Dome Music: A Rant

TheOak · 08-27-2012, 01:16 PM

Ok how about some New Orleans originated music:

Lillian Axe
Louis Armstrong
Better than Ezra
Harry Connick Jr.
Cowboy Mouth
Fats Domino
and throw in some C-Murdah from time to time

New Orleans is a cornucopia of musical origin... Blend it all in... Doesn't always need to be Blues, Rap, or a mix tape from the 80's.

I love 'em all, and could probably add a hundred more. That's all I'm asking for!!!

IIRC, the music was decent in 2006 before games, since then its just gone down hill. Crunk might be overplayed but it gets the crowd to go ape-**** bananas and strikes fear in opposing fans, which adds to the mystique of the dome, any song that does that is ok in my book

Another thing to think about...I have no proof of this but I've always felt for a while now that Drew might actually be behind, or at least supportive of, the Crunk song playing after every touchdown...he freaking LOVES those kind of game rituals -- like the beefy cheesy mac, the pregame chant he does with the team, the "Who Dat" thing with the crowd in the Dome, and the way that at the start of the second half of EVERY game in the Dome, he always runs out the locker room and goes jogging all the way to the opposite goal line and plants his feet over the goal line, right there in the end zone. And if you remember, Purdue plays the "Purdue Fight Song" after every touchdown, so I'm sure he got exposed to the idea of a song that plays automatically after every TD score. We don't know -- I'm pretty sure he's not the one who picked the song out, but it would not surprise me one bit if it turned out that Drew had something to do with it becoming a recent Saints tradition.

When at the dome, the music is the least of my worries. I just want to witness a win. I am not a big fan of gangsta rap or whatnot but it is a cultural thing and I have learned to accept it.

Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

Think there needs to be something new to catch on. Need a jingle guy.

Sounds like a good idea on the surface, changing up the music and all, but to what?

"When the Saints Come Marching In" is not exactly stand up and dance in the aisles music after a touchdown, is it?

I mean, with all of the music genius in New Orleans, you would think SOMEONE would come up with a stinking Fight Song.

I mean come on now, if those freakin' mutants in Philly can come up with "Fly Eagles, Fly" to rock the stadium with, can't the talent of NOLA come up with something?

I vote for Skindred's Nobody.

Nobody gets out of this shark pit alive
Nobody, nobody gets out alive!
Nobody gets out an extra breath of life
Nobody, nobody gets out alive!

That'd be just awesome... maybe change shark pit for Superdome.

Why do people in this thread keep wishing they would play "When The Saints," they already play "When The Saints" by Fats Domino, after every kicking score.
