positive thread ...but it's just another "whine like a b4tch about inconsequential nonsense" thread. Guess that's on me for not suspecting.

Journey blows

 

[BABYBULL24]

Nobody gives a crap about Journey - including Stephen Perry - he is to embarrassed to come back to that shit.

That song and NJ will always be linked because of The Sopranos.

Would kind of like if they did a quick tribute to James Gandolfini when they play the song as well. Gotta be some good RU photos with him in it. He was a big supporter of the program.

I still hear the screeching of high school girls when that song was played on any random weekend party in 1982.

The head in the sand crowd doesn't realize that this is a forum and that there is always room to make the RU game day a better experience. Some just don't like change and probably pining for Lafayette and Lehigh in our 23,000 seat stadium. Can't please everybody.

Don't stop Believing is always played because of Eric LeGrand ..bELive. They show his 52 at the end & used to show him in the booth. I agree, however, if you are going to play the song the chorus is pretty important.

A friend was at the psu game last night. They played Sweet Caroline there. It's a good crowd song. Boston does not hold the patent for it.

 

[G- RUnit]

Exactly! If you don't play the believin' it's just someone from South Detroit taking a train ride to a smoky bar.

Having said that San Francisco Giants aside, It's a really tough singalong song.

 

[RUJohnny99]

I'm convinced the song was written by a committee of music executives in their 50s that had this long hair pop band at the birth of music videos and didn't know what to do with them

45 second solo of a random instrument (keyboard)
20 seconds of lyrics which are sometimes the most milquetoast reaction to events and sometimes just random words thrown together "south Detroit", "streetlight people"
45 second solo of a different instrument (bass)
20 seconds of random words about random people
Repeat a third time (guitar)

And then finally
DON'T STOP BELIEEVIN'....

The song was dead and buried until June 2007 when David Chase added it as filler to a random scene about a family gathering at a diner & then ended the song right at the good part.
