Ask the recruits and players what they want to hear. They matter we don't and that's it.
Have a good stadium music suggestion? Let Rutgers know
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Forget the player and recruits. This is all about me, dammit!
If I can't have "Jizz in my pants.", then I'm taking my season tickets and donation money and going home to pout.
You're wrong. We do matter. It's our butts in the seats cheering them on. It's our money that's allowing our sports programs to progress. It us who are there supporting them when a team isn't doing well. It's us who have been there with the University through thick and thin, good times and bad.
prefer their earlier stuff, but it works too (see some the ones I listed earlier in the thread)
Our money is not allowing our sports programs to progress it's what's holding us back. You and I matter very little we are easily replaceable. Recruits do not want to hear old guy music our current players do not want to hear old guy music. Our players want what their generation listens to not what your or mine listens to. Most of our fan base gives the bare minimum to our sports programs and do that while complaining to no end. The people in charge know this so they won't cater to the fans. We need players so that is who the administration will cater to on game day Mr Moderator.
In light of the musical tastes of a lot of people on here it's funny that that people are against "country". Country music today (or "modern country") is just about the only thing in the main stream that is listenable. It's simple rock. Sure, most of the musician aren't geniuses and there are more than a few ballads but it could easily pass for Bon Jovi or any other main stream rock group still out there.
The idea that Flo Rida should be played over country is hilarious (and I don't even mind Flo Rida).

Country music is the only form of music I can't stand listening to. Like nails on a chalkboard to my ears.
My youngest kid likes country music. Yet another reason I know there's a God and that (a) he has a great sense of humor, and (b) he hates me. [laughing]
Agree that the music has to be appealing to the players too. Wild guess here, but doubt the majority of players are country music fans. Can't think of many country tunes that would inspire the crowd and the players to get pumped up when 99% of country songs deal with depressing topics like a horse running away or dying, a break up, a pickup truck will not start or losing a cowboy hat.
While I don't know the age of your youngest I presume s/he is listening to modern country vs. the traditional country that we think of as country. Who's knows maybe my musical tastes have changed dramatically and I just don't know it. Anyway, I would put a Kenny Chesney show up there with just about anyone still touring. Hours of tailgating, everyone in a good mood and then 3+ hours of high energy music. There's a reason the guy sells out stadium after stadium every single year.
It would be good to get a pump up theme of our own, the way Wisconsin has jump around. The EDM Hum was a good idea, but they spent too much time on the hum part and not getting to the part of the song that could get the crowd moving.
Funny because they blast the country music at SEC games every week. I appreciate that the fans represent a different demographic (to some extent) but it doesn't seem to effect the players at all
Thought the "HUM" and accompanying video was well done but only Rutgers would create a "Crowd Video" to encourage the fans to keep their mouths shut. You can not "HUM" loudly nor open your mouth and hum. Couldn't imagine being in that meeting and saying that will increase noise in our stadium. Much like the air guitar third down motion. Does not add to overall volume in the stadium. It actually probably works counter to the intended result.
Even God doesn't think Andy Samberg is funny.
That by definition is nails on the chalkboard.
Ha ha. Now that's my kind of party!
I liked the Hum. Imagine the entire stadium doing the Hum while the opposing team takes the field. Start quiet and just keep doing the hum over and over building it bit by bit until it hits a crescendo as our team appears at the end of the tunnel. Then break into the next house music part. Crowd goes insane.
All fueled by hookers and massive quantities of blow.
I'm getting chills just thinking about it.
Good point. Not a Bon Jovi fan, but this song "This is R House" with the follow up could get the crowd going--good lyrics too:
This is our time
This is our night
Are you alive?
Get up, get up, get up, get up, time to fly
Are we gonna raise the roof? (Oh yeah)
Are we gonna touch the sky? (Hell yeah)
Everybody with me let me hear you now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
This is our house
These are my people, listen, this is my town
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
(Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
This is our house
(Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
With the wind and our time
We have arrived
We won't be denied
Get up, get up, get up, get up, time to shine
Are we gonna turn it up? (oh yeah)
Are we gonna shake it up? (hell yeah)
Everybody with me let me hear you now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
This is our house
These are my people, listen, this is my town
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
This is our house
These are my colors, this is sacred ground
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
This is our house (Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
All I know is it totally drives me nuts when I get into a car he's been driving, switch the engine on and hear that screetchy, whiney, twangy stuff. No clue who the artists are.
Pretty sure he does it on purpose. My children inherited my twisted prankster mentality and love to mess with me. Boy do I love my kids. :)
They probably play "My Cheatin' Heart" a lot in the SEC.
(I confess I don't even know if that's a real country song - but it sounded like it would be.)
Well, I mean, actual nails on a chalkboard is the definition of nails on a chalkboard. But I see what you're saying.
The live versions "Keg In The Closet" and "Beer in Mexico" should be on everyone's tailgate playlist.
More EDM!

The RU opening drive (Offense) should start out with the first 30 seconds of Rammstein's "Waidmanns Heil" Good Hunting). Would go well with the whole "The Hunt" theme. Either that or hunting horns.
Then switch it to "Birthplace" since they are both two syllables.
And blend in some "Night Train" but spell it Knight Train on the Video Board.
Pre-game and warm up, yes.
In-game it's to keep us interested. They have other things to worry about and concentrating on. And if they are concerned about what is being played during a game, we got problems.
That song is the worst. Don't know if he is the original composer, but the studio recorded version drove people from NJ to take antidepressants.
